I don't personally think it's overkill @b15erk . If it's something you like then it will look great because you'll feel happy wearing it.

Decision made!  Thank you all for helping me to make it.  :)

I found a blogpost online, and she said that the cuffs tended to bend outwards, so for me, that will mean a couple of tacks to keep it in place. I couldn't be doing with floppy cuffs...

What is your main fabric?   The cuff is designed to stick out but should be ok with a crisp fabric    Some silk organza would work for interfacing.

I have interfaced it @Ohsewsimple , but it's linen/linen-mix, so very floppy.  A couple of tacking stitches should hold it in place.  The cuff meets at the long edge at cf sleeve, and I could see that this might happen, as the fabric of the cuff - being double, and interfaced, is heavier than the sleeve.

Ahh.  Couldn’t remember what fabric you were using. If it works, go with it.  I’m all for that!   :)
