sleeveless arms Explanation: Is it talking about a lack of cloth/covering? If so, this is the expression we use to refer to bare arms. |

two sleeveless arms Explanation: I presume the cloth could be something related to clothing. A 'manche' is a sleeve. It could be two sleeves without the arm portion. Render it according to your context, I hope this is what you need! Native English speaker |
