How the hell do I cover up my butchers arms?

Hi,
I've got a wedding to go to on saturday and the dress I'm wearing is a little like this not quite as tight though

I am a size 14 and have been blessed cursed with very fat and flabby upper arms. What should I cover up my rather large arms with during the service until I've had enough to drink not to care anymore

I've not got much money at all to spend but could manage £15-20 I suppose...
What i am struggling with is what material would go well with a lace dress?
Help please!!
TIA

There are some lovely faux fur stoles/jackets which would look great with lace.

The dress is lovely nothing to add in ideas for you, I'm in the same boat x

what about a faux fur capelet/ I have one on ebay at the mo and there are plenty of them on there, maybe worth a look. The one I'm selling I bought to go with a dress I got for a January wedding and in the end wore something else.

Fab, thanks. Do you think fur would look okay and not too 'posh old lady'?

Any ideas where on the high street I could get one from?

I think it would look great! But keep the colour plain as your dress has texture in it. Sadly can't even offer to seel you mine as it's far too busy for that style of dress.
On the high street try monsoon/accessorise or even department stores, pretty much anywhere this time of year have seen them even in primark I think.

I think this one is rather lovely.

No fear of looking too 'posh old lady' faux fur is very fashionable at the moment.
