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!

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!!
