I've tried the Brustfleck as a simple bust-cover. It doesn't work well. But if you wrap it around yourself and then pin the gown to it, it keeps the sleeves on your shoulders. And interestingly, I get that "bend" that you see in period portraits that makes it look like the sleeves are about to fall off but never do.
