Russian Split Sleeves

This thread is archived.

  • I'm trying to find a pattern or tutorial on Russian Split seems for my Anastasia Cosplay. I have most everything else figured out (the boned bodice part is done except for all the little detail work). Does anyone know where I could find one or help me to draft one?

    See the attachment to see what I mean!

    Thank you advance for ANY help.

  • Those specific sleeves are a wide triangle gathered to fit around the opening of a sleeve, with the gap in a front-facing place that's comfortable to the arm. You could easily vary the width of the triangle to fine-tune the amount of drape and pouf.
