Have you seen the state of our nations upper arms? We need sleeves, I need sleeves and the slabs of mottled corn beef arms I am subjected too need sleeves.

i agree the tops are so wide across the neck that you end up having to wear a vest underneath to preserve modesty and most of them only seem to go with trousers.

That's their little game isn't it, leave gaps so so we're forced to buy extra modesty protecting garments.

So, we need a campaign. Something like 'let gimmers be gimmers' or summat.

Agreed wholeheartedly! Been trying to buy some work tops to go with trousers and they are all sheer chiffron and sleeveless. This is the uk with shit summers, we need something a bit more substantial please! Get on it Mary portas!

The other day, Lorraine Kelly (sorry) was doing the 'High Street Fashion Awards' on her programme and said to the representatives from the companies that it would be nice of them if they could make more dresses and tops with sleeves.

I have overcome the short top length problem by buying tops in the tall ranges, when I ca get them despite being only 5ft 4!
