Dress help!

[CRWx]

I need a new dress for going out in BUT it's proving to be a fecking nightmare

I need it to have long sleeves or any suggestions of what could go over a dress to hide my arms!

I feel like I've exhausted everywhere but I thought maybe you girlies could help.

I'm a bigger girl, size 14, so it needs to be flattering too but I'm also quite tall

Can you see my problem? x

Can you just wear a thin black cardigan over? Then you have more options.

Im a 'bigger girl' too (size 16) and I LOVE skater dresses, you can get them with longish arms and I think theyre veryy flattering and look lovely with chunky heels. Or maybe buy a dress you like and pair it with a blazer or a cardigan?
Which shops do you like?/have lookes at? And what is your style? xx

I tried that and I just end up looking like a librarian!

I like any shop really, new look/topshop/asos/river island anywhere like that!

I put a chiffon black shirt over the dress I wore last time and I looked a bit silly. I'm an awkward one

Get a sort of, 50's tea dress. They tend to accentuate the boobs and a floaty at the bottom to hide any tummy problems.
They tend to be my go to thing.

How about something like that? I love the lace detail, it covers you but doesnt look too heavy.

I think Boohoo have some lace style dresses with 3/4 sleeves and also some swing dresses with a peter pan collar which also have 3/4 sleeves, think they have them in a couple of colours in each style too

I have this dress (or really similar) and it is super flattering, even though it looks like it wont be.

https://www.newlook.com/shop/womens/dresses/black-lace-3-4-sleeve-belted-skater-dress_310597601

This is similar but cheaper. They also do it in blue.

https://www.newlook.com/shop/womens/dresses/black-polka-dot-mesh-contrast-skater-dress_307280401

Again the same (similar) but full sleeve (Debenhams have this stlye but in navy).
https://www.newlook.com/shop/womens...ace-long-sleeve-belted-skater-dress_310186541

I like this but it might not be your style

https://www.dorothyperkins.com/en/d...melon-embellished-tunic-2683749?bi=201&ps=200


I absolutely love this and might buy it for myself as it will be very flattering but depends on your budget

https://www.dorothyperkins.com/en/d...melon-embellished-tunic-2683749?bi=201&ps=200

It's a difficult time of year for long sleeves really, but as Emy says a thin cardigan. Or there are tonnes of blazer's about x

boohoo have some gorgeous maxi dresses and "going out" dresses, and they have both with or without sleeves.

also, Charlotte-Letitia Crosby's range has some lovely dresses, some with sleeves.
