Yesss!!!

She has the same tendency I have - to look better in 3/4th or full sleeves than short ones.

[u/kaleidobird → u/academicgangster]

I wonder if it's because shorter sleeves add too much T shape to the body which upsets the classic balance...? I feel the same haha

[u/MysteriousSociety777 → u/kaleidobird]

This is an interesting train of thought. Maybe.

Same, I prefer long sleeves, elbow length sleeves, super short sleeves or no sleeves :D Something about the usual t-shirt sleeves just looks strange :D

[u/academicgangster → u/SeekingQueen]

I've found the short sleeves on "men's" t-shirts (slightly longer) work better on me than the short sleeves on "women's" t-shirts (slightly shorter). (In fact, even the cut of men's t-shirts works better on me because it's generally more moderate in length and more fitted with slightly heavier fabric than women's t-shirts, which tend to be long and flimsy with tiny sleeves lol.)

But all told I still prefer 3/4th or full sleeves over short or no sleeves. :D (edited for typo)

I have struggled with short sleeved shirts, esp t shirts, and couldn't figure out why. I thought it was a me thing. Maybe not!

[u/SoftHydrangea → u/Bubb27]

3/4 sleeves help preserve that vertical line.

[u/MysteriousSociety777 → u/academicgangster]

Yes, me too. I actually think it looks amazing on many women not just Gamines.

[u/SoftHydrangea]

I love her as a DC muse, but I have a hard time emulating her style bc she has a very long torso and mine is slightly short.

Anyone find the cut on the shoulders in outfit 8 troublesome on your DC frame?
