leg-of-mutton sleeve
A sleeve that is cut with a very full top that is gathered or pleated into the armhole, then tapers gradually to fit closely at the wrist. This style tends to be popular when revivals of the styles of the 1890s are fashionable. It is also sometimes called by the French name for a leg of lamb, a gigot sleeve.

Measure the arm. Allowing for seams you will make the top part of the sleeve a good 4 times larger than the bottom. It's like any other sleeve but you have to baste in the large amount of top fabric so it lays correctly. Usually the ruffling effect is to run to parallel sets of loose ruffling type stitches between the top third of the sleeve then draw the fabric as you would ruffle something - until the sleeve fits the armhole. Baste the sleeve to the dress and see how it looks - adjust or sew permanent stitches and trim the seams.
Yes, it is also called "Gigot" after the lamb in French.

I feel that skirts tend to either look kind of trashy or cheap if they are tight and short, or they are really just the ordinary jean skirts that are not necessarily sexy.

Try maxi skirts with the medial side slits those can look great on you! No matter whether you have long legs or not just strut that skirt

I strongly suggest you think again. Chop it up and use it in a stew, making outfits for it will help nobody when its dinner time and all thats available is a raw leg of lamb in a shirt
