I need a nice evening-ish dress with sleeves. Am looking for 3/4 sleeves. Dress is for a works black tie do, but it doesn't have to be a full-on evening dress (as long as i can dress it up, it'll be fine) I can't find anything and i don't really like wearing a bolero. Help anyone?!

That HoF one is a stripper dress!

Ghost have some good bargains atm.

sleeves
shorter sleeves
with beading
not sure where the tassles are
(I'm finding the pictures slow to load on that site, but they seem to load as soon as you click on the box to show the sizes available).

Or, if you have issues with your arms, give them some tlc, exfoliate and moisturise, maybe a tad of fake ta even . No one will notice them but you and I agree much more choice in sleevless or capped sleeves.

This is a subject close to my heart as I have been looking for a 'posh' dress with sleeves for months and months (and for some of us tlc and moisturiser will not even come close to helping). If they do have sleeves they usually compensate by being bum-skimming tunics meant for waifs. In my search I found this website which sadly has not been recently updated but I almost feel like taking it over. I have also found that if you prepared to pay for a designer dress you have more choice eg this would look fab on an hourglass figure. Maybe try one of the deisgner discount outlets? American sites also have far more sleeved choices.

I'm sorry I'm not being a great help but I just wanted to let you I share your pain.

What do you expect for £16.50?

thanks, but my arms issue is about hiding a massive half sleeve tattoo, not them being grim

god moonshine, that dress is lovely. But well out of my price range!

jackieno- that ghost dress with the chiffon sleeves is looking my best option so far.

have tried unsuccessfully to buy the Ghost one- the website keeps deleting the dress from my shopping bag and taking me back to the homepage if i try to pay
