Evening dresses with sleeves

[TondelayoSchwarzkopf]

I have never posted a thread here before but I am in awe of your style knowledge and know you are up for a challenge! Here's mine

I have a black tie do soon - work related. I must have something that is:

• glamorous and relatively on trend (no Coast!)
• with sleeves at least to elbow
• NOT black
• I need to wear a bra with it and not on display
• knee length or above

I like this but it is ever so slightly on the casual side and also the bra may present an issue!

I am tall, blonde ish, blue eyed, pale with good legs and waist and a size 12. I suit mid tones and can wear cool reds/pinks and lots of blue shades. I am really in a gold moment though but can't go too pale.

Apart from that I am totally not fussy! Ha ha.

Sorry to be a mare but it is so despondent to shop for something non black and with sleeves when 90% of evening dresses seem to fall into that criteria!

What's your budget? There are some nice evening dresses with sleeves on the outnet.

Ah well tall & busty ;) if you want to go mad men have a look at stop staring dresses.

I haven't been able to afford my wish list from the American home site but am saving :D

Apologies if this Eliza J dress has already been posted. Just gives me an excuse to look at it and drool really.

... and this Pied a Terre one. sighs

I did do a Mad Men look before Mad Men SacreBlue :-) - I quite suit it though the really great dresses there are sleeveless.

Those are gorgeous dresses Hetaera - I feel Juliette Binoche, Helen B-C and other women of infinite mystery and madness would carry them off better than me.

Thought you would :) The US site has more variety but dearer and of course longer to get here (possibly also import tax? I know the Hong Kong shippers attracted extra payments)

Do let us know what you pick in the end so I can nosy at brand

Have you tried baukjen?

The John Lewis website let's you select sleeve length.
