Where are the nice tops with sleeves and normal backs?

| I can’t be the only one who doesn’t like my upper arms and wants sleeves. Normal sleeves, without ruffles and weird details. And who doesn’t want a weird cut-out topped with a bow on the back of a top. I want nice, cotton tops with sleeves. With some style. Boden has some good ones but can’t there be more than that? Am I doomed to Lands’ End? I think I’m going to start sewing again. It’s really hard to create a good, small wardrobe. (…..Also, I’m not so down for on Lands’ End. At least it’s real fabric.) Women’s clothing makers need to do better. |

| I don’t know but I absolutely sympathize. Sleeves have been weird for years now. |

Yes! We finally got rid of the horrendous "cold shoulder" look and now the stupid tulip sleeves are everywhere. Regular short sleeves please! |

Time for this classic DCUM thread.

Cold shoulder can die a (quick) death. I do love cap sleeves/flutter sleeves and probably tulip sleeves. I hate having anything touching right on my armpits. Armhole of a tank top with a bit of coverage on the shoulders is perfect. |

Ooh, opposite here - I want my armpits covered. Tulip and flutter sleeves are terribly unflattering on me, as are bows. I look like im trying to wear children's clothes. OP, try Talbots and the depths of the Macy's website. |

| Where on Earth are you shopping? I only am encountering normal, classic shirts. |

| I found some shirts online at Kule last summer with normal sleeves. Not cheap even on sale but since I have t seen them anywhere, I bought a few of them. |

| Yes! I’m short (and older) and the puff sleeves are ridiculous. I’m also so sick of tiered dresses/skirts. When will it end? |

Soon, I hope. These are not flattering on me. |

I agree with you and can't find any. I started weight training 3 months ago and while I haven't lost a single pound (not one!), my arms are toned up enough to manage sleeveless or very short sleeves.
I wish I could offer a faster solution but that's all I got. |
