- subject matching 'Fashion Plates: Sleeves and cuffs - Amadis sleeves'
Worn for daywear in the 1830s when the term implied a sleeve with a tight cuff at the wrist, and in the 1850s when tight from the wrist to the elbow and closed by buttons. References from 1840 describe a tight sleeve with two seams, like the sleeves of a man's coat, following the exact shape of a slightly bent arm.
