I like these - but I`m not comfortable going sleeveless these days.  In fact there doesn`t seem to be anything for those of us past the first flush of youth

@sewingj: I quite like



especially view D, but like you I don't go sleeveless.

@Francesca: the peplum top is great for those who don't have a backside as big as all outdoors. 0_0

7782 is the only one I'd consider, but it's not that special

As far as M7782 is concerned, I agree with UR. I also find anything tunic length makes my legs look even shorter than they already are - and I really don't like that bit dangling down at the back!

I really don't understand the clothes for animals thing.  Animals have evolved not to need clothing.

Dull.  But then I always prefer the autumn/winter offerings.  Too many that are not only sleeveless [which I will sometimes go for, even though I suffer from a bloody annoying plague of pimples all down one arm] but they are very very bra-unfriendly.  And I definitely don't go without a bra anymore.  Very low on the armholes, even though some of the straps are OK.
Like most of us, bored to death with cold shoulder styles.  I love some of the funky sleeves that are around, but they add too much width to shortarse topheavy me!
And I'm right with UR on the clothes for pets.  Bandanas?  As bad as bloody bunting! :fish: :fish: :fish:

Hmm, I could see those sleeves dipping in my soup @Manuela;)

I really like M7774 view D too - but for my daughter rather than me (yep, it's the sleeveless thing).

I also like the kimono but think I'd constantly be getting the sleeves caught on door handles, in any case I've already bought the one in the new Jalie collection.
Hopefully back more regularly! Ballroom sewing may be permanently paused but bag making is the current focus.
