  "Amen to that! I find I am always pushing or turning up longer sleeves to a length suitable for working. I guess it's a holdover from my farm girl childhood."

  "I love these! If they are rather fitted, I prefer 3/4 sleeves myself, but if they are flow or puffy, I adore 1/2 sleeves."

  "Sweet mama! The SHOES! The ones with the green floral dress! *mwua* (kisses fingers in appreciation).
  
  Also, also a massive fan here of 1/2 and 3/4 length sleeves. Very flattering to the upper arm.
  
  (And is the green dress from any recent purchases...? Help a follower out with a link... pls... ^_^ )"

  "The black with the green roses and the crazy shoes? I've had that one a while now, that picture is from 2012. The dress is a vintage early 1960s I. Magnin that I think I purchased on Height Street from a vintage shop here in San Francisco 2011 or 2010 maybe? Here's a post about it from last year: http://retrorack.blogspot.com/2014/11/green-rose-print-1960s-evening-dress-in.html And here are a few from 2012: http://retrorack.blogspot.com/2012/10/nciba-in-black-green.html and http://retrorack.blogspot.com/2012/07/comic-con-outfits-night-two.html"

  "I wonder if the sleeve length is so flattering because most people's bodies are proportioned to have the elbow start around the waist, so a sleeve ending there draws attention to the waist, especially when one's clothing is also fitted there. At any rate, it looks great on all of these outfits! (I wear long sleeves in winter because I live in a place where the air hurts any exposed skin, but my preferred style is 3/4. I hate having things about my wrists.)"

  "I really like the Jacques Fath dress. But feel I'm more the Callot Soeurs or Worth type. "
