I've seen some for sale before and I think they were just called "sleeves." I can't remember which vendor was selling them. It seems like it would be really easy and cheap to make... you could just cut off part of a sleeve from a sweater and sew it or whatever at the bottom :)
 
Can't see enough of them in the photos to tell but I wonder if they may be too restrictive. Swaddling should be done loosely enough so it doesn't restrict leg movement. Using a pretty baby blanket might be a better option.

There are items being marketed for baby photography that may not be appropriate for newborns. Please find guidelines from medical or pediatric or child development sources, not just what you may see in some baby photography; some of that may not be consistent with appropriate positioning of newborn infants.

This tells why restricting leg movement should not be done, and shows how to properly swaddle a baby.
