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.
