Details of the construction of the arm of my reconstruction of a traditional hand sewn Norfolk workers smock. This shows the square gusset under the arm that gives a good range of movement to the arm. The full arm is gathered in at the wrist so it does not get in the way while working. These practical elements have been developed into decorative features.
