Sleeve
I used brocade to make the stripes that are around the lower
part of the skirt. The brocade is beaded with pearls and gold beads. (Similar
to the portrait of Sybilla's sister, Anne of Cleves) I also used fringe
on the skirt to protect the velvet. |

The Sybilla of Cleves portrait has a goblet shaped cuff
on the sleeves. I knew that, sooner or later, I would be dipping that type
of cuff in my soup. After a bit of research, I found that the sleeves has
a smaller cuff later in the century. (while the type of bodice I wanted
was still in use.) The sleeves are attached to the bodice with hook
and eyes. |
