Well, the Lord blessed me with skinny arms and legs, but the belly and love handle area are a whole different story, they are floppy and flappy lol

when you wave goodbye, your arms keep on waving...

Add a couple inches of pretty fabric trim to your sleeves. I live in t shirts so it is not a problem for me.

I was going to say the same thing...when I wave Hello or Goodbye to people, I figure it makes them feel special cuz my arms wave so exhuberantly!

I have wondered for years why t-shirts do not have longer sleeves unless you by men's shirts...I too have the floppy arm thingie...lol...but the rest of me is more than chubby enough to make me well-grounded in a wind storm...lol :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: Naomi

I've given up sleeveless tops, they make me feel self conscious. (yes, floppy arm thingy)

Plus to add insult to injury, I got a bad spider bite this past winter which has left a disgusting looking scar plus dent in one arm.

(Oh, vanity, thy name is woman :mrgreen: )

I agree 100% it is almost impossible to find one with longer sleeves. The fashion industry always buy for the slender young women cause they know that they will buy the most clothing.
