I Want Elastic-Sleeves That Go to the Armpit?!!

Smedina146 · 08-11-2008, 04:40 AM

Im havin a heck-of-a-time finding the awesome sleeves (some people are calling gauntletts?) that have elastic and go right up to the armpit. Many of the gloves and gauntletts I have seen stop at forearm. Well my big wobbly bat wings just say NO!

** I should cover them wiggle waggles for everyone's sake, TRUST ME!!*

I have seen them made with lace, sheer, velvet, silk, you name it! Not to mention that some have a fitted (not tight! EEK!*

)* upper arm, then flare out to flute/bell cuffs... so flattering on all women, I think. So after pouring over tons of sites, emailing a quad-zillion more, all the responses have been, no those aren't sold seperately--sew them yourself. ME SEW!??* LMAO!!* tee hee...* please, my fellow shimmy shakers, help this little newbie out? I've only had 3classes and Im hooked on this. I look forward to all of your lively suggestions!

Thanks from LAKEWOOD, WASHINGTON (state)

Well, they are pretty easy to make, here is a no-sew suggestion. Go shopping and find some pretty inexpensive knee high trouser socks or no run nylons. Cut the toe and heel off, slip on your arm, voila! a gauntlet. at holiday time you can usually find lace and glitter stockings that work pretty well.

Erica at See-Fit Body Stockings - Dare to be Bare! has just made my friend and I some.

thanks for your replies... I've heard about the nylons, but those are still too tight and offer not alot of that dramatic sexy, exotic look that all those uber-cool outfits have.* (sniffle sniffle)*

<br>I may just have to invest in having them made if I go the distance in this FABULOUS dance.<br>THANKS AGAIN YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!! HAPPY DANCING!!

Thanks for the web site.

..Most stop short of my waggly bat wings..it seems it's the bane of my existence in this costume world!

... There was one pair that did go up to the armpit, made of velour/velvet. However, it seems they may be able to do some adjustment with fabric and length.

Of all the thousands of sites I'd seen, this one eluded me. So let me say, YOU ROCK! ...

....Thanks for the starter....
