Bridesmaid dresses..help!

My bridesmaids tried dresses on at David's Bridal, and I found one that is beautiful on all of them. Problem is, 2 of the 8 bridesmaids don't like strapless dresses. So does anyone have any ideas on how I can alter the strapless chiffon dress that we picked, to have sleeves and not make it look...

So does anyone have any ideas on how I can alter the strapless chiffon dress that we picked, to have sleeves and not make it look tacky? I'm stressing out over here!

Here is the dress:

    I love the wrap and shrug suggestions in the links above! Maybe those would be good options. I don't think real sleeves can be added to the dress you've selected. It's really nice that you want your maids to feel comfortable so that everyone can feel joyful on your special day!

    If its a problem with arms then just add the chiffon wrap, DB has it in almost every color they offer and its not too expensive. http://www.davidsbridal.com/Product_Chiffon-wrap-CHIFFWRP_Accessories-Sashes-and-Coverage-Options-All-Sashes-Coverage-Options

    Do the spaghetti straps! And I'm guessing all those people saying don't add straps actually have BOOBS to hold them up? People (like me) that are pretty flat chested always are feeling like the strapless dresses are going to fall off! I would NEVER wear a strapless to a wedding because I would be constantly pulling it up all the time! The ONLY thing my sister/MOH asked was that I NOT have strapless! My fw's MOH really wants strapless (too bad)! I'd rather my sister not be pulling up her dress the whole time and be comfortable, because fw's sister/MOH thinks strapless looks better!

    Listen Vanessa, it may be this person's wedding, but bridesmaids are people too. Most people who don't like strapless are self conscious or don't like revealing clothes. It is very selfish to make your bridesmaids suffer emotionally because you're a bridezilla.
