Sleeve-ons are a simply designed item of clothing that can be worn under or over any sleeveless garment to give you short, three-quarter or long sleeves.

Who are you?

The Founder of Sleeve-ons, Wendy Maniatis, is a mum, a wife, the co-owner of a business in the food industry with her husband, and a lover of beautiful fabrics and fashion. Wendy lives in Brisbane, Australia, and found an outlet for her passion by making Sleeve-ons, as it was the missing (and much needed!) garment in her wardrobe, and in women’s wardrobes everywhere!

What are the benefits of Sleeve-ons?

Sleeve-ons help to transform sleeveless garments into versatile items of clothing with short, three-quarter or long sleeves that can be worn in every season of the year.

They can be worn under any sleeveless garment, giving you sleeves, or they can be worn over any sleeveless garment like a shrug for a different look. Sleeve-ons are available in a range of different sleeve lengths, colours, patterns and styles, suitable for daywear, evening wear and special occasions. Sleeve-ons are compact and portable, packaged in a small organza bag, so they can be carried in a handbag or on your wrist, or tied onto a bag strap or belt.

Since they are also non-crush, easy care and lightweight, they are excellent for travelling, making you prepared for a variety of climates. Sleeve-ons cover your upper arms, making you feel more comfortable in sleeveless garments if you don’t like your arms exposed. Sleeve-ons help refresh your regularly worn corporate outfits, work clothes or uniforms. They give a sleeveless dress, gown or top an exclusive look, so you will never be seen wearing the same outfit as someone else.

Sleeve-ons make a great gift, and are Australian made to very high quality standards at an affordable price.

Do you have a range of Sleeve-ons that are exclusive to boutiques?

Yes. We have a range of non-stretch Sleeve-ons that are only sold exclusively through boutiques. As they are made of non-stretch fabric, it is best if they are sold through boutiques so customers can try them on for size. Only stretch fabric Sleeve-ons are available online.
