PLEASE PLEASE PLEASEEE HELP MEE
I am making a dress.. it is just a plain straight cream dress but I want 2 add long puff ball sleeves.
I want these sleeves to be really dramatic however, once I know how to actually make a puffball sleeve I can work how to make them bigger and more puffier etc out by myself
SOO...
HOW DO I MAKE LONG PUFFBALL SLEEVES?
ALSO HOW CAN I MAKE THEM VERY PUFFIE HAHA
THANKS GUYS!

If the ones you make aren't coming out right, you can try using http://www.gatheringguide.com to find a store near you that sells fairytale dresses like that. I've tried before and they're pretty hard. The trick is folding the fabric back onto itself every few inches around each end of the sleeve so the middle fans out unruffled (and bigger than the ruffled ends). Then sew a seam around both ends and you have a sleeve.
