Inspiration Runway: Leg of mutton sleeve at The 2nd Skin Co

The leg of mutton sleeve is wide at the upper sleeve and close fitting at the wrist. This kind of sleeve is also called ham sleeve or gigot (french). This sleeve came up at the end of the 16th century, became modern again around the turn of the century and is now returning to fashion. The width at the sleeve cap is either gathered or pleated. The shoulder width should be reduced for this sleeve with high sleeve cap. Use the standard or fitted sleeve as a template for the pattern construction. The following illustrations show two variations of the leg of mutton sleeve in width and design.
