Re gauntlets: I have fairly good upper arm tone for a 42 year old with giant boobs who doesn't lift weights, which means there is a degree of chicken wing. I find if things are worn right on the bicep, they dig in and make the fattiness look worse (and I have very pointy elbows, as the one performance pic in my gallery will show). I actually quite suit the elbow-down look, and also the strange short gauntlet that runs between bicep and forearm that seems to be so popular at the moment. Long sleeves look good but they need to hit right under the armpit.
A dancer I know who is, ahem, older (but amazingly youthful and pretty) once turned up to a show wearing what appeared to be sparkly bands at the top and wrist of each arm, but she had cunningly created "sleeves" from sheer fleshtoned control pantyhose to reduce her perceived wobbles. They looked really good, actually.
