seedes

Seedesse are a class of formal sleeve styles that originated in the late 18th century in Europe. The term "seede" is believed to have come from the French word "seeder," meaning "to sew" or "to embroider."

During the Regency period, seedese became a fashionable sleeve style among the upper class, particularly among women. They were characterized by tight, close-fitting sleeves that were often decorated with embroidery, quilting, or other forms of needlework. The sleeves were typically made from lightweight fabrics, such as silk or cotton, and were designed to accentuate the arm.

Seedese were worn by both men and women, but they were more commonly associated with women's fashion. They were considered a symbol of wealth and status, as the intricate embroidery and other forms of decoration required a great deal of time and skill to produce. The style was also associated with the aristocracy, as it was often worn by royalty and other high-society individuals.

By the mid-19th century, seedese had largely fallen out of fashion, as the introduction of more practical and comfortable sleeve styles, such as the bell sleeve, made them seem old-fashioned. However, they continued to be worn in some formal and ceremonial contexts, such as in opera performances and other high-society events. Today, seedese are occasionally referenced in historical fashion contexts and are considered an interesting and exotic relic of the past.

It is worth noting that the term "seedese" is sometimes misspelled or confused with other fashion terms, but the correct spelling is "seedese" or, alternatively, "sedate," which refers to a similar sleeve style from the 19th century.
