Pelerines
Here you see a pelerine (a woman's short cape sometimes
with points or tippets in front). There are many styles
and variations but all cover the very wide shoulders of
the dress and could aid in modesty. As the size of the
gigot sleeve grew the pelerine likewise became wider to
cover the increasing shoulder line. This,
coincidentally, made the waist of the 1830s seem smaller
in comparison.
The pelerine below is shown in white cotton organdy and
is heavily starched. Pelerines could also be made in
patterned cotton fabrics to match the gown.

Ruffled Cuffs
The cuffs shown are separate from the dress so that one
may work in the dress, and add the cuff for more formal
occasions. The frill can be made of net, lace, or
cotton organdy (shown below). These are a quick and
simple way to dress up an otherwise plain dress. (Note:
see picture above for cuffs as well as pelerine).

Tidy Cuffs
Though many people have seen me in these have asked "Are
those vambraces you are wearing?" I can say with confidence
"nay,. they are tidy cuffs". They are basically little
aprons for your arms. They are worn so that you do not
damage the lower part of your dress while you are working (such
as in the kitchen, drawing, working with inks, etc.).
