M&s sleeves

Doing a bit of a straw poll. I got a new job last year and as I was a uniform person before I bought some office blouses from m&s . Thought they were a bit short in the arm but kept them as I wastnt that bothered as I wore them mostly with light jackets. So this year bought a casual blouse. Really like it... but same problem. Anyone else notice this ? Is this a thing? cost cutting on material ? or their manufacturers making them for shorter people? Dont have this problem with other clothes.

I find a depressing trend for bracelet length sleeves. I’ve got long arms and they do my head in.

I’m sure it’s for cost saving.

I really like bracelet length sleeves. I don’t have keep pushing them up.

I've noticed the same with M&S. I'm tall with long arms and can't be doing with sleeves that aren't long enough.

Interested in this thread?

Sleeves should be long or short.

Anything in between is just faff.

I like a three quarter length sleeve, I tend to push them up anyway, but not the ones that end at my watch strap. They're just annoying.

I've bought stuff before in m&s and never had this issue, just the last couple of years it seems to be a thing. I hate 3/4 length sleeves but if a blouse is supposed to be wrist length, surely it should reach that far. So irritating. I'm only talking about another inch or so.
