Drafting a sleeve pattern
«

I've been intending to make the free Bernina Shirt Dress for a long time, and the time has come.
https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjYubfb3crYAhWJ7RQKHfQfDrIQjRwIBw&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pinterest.com%2Fpin%2F340584790560780798%2F&psig=AOvVaw1z2OR79ivQ0ipELSBM3T3G&ust=1515582168798261
I'm going to a Christening in a few weeks and need a Churchgoing dress to wear, the only problem with this one is the daft sleeves (or lack of).
I've found a good review here:

And a run through here:

So if anyone can help with the sleeve drafting, I would be very grateful. I only want bracelet length, no cuffs.

A bit lazy perhaps but I would find a sleeve and corresponding armhole shape from another pattern and alter the armhole on the pattern you are using so that the sleeve fits.

That did cross my mind Plosh, but I thought I was being lazy! I'll have a root among the Burda patterns, maybe one from a shirt pattern would be best.....
I'll think on it.
