Take another look, Jen. I think there are sleeves, as you say, but the slit under the arm is only enough for the arm itself. The only long slit is in the center front.

German interpretation assistance So I have this friend who said "if you make it for me I will wear it" and I want to make this outer garment: http://diglit.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/diglit/cpg848/0141?sid=8d563ad12e918dcb1c d18fb352e23e86 I am having a disagreement with my other half about how to interpret it, though. It's the only one in the manuscript, I just doublechecked, so nothing to compare it with. Anyway and anyhow, what *I* read is that it has sleeves attached at the shoulder but then the body is slit up all the way to the armpit on the sides, or at least the left side. Then the sleeve seam is on the bottom, and this seam is also slit to allow the arm to come out. And it has buttons up the front. Thoughts, anyone?
