The issue is that almost all the dresses I'm seeing are sleeveless, and since I'm not exactly thrilled with my arms, I don't really want to show them off completely. Maybe some sort of shrug or half-sleeve thing? I've got a few extra pounds on me (I'm about 5'10" and 158 lbs), though that doesn't really bother me. I just really don't want to embarrass myself.
Please, if you guys have any photos, send them my way.
Thanks, thanks, thanks so much... seriously.🙏
Hey, well, honestly, your height-to-weight ratio doesn't sound bad at all, so there's really no need to feel like you have to hide your arms... but, I suppose, if you aren't feeling comfortable, maybe you could have something custom-made from some muslin? Something like a bolero with 3/4 sleeves, but not a traditional bolero, obviously. More like these elegant sleeves that connect across the back—they usually sell those made from jersey material. I think they would look lovely in muslin, almost like a wide shawl with sleeves attached. They wouldn't sit right on the shoulders, so you could even wear them to church, and you won't get too hot because muslin is thin and breathable... I hope I managed to explain what I mean, I guess. If I can find a picture somewhere, I'll post it...🙂))
