It could be that the armhole on your dress is pretty big. Does it come right up into your armpit?
You're also slender, which actually makes things more difficult for sleeves. You could consider making the sleeve a bit looser in the bicep to help accomodate for it. Also, if your sleeve is looser, you can get away with a *bit* steeper curve.
Hm. Interesting pic. I would suggest making the plaid dress short sleeved, since it'll eventually be over another dress, but wear it at least over a long sleeved smock. I think the artist was just trying to convey that she was working, without worrying about smock sleeves and such. Who knows, maybe she was wearing a short sleeved smock? Either way, I think if she wasn't actively working, she'd have her arms covered.
