Done! Just in time for the holidays!
I'm so happy with it! It fits! It's so warm and cozy! The red is as amazing as I hoped it would be. 10/10 worth the effort.
I'm especially happy with managing to make actual sleeve heads that matched up with the bodice! I decided to completely cast of the sleeves, and I was afraid that the joining seam would end up bulky and weird, but it looks alright! I had to gather the sleeve head just a tiny bit at the top, but it doesn't show and I think just helps the fit.
The inspiration came from old folk costume from Dalarna in Swedish, where it was common with knitted sleeves on sewn bodices at the end of the 19th century. I love the red color and the bold patterns and decided to just... try something like it.

I made my own pattern in an Google speadsheet and started knitting the sleeves and this summer. The pattern is bulkier because I could not be arsed the knit as tightly as the originals were - not only are they made on tiny needles, they're made using twined knitting, where you use two ends of yarn and twist them together between every stitch. That makes an incredibly tight and dense fabric, aaaand it takes forever and ever. I made a pair of socks like that and I just didn't have the patience for a whole damn sweater. And I anyway wanted to knit the bodice too.

Gonna be busy for a bit with college, commissions, and especially wonderland content (I’m working on more comics if you’re curious). I’m not disappearing, again, I’m just gonna be responding and post less art for just a tiny bit.
But for now, get a not so good angle of a sneak peak for the comic in question

Today is the Winter Solstice! The longest night of the year, and in my family, more important to celebrate than Christmas :]
My solstice gift to me is this really self indulgent festive doodle
I got really lazy with the background so tackiness levels are at critical I am so sorry-
