3/4 sleeves and crop pants look like someone left them in the dryer too long!

I like 3/4 sleeves because it is the only alternative given (other than long sleeve) for me. I have to face the fact I have fat upper arms and a lot of the items have too short sleeves that just make my arms look fatter. Why can't they design tops and dresses with elbow length sleeves. They look more attractive and I would probably buy more items if the sleeves were a little longer. Same thing goes for shorts.....fat legs ....I prefer knee length walking shorts.

As you get older ""short"" anything does not look good on ""hanging"" skin. Thanks

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)

There is nothing at all wrong with 3/4 sleeves - they are not cut-rate in any way and they also do not scream I only shop at QVC. I wear 3/4 length sleeves in nice quality fabrics and cuts and I find them at a number of different stores, including high end department stores and also some through QVC.

Unless I am wearing a tee I prefer 3/4 length sleeves. The only long sleeves I will wear is a coat.

I agree with Pamm! 3/4 sleeve get bunched up in jackets & just kinda hang there in the middle of the arm looking foolish & like they shrunk. Much prefer either long sleeves, short sleeves or elbow length sleeves.

I love 3/4 sleeves. Never in my way. I'm petite as well and long sleeves are usually way too long.

Enough for me, too. Though short arms run on my mother's side of the family and I have somewhat short arms, 3/4 sleeves leave me cold. I only have 2 tops that are 3/4. Purchase most of my full length sleeved tops from LL Bean.

I've always wondered whether this was an actualy "style" created for looks or created to make more $$$. Manufacture 100 tops, add up the fabric saved on the 3/4 sleeves and there's a savings there.
