Rouleau loops - I have had to look up the spelling of this as it seems I have been spelling it wrong for quite a while.
Today, I met with Mandy - third year making tutor - and Helena in an impromptu meeting to discuss sleeves and fastenings as the fabrics we are now looking at have no stretch to them and with the narrow sleeves on the designs, changes are needed. After looking through books on period specific sleeves, I have decided upon a sleeve with a loose gather at the shoulder in the chiffon, flowing down to a wider gather into a satin cuff fastened with the imfamous rouleau loops.
The changes to the fabric has also meant a change has been requied for Hippolyta's wedding dress (maker Dannielle) as her sleeves have the same problem. For this however I have opten to change it to a fluted sleeve as this mirrors the tiers on the design more effectively. This dress will have rouleau loops, though down the back as a fastening.
