How would it work to take the purchased ones and use them as a pattern to cut your own? You could then zig-zag or serge the edges of your tee shirt material together and put what ever sort of attachments that you want to use on your blouses.

Oh, that brings back memories. My aunt used to wear those regularly and they were always washed and hung in her bathroom to dry. I didn't know what they were until someone told me!

I like making light cotton shels (or you could make them out of something slinky, if you like) to go underneath see-through type of fabric. If you made a little cap sleeve on it, you could line the underarm area with your shields, couldn't you? Then the garment could slip over the whole thing. Just a thought.

Have you ever tried to use the natural deoderant crystal? It is clear, you just wet it and put it on or use right out of the shower while you are still wet. My husband and I both have one. My husband is a mailmain and is out in all type of weather and by the end of the day he never smells bad. I started to use it because years ago I had trouble with some sort of blockage under my arms with the glads. These rocks last for a long time too. I got my first one from a vitamin book, some beauty supply places sell them too. Here is a site that sells one similar to mine. http://www.pureandnaturaldeodorant.com/productCat49926.ctlg

Good luck!

I use them as patterns, sure. But I can't stand all the elastic gear all over so I pin or tack them to the four armpit seams. I use thick diaper flannel (birdseye) and something like oilcloth for the backing. Fashion fabric makes a neat cover. They rinse out in the sink easily. I used to use little brass dress pins, but now I simply catch them to the seams with a couple of stitches. I don't wear sleeveless dresses so I can't help you out with that one. Cheers.
