Ooh, lovely! Such a good fit, and it really suits you.
Re: the old sleeve needing pleats - I've noticed in patterning that most of us tend to fit later 18th century sleeves so they need more/bigger pleats at the top, where the originals have much smaller ones. They fit their sleeves with the arm raised somewhat, rather than down.
