Planning on wearing to a wedding - daytime event with a meal afterwards. Will be finished by around 6pm. If any of that is relevant!

Honestly OP I wouldn't choose it if I didn't want to show my arms.

Anything you put on top will ruin the overall silhouette and I say this as someone who also wants to cover up her arms...I never choose dresses with no sleeves because you find one you like, then waste time trying to find the perfect arm cover...and can't.

Popping on boleros and cardigans is just unflattering in general.

What about one of these?

That’s a lovely dress! Maybe a wrap or cropped jacket could work. I’d probably go with navy or cream (assuming you’re less clumsy than I am so won’t throw red wine all over yourself). I think the skirt and waistline are the bits you probably wouldn’t want to cover up with that dress, as I think anything too long would ruin the silhouette.

Thanks @Ajas. None of those choices are suitable but thanks anyway. I may order the dress and try it on at home. I think you have confirmed what I thought about arm coverage, just doesn't work!

@Dark - thanks for the suggestions :)
