All hand stitched down to the button holes. The sleeves are slim tightly fitted with Valenciennes Lace trim. These slim sleeves were the fashion design in 1840. A puffier sleeve was fashionable in 1860! This is original and clearly dates her attire to 1840 along with the "bell shaped" skirt all fashionable during this time!!
