Enhance your Wardrobe

It’s a Sleevolution

Sleeve-ons are the newest must-

have addition to any woman’s

wardrobe. Worn under or over

sleeveless garments, they add short,

three-quarter or long sleeves to an outfit.

The Brisbane born company was formed

when founder, Wendy Maniatis had an

all too familiar dressing dilemma as the

changing weather posed a problem for

the outfit she had in mind.

“I work long hours and the weather

can be totally different as the day goes

on,” Wendy said. “I wanted to wear my

favourite sleeveless dress because I

knew it would be warm enough later and

found myself wishing I could just put on

some temporary sleeves!”

With this, Wendy didn’t just stick it out

until mid morning like most of us are

guilty of, but decided to take action.

“I went to the internet to look for such a

thing, but to my utter surprise no such

product existed,” she continued. “With

that, I sat down at my sewing machine,

cut a pattern and made sleeves to help

transform my sleeveless dress into a

short-sleeved dress.”

“In the days following, I made sleeves in

a variety of colours, prints and lengths

to suit the sleeveless garments in my

wardrobe and then decided that every

woman should have the same luxury.”

Making any sleeveless item of clothing

suitable for every season, Sleeve-ons can

be worn under your garment and matched

to the colour so it blends to look like sleeves,

or coordinated with a pattern giving a bolder

look. Alternatively, they can be worn over the

outfit as a shrug creating a different look once

again.

In the coming months, Wendy is working

on additional styles with embellishments

including pearls, cuffs, buttons, binding,

ruching, rhinestones, fur, sparkles and

sequins.
