sleeves – lining? or bias bound seams?

One more puppet show question: I'm sewing a dress out of Liberty and have made a full lining is a soft cotton voile. I made the front and back skirt lining by copying the construction of the bodice lining - I sewed it to the dress at the back placket and folded. Now I'm getting ready to set the sleeves. I had planned to simply bind the amyscye seams with bias from the voile, but there are also seams where the sleeve cuffs join. So, would it be simpler and create less bulk to fully line the sleeve as well? Then I could hand stitch the sleeve lining to the cuff to cover those seams? This is a 12month size, so the sleeves are reasonably tiny.


It's going to be so very lovely, though! I'm excited to finish it. Both boys are supposed to get matching ties and I've bought them pink dress shirts. How sweet is that?
