Adding arm coverage without a cardi

CMOTDibbler · 01/03/2013 11:01

Having looked at the Mary Portas armery, the M&S arm control, and wearing long sleeved t shirts under stuff for ages, I bought a Wingz sleeve thing last week, and it is brilliant - in the full length tall, it comes right down past my wrist, and fits well. No bulk, covers armpits, and as its bra strap level, doesn't interfere if you have a shaped back of dress/top.

Makes a difference for me as I have a lot of scars on one arm that also has to be kept warmer, and I don't really like cardis.

Navy apparently coming soon. I love the purple chiffon, but they aren't long enough for me

Ooh I don't like the frilly ones or the chiffon ones but I like the day ones. I too have a great big scar on one arm (skin graft) and some days I feel less confident than others.

Thats it Yourhand: I don't mind people seeing my scars - and my hand doesn't look normal anyway - but I don't always want to talk about it or for it to be the first thing people notice.

These are great. I have been looking for something for a dress I have that it sleeveless, and doesn't look good with a cardigan. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for this recommendation!

I'm going to get some and try them out. I have to wear full length sleeves at all times, which is really inconvenient and annoying. It's especially horrible in hot weather.

Just got round to wearing the black lace (under a dress with 3/4 sleeves), and they actually have enough coverage that I'd wear with a sleeveless dress confidently
