["Garnish"] undersleeves (and matching decorative collar) by Homue, with two models, one flowery and the other more cristal-like.
I like how those kind of modern accessories in fact echo past ones. here those sleeves reminds me of 18th century "engageantes". You can find another modern take in kimono fashion here.

Knitblr friends!
Can I ask for help/advice please?
I'm knitting the shiftigan : https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/shiftigan
It's my first stranded color work, first steeking project, first cardigan and first fitted piece of clothing!
I just split for sleeves and tried it on, and am concerned that the bottom edge of the sleeve is rising too far up into my armpit ? I don't know how better to describe it except that it feels weird. And the seam of my T-shirt sleeve was lower than it felt like the cardigan sleeve would fall which makes me worried about fitting it on over base layers.
So questions:
1. Does anyone have any good sleeve fit tutorials? (I've been trying to read the notes on other ravlery project posts but haven't found anything relevant yet)
2. Is the height of the base of the sleeve cast-on likely to change much once I pickup/start building out the sleeve? Or after blocking?
3. If I go off pattern and add length before splitting for sleeves, how do I tell where to split?
Any advice appreciated at this point! I'm only 3 rows beyond the split right now, so easy enough to frog if needed!
