Question about tribal "shrug"

Andaleeb · 09-28-2007, 07:28 PM

Hi all!
I am looking for a "shrug" type top that I've seen other bders wearing, but I can't seem to find one to buy. I think I must be just searching for the wrong thing.

I've seen it a lot as part of tribal costumes. It has a band that goes around the body under the bra and then has full sleeves. The sleeves are only attached under the arms and do not cover any part of the shoulder. Most the ones I've seen have either been of a fishnet or mesh-like material.

Can somebody tell me what exactly this is called? Anyone seen any of these on ebay or anywhere else on ebay?

I'll see if I can find a pic to post if nobody can figure out what I'm talking about...

THANKS!

A-ha! I found a pic...now what the heck is that called?

Hi!
I dont know name for that, but I think it's made from pantyhose

It is just made from pantyhose. The feet are cut off and the crotch is cut out--that is where your head goes through.

Cut the hole very small. It will stretch and tear much larger.

Well, how clever is that!?! Do you suppose a good pair of altered support hose will lend some assistance to my 52 year old upper arms?

There's nothing much new under the sun - but what a great idea!!

I think it'll definitely hold my flabby wings in!
