My arms are very short and I need the 3/4 sleeves. Now if you have gorilla arms I am happy for you. For years I had to wear either the short sleeves or hem the long sleeves.

I love them, buying all I can before they're not around anymore. They come and go. I suppose they're not as practical in cold climates. They have the vintage feel of the bracelet sleeves of the late 50's, early 60's.

I love 3/4 sleeves! I'm 5'2", and even if I buy long sleeves in petite sizes, they're still too long for me, and I always pull them up if they're knits. When 3/4 sleeves first came out about 10 years or so ago, I thought they looked odd on me, but I got used to them quickly and now can't live without them. I hope 3/4 sleeves are always in style so we petite people will have a choice.

I am 5'2"" also and I HATE 3/4 length sleeves....they seem to flare out and look like kimono sleeves on me and hit me wrong on the arm. I want them short or long!

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE ¾ sleeves. When it comes to Q items, for the most part I only order 'AS IS' and Lunchtime Specials. On occasion, clearance items.

While I may be 5'5", I have very short arms (runs in my family; for DH, always had to buy 36" sleeves for the gorilla).

When I buy a ¾ sleeve blouse, in normal posture, the sleeves come down to the crease at the wrist, and will cover my watches and bracelets. On items with a cuff, I move the buttons over about 1½"; otherwise, the cuff is too big around.

I try to buy jackets with sleeves designed with a full leather or fur lining at the cuff, so I can roll em up.

About the only place I've seen ¾ sleeves is on Q. There are probably a lot more, but I rarely watch TV, and almost never watch Q.

Bungo - I'm with you - I need the 3/4 length sleeves too - now if they would just do petite sizes - maybe it would not be necessary - but they won't - why? I don't know- guess they think we are ""generic 1 height/size women"" !!

I prefer short sleeves myself, but I'm okay with some 3/4 length. Variety is desirable.

3/4 sleeves are okay sometimes but the Q has way too many tops with 3/4 sleeves and many are not true 3/4 sleeves but almost elbow length ........ I usually preferring sleeves which can be pushed or rolled up or shortened.......3/4 length cannot be lengthen. Please have more long sleeve and make all 3/4 length true 3/4 length. I have had to return many 3/4 length because the length was too short. P.S. I am 5 ft 3 in tall and have short to regular length arms.

I like 3/4 sleeves and wear them year round depending on the weather. If it's really cold or really hot, I won't. I will agree though that the q has gone overboard with them. It used to be tops with hoods.

I love 3/4 sleeves....I wear them through 3 seasons. And remember, some people are lucky enough to be able to wear them year around.

I like the 3/4 sleeves but need long-sleeves also...why QVC sells 3/4 sleeves almost exclusively is a mystery to me...must be cheaper; only reason I can think of.

I love, love 3/4 sleeves! That's one of the reasons I started buying clothes at QVC.

I don't wear anything but 3/4 length sleeves and like a few others who have commented, I wear them all year. I do a lot of knitting, fiber arts, and other crafts and I can't stand to have long sleeves because they get in the way. Seems they get in the way no matter what I'm doing cooking cleaning etc and I have to keep pushing them up - just a nuisance.

I prefer 3/4 length sleeves. I like to wear bracelets and with long sleeves you can't see them and long sleeves sometimes get caught on them.

I love them!..... I have a lot of watches and bracelets to show off.

YES, THANK YOU!!! ENOUGH OF THE 3/4 LENGTH SLEEVES!!! THEY EVEN PUT THEM ON JACKETS & MOST WINTER APPAREL. IT'S ABSURD. ...I WANT LONG SLEEVES TOO. FOR SOMEONE WHO WANTS OR NEEDS A SHORTER LENGTH SLEEVE, THEY CAN ALWAYS PUSH THEM UP OR CUFF THEM, SHORT OF TAILORING THEM. I PERSONALLY HAVE SHORT ARMS BUT EVEN I WOULD LIKE MORE LONG SLEEVED ITEMS. I GET THAT QVC OFFERS MOST STUFF WITH 3/4 SLEEVES TO CUT DOWN ON RETURNS BUT TO ME HAVING A WARDROBE OF ONLY 3/4 SLEEVES LOOKS SILLY & INAPPROPRIATE. IT SCREAMS 'CUT-RATE' & ALSO SCREAMS "I ONLY SHOP AT QVC." (AND NOT IN A GOOD WAY)

Im getting older, and unfortunaltely my arms no longer look good in short sleeves, so 3/4 sleeves sort of pushed up, is about all this gal can handle.

I agree. I hate 3/4 length sleeves. I want sleeves that go to my wrists. It's hard to find them though since I am tall and have long arms but it's the same with pants. Tall women can't get truly long inseams or long sleeves on QVC. The majority of the clothing is made for short older women.
