These long sleeves are gathered at intervals to make a series of puffs. Called Mameluke sleeves, they became fashionable around 1808. Originally Mamluks were the bodyguards of a sultan. After Napoleons campaign through Egypt and Palestine (1798-1801), Arabian influences became increasingly visible in fashion. The inset is made of needlepoint lace, which was produced in Carrickmacross, Ireland, from 1820.
