In reply to Dusty. I prefer not to go sleeveless. I like the bell, flutter sleeve, dolman sleeve and the cold shoulder great options or just a wide short sleeve. A 3/4 sleeve is okay if it’s not too tight. I also wear a sheer or light topper over a camisole.

I used to sew sleeves on sleeveless tops or dresses. I have forgotten how. I guess I just need a pattern with sleeves I like and fabric.

Sleevy wonders…who knew they even existed!! I will have to check those out! My problem is not my arm shape but the color…for some reason the backs of my arms have always been a mottled red which is rather unattractive, I think. In summer when I’m more tan it’s not as noticeable but it bothers me at other times. Thanks for these great tips. I’m enjoying checking out your website. I’ll be forty this year so I figured now’s a great time to start figuring out my style. 😀

In reply to Sandy Winter. Everything is acceptable so long as you wear it with confidence :)

What about upper arm cuffs (jewelry). Is that acceptable when you are older?

I want to buy a cotton dress, Midi, but it has cap sleeves, Could I take the sleeves off and wear another sleeve, perhaps edging it with fab. from the cap sleeves? I’m only interested in covering the top part of the arm.

In reply to marilyn. The only place that I have found t-shirts that are a sturdier cotton that doesn't cling to all my lumps and bumps and have longer sleeves is Lands End. I live in those during the summer because the days of going sleeveless are in the past.

These are some great suggestions. I’m going to be 41 this year and can still get away with wearing tanktops and going sleeveless, but I do like mixing things up a little bit.

My New Arms is the real solution!
This is an ingenious arm enhancement solution for women constantly in search of ways to conceal, or disguise un-toned arms without anyone realizing it!
Appropriately named, “My New Arms®” gives women the confidence to wear sleeveless garments once again. Sheer sleeves are attached to a stretch bra extending gracefully from the shoulder down to the wrist with an elastic finish to hold in place giving the illusion of natural arms. It’s highly versatile and it can be worn over a favorite bra, or under almost any garment. The jiggle is gone and the crepey-ness no longer visible.

Hi, I am a 61 year old female who mostly wears jeans and t shirts. i have a heck of a time finding t shirts that cover the upper flabby batwing on my arms. not 3 quarter length as that is too hot in the summer, just a true halfway between the elbow and shoulder. I resort to buying mens t shirts to get this length bur sacrifice a cute t shirt. I do believe there is a market for this. I have asked many a sales person why they do not carry t shirts for women older or not who want to cover their upper arms. They all say write the manufacture because we want them too and so do most older or overweight women!

I haven’t really given this much thought. I guess it’s something I need to think about. Usually I prefer to wear sleeveless tops in the summer. It feels soooo summery. However, indoors it’s always freezing, so I need a sweater, jacket or shawl. Outdoors I prefer just a top. I do have a lot of nice, flowy tops with sleeves which I like but these ones cannot be worn with a sweater or jacket, only a shawl.
