long sleeves make me look all dumpy and broad so I wear 3/4 length when ever I can.

I HATE them!!! If I want a jumper I want bloody sleeves! IT really gets on my nerves when I find a nice fitted v-neck top and then it only has half its sleeves!!

And I know JT is with us on ths one!

I love them, cos I hate things around my wrists, but I need something to cover the flobby bits at the top and my wrinkly, misshapen elbows.....

So there.....

Make my dd wear them too, to avoid cuffs in jam syndrome......

I hate them!!!

I'm annoyed with Isabella Oliver because everything I'd like from there has annoying three quarter sleeves - the wrap cardigan and the wrap dress for instance. I emailed them to complain actually

I like them because they are flattering and you can show off your bracelets!!

beachyhead · 14/03/2005 17:06

Do you have your hands by your side a lot, then?

Emma - oh no!!!

Actually I do have a bright green v-neck and it does have 3/4 length sleeves - I like it cos it shows off a watch and bracelet but I don't like it cos I get cold!!!

Prefer long sleeves and even better I like them fluted at the ends but don't see many of these around.

Don't like them on jumpers as they rather defeat th object of wearing a jumper but I'm quite happy with them on t-shirts.

Polgara2 · 14/03/2005 17:11

No, no, no, and no again!!!!

iota · 14/03/2005 17:12

I like them

nutcracker · 14/03/2005 17:13

Have got a 3/4 sleeve top on now actually

Gwenick · 14/03/2005 17:13

well I'm wearing one at the moment - so does that answer the qusetion

beachyhead · 14/03/2005 17:14

better than 3/4 lenth trousers, I say, which are only good for paddling in the sea IYAM (if you ask me!!!!!!)

nikcola · 14/03/2005 17:14

i like them too so does dd x

katierocket · 14/03/2005 17:15

i like 3/4 length sleaves - flattering IMO

Smurfgirl · 14/03/2005 17:17

I live in 3/4 sleeves. I hate having anything round my wrists, and I don't like to show 3/4 of my arms because they are icky!

Gwenick · 14/03/2005 17:18

oh I agree - can't stand 3/4 length trousers

3/4 sleeves : can be good, depends.....
3/4 trousers : no no no no no

SeaShells · 14/03/2005 17:24

Don't know if I have long arms or something but I hate it when my sleeves come just short of my wrists, think it looks so daft, and it's so annoying so I prefer 3/4 sleeves as at least they are purposefully short!

I actually prefer short sleeves or no sleeves to either long sleeves or 3/4 sleeves though anyway!
