The right to bare arms!

I'm sure my mother would be appalled if she could see me in the summer. Vest tops and sleeveless dresses! Admittedly her arms were fatter than mine, but they still looked fat wrapped up in long sleeves. On the other hand I wouldn't expect anyone to put up with the sight of my knees and thighs, so those are always decently shrouded in long skirts or linen trousers.

And I hate elbows,anyone's elbows.

What fabulous hot weather? I'm wrapped up in my warmest pashmina( the one from darkest Peru) I'm in chilly old Durham. It was warmer yesterday but I've turned the leccy blanket on everyday.

Yes indeed, why give a fig, especially in this fabulous hot weather

I've lived in a loose cotton dress with shoe string straps the last few days I've had this dress over 30 years and it always gets worn in a heatwave. I love it as I can rinse it out and it's dry by the morning . I also change if I'm leaving the house

Yes I've been in loose shorts and top all day, extremely comfortable. Mind you just come back from a walk and did change before I went into cropped trousers, but a sleeveless too. It is boiling!! Too hot for sleeves.

I wear what I want and if people do not like it, tough. If you saw me dressed now you would put me forward for "slut of the year award". I am cool, comfortable and not bothering anybody.

Personally I hate seeing my bare arms - I look so old!!! Whereas I feel 20 years younger..

I haven't actually got bingo wings, but my arms are so skinny I suppose some may find them offensive...Hard luck!

I don't give a fig either. These are what older women's arms look like, live with it!

There does indeed seem to be an assumption that as one grows old, upper arms should be covered. I don't give a fig, and go sleeveless as, when and where I feel like it.
It's just nonsense.

Don't iron in the nude though - steam could be a problem!
