For tops, nightgowns, and dresses, what type of sleeves do you wear most often?
By type, that can mean various things, such as:
Sleeveless, cold shoulder, long sleeves, short sleeves, 3/4 sleeves,
Button up, enabling a longer sleeve to be moved upwards and buttoned for it to become shorter, puffy sleeves where the sleeve meets the shoulder, and so on.

I don't wear sleveless tops very often, though I do sometimes.
I have a lovely sleveless dress that doesn't make me look fat and doesn't make my shoulders look meaty. But I usually wear a cardigan over it. And I have a sleeveless T-shirt that is just the thing on scorching hot days.
Usually, I'll wear anything else. Long sleeves, 3/4 length, short sleeves, or cap sleeves.

Considering Lori's past occupation of driving tanks, perhaps she favors tank tops?

😄 I prefer to keep my shoulders covered, so short sleeves.
If I am out in the creek, then I wear a very lightweight long-sleeve t-shirt. The purpose is to keep my arms covered to protect them from the sun. Because I am working in the water, the sleeves do not get uncomfortably hot.
I have a smock that is sleeveless and two dresses with spaghetti straps, but I don't wear them out. I don't have the legs for dresses. I have only recently gotten to being ok wearing shorts. Progress!

Short sleeve or sleeveless tee shirts for work. I have a long sleeve blouse and a couple pullover tops. I like my nightgowns short with short sleeves, otherwise they are too hot. I have a dressier marble colored V neck top I like to wear when I go to the city. My tops for going to the city tend to run more girly. I do prefer a short sleeve type over long though.

For nightgowns that are designed to keep me warm, I prefer long sleeves.

Usually short sleeves or sleeveless but I do have the odd long sleeve. If wearing a jumper or long sleeve top I opt for strappy camisole tops underneath. For night wear, on the odd occasion when I wear it, I go for spaghetti strap camisoles or a chemise

A girl like me can get chilly, so I go for the longer sleeves for the nightgowns.

I am not confident enough in my chest and shoulder area to be comfortable with anything else than short sleeves and crew necks. As for the neckline I have to deal with a lower neckline than I'm really comfortable with but most of my dresses are short sleeves or just enough to cover the shoulder.
My breast growth is so little I am probably just over the limit for being able to walk around topless

Usually short sleeves, but in the middle of winter,
long sleeves are the right choice.

I wear just panties. My wife goes from just panties to PJs. For a long time it was just nothing but with heat and humidity I need a little absorption

In cooler weather, heavier knit long sleeve or 3/4 sleeve pull over tops, or Henley style long sleeve tops. In the warmer months, mostly cap sleeve tops. Bare shoulders are not really appropriate in the office, especially for a guy.
Nightgowns, short or long, are almost all spaghetti straps. Thick fully down comforter's are for keeping warm in the winter. A good down comforter is like sleeping under a light soft warm cloud.

Hi Everyone
Anything that is not long sleeve. The reason being is that long sleeves are too hot for me to wear. If I was living in cold climate (think Alaska) I might reconsider.
Even in Sydney where I once worked I wore short sleeves. Yet when I travelled to work I had a jacket that of course was long sleeved. This was an exception but not the rule.
Ah memories, I love cardigans or similar and of course they have long sleeves!
Best Wishes Always
