Great New Wardrobe Saver w/pics
My cross addiction - definitely shopping. I'm getting it under control, but I'm obsessed! It's so fun to have a new wardrobe, or be able to re-work my old wardrobe.
This is my new summer favorite: 1/2 T's or "Sleevies". The outfit shown is actually two pieces I threw together. It's a sleeveless dress with a Sleevie. They are mesh or lace sleeves (the one shown here goes on like a bra and snaps in front with a V-neck)... any-who, the bat-skin on my arms looks like I'm a 90-year old woman, so I can't really wear my sleeveless dresses to work anymore. These new sleeve thingies have saved my summer wardrobe - they work with tank tops, spaghetti straps, sleeveless dress etc.
I have one in every color, and got them all online. (And they keep me warm when my co-worker cranks the A/C to the Arctic Setting.)
Such a neat idea!
I got the one shown here at Pyramid Collection - they have several types: https://www.pyramidcollection.com/itemdy00.aspx?T1=PA6179+BK +1X
I got two from Harriet Carter: http://www.harrietcarter.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/product.de tail/categoryID/DA801DD8-73E0-49C5-B7A2-B9E03301F494/product ID/F225E3B8-F555-4561-8E59-8386AB742352
And I got a pretty nude/lace one from Monroe & Main: http://www.monroeandmain.com/Clothing/Tops/Shirts-and-Blouse s/Sheer-Sleeves-Top.pro?omSource=SLI&
(Hope it's okay to list the links here?)
Happy shopping!
You look AMAZING! Where did you order those from? How do the sizes run? Right now I am 175 lbs and wear a 40 D bra.

Hey, P-Girl...
See above for links to the 3 different online stores I got mine from. I'm between a 38D & 38DD, and all three places ran differently. The first one I bought was from Monroe & Main. I followed the sizing chart and got a Lg. It was good quality and fit perfectly.
The next two I got were from Harriet Carter (1 black, 1 white). Followed the sizing chart and got a Medium this time. It was WAY too small, and the quality not so hot. (less expensive, though.) So I sent them back and got an X-large. I kept them, but I'm tall and thought they fit well in the arms and shoulders, they're still a bit short and barely cover my boobs.
The best one (and the most expensive) is the one in the picture from Pyramid Collection. Great quality - I got a large and it's PERFECT. It's also reversible - one side is V-neck, the other is a scoop neckline. This one has a bra-like snap-on clasp, the others are just pull-overs.
I hope that helps!
Thanks for responding! I ended up ordering one from Amazon because I get free shipping with Prime. I ordered this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0127WDUDM/ref=oh_aui_deta ilpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I got a large thinking if it's too small right now it will fit at some point. It's a half-sleeve which is what I was looking for because I want to wear it under blouses and t-shirts that have those "extra short" sleeves that I hate so much.

The ones you purchased from Pyramid Collection are the Sleevey Wonders.... I ordered two of the Jersey Sleevey Wonders 1/2 sleeve --- just as a FYI if you order these thru Amazon you can save a few bucks.. vs $49 each - one was $42 the other $44. Can't wait to get mine as I love wearing sleeveless - and unable to do so at my new job -- and with my 50 pound weight loss so far - and development of bat wings. Hoping after getting these - my sister in law who is an incredible seamstress can make some for me!!
