I looked into the sleeves a few years ago and usually the more fabric, the richer the person wearing it. So the long sleeves were often associated with nobility. The VMS sleeves are particularly important, because they have dagged edges (extra lace and embellishments were also associated with wealth and the upper classes, lace was handmade and very expensive). Fancy sleeves with scalloped or laced edges were less often drawn in zodiac imagery (the laces on the boots are also not common in zodiac imagery).
