Dress for a wedding (as a guest)

[reasonstobecheerful123]

Looking for a dress with sleeves - 3/4 or at least at the elbows - I have chunky/awful upper arms and a much regretted tattoo.

Im a size 14, a bit booby and wide shouldered, but decent-ish figure. I've looked on Hobbs, Reiss, Alice Temperley, Coast (dont want to turn up in the same dress as someone else ) Mint Velvet, ASOS, Other Stories, Finery, Karen Millen and I cant find anything that suits, that also has sleeves! Looking to spend up to £150 tho likely to end up throwing money at the problem for something a bit different, special enough for a wedding, but also not too 'out there'.

Any other ideas please?

Just to add; Im 42, so nothing too young/short-skirted or too frumpy

When is the wedding? It might be a little early to find stuff with sleeves, but you'll have more luck in a couple of weeks time. Any objections to second hand - eBay may work. I found a lovely Ted Baker dress with sleeves on there a few months ago, in spanking new condition and only £25 (was over £150 in shops new).

Will this work?

Or this one?

This is the dress I bought, though I think it'll be a bit small (size 2 is a 12?). It is floaty though so might be worth a punt.

ASOS have a lot of wiggle dresses with sleeves. Ie this or this sort of style.

I've been eyeing up this for a wedding but need a more natural material for a wedding in the tropics.

this and this both very pretty.

Really like the sleeves on this one here

Few HoF options:

this could work depending on your skin tone.

As could this depending on your height or how long you want it.

Love the pattern on this one.

Gorgeous colour - although only in 16 here.
