WTH? I am getting a part time job to afford a total body lift and you know what I want done first? My arms! I totally understand where you were coming from now. I hates them! I really, really hates them! God my arms are like the most awful things right now and all the cute things I want to buy don’t have any freaking sleeves! WTH?

While you may get more wear out of one of the zaftique dresses ('cause you can dress them down too w/ boots for autumn - i.e. <a href="http://www.zaftique.com/index.php/detail_page/7906/4f59cd46ba2938fc81d990c43835255b" rel="nofollow">that one</a>), I think <a href="http://www.ariadress.com/Desciptions/DesignsS-125and120.htm" rel="nofollow">this one</a> is super classy and can be glittered up with dangly earrings or JackieO'd with pearls. I guess it depends too if you want to dance & what style you'd feel best in. Ok, ok, I'm done. (And I DO agree with all the peeps here saying, "don't worry about it", but as a thin-but-not-fit girl who's always been self-conscious re: my flabby arms, I relate to your search for sleeves!)

No one is going to be looking at your arms, which I'm sure are fine. Everyone, especially the people who haven't seen you in a while, is going to be looking at you (minus 136 pounds for those who haven't seen you recently) in a pretty dress and hair/makeup, and saying to each other "Oh my gosh, did you see her? Wow, she looks great!" Absolutely NO ONE is going to say "Yeah, she may have worked her ass off, and looks fabulous, but she really needs some sleeves!" You'll be great in whatever you wear, trust me.

BTW the off the shoulder look allowed me to show off beautiful shoulders WITH COLLARBONES VISIBLE!! ME?? COLLARBONES!!!!

Because I was sitting here laughing so much @ the aunt/cousin midwestern wedding and the arm flap slapping some flowergirl in the face while you were dancing... then everyone else was serious. I'm still laughing at it though LOL... but you will find your dress you've got lots of time too ;D I’m sure you’ll find a great dress and look beautiful ;D

Most of the weddings I've seen have had the same types of dresses; you're either sleeveless or wearing big poofy sleeves that look like hot air balloons hovering around your shoulders. I saw your site while cruising around on Technorati and just wanted to say you're pretty damn funny. Good luck with the weight loss...I know how much of a bitch it is.
