Plus size Brides: Sleeves or No Sleeves??

.. with that said though, i may get tiny pearl bra straps, because no matter how much i try, i cannot find a strapless bra that is worth a damn. I'm wearing my hair down so they probably wont be very visible anyways, and we can make it look like part of the dress.

Sleeves might sabotage you. when you're in for alterations just ask them to show you what a sleeve might look like. everyone's bodies are different

Sorry I'm new to the site haven't figured out how to add a pic

My dress is strapless, but it has a bolero that matches which I doubt I'll wear.

I hear ya! I never wear sleeveless or strapless and would be totally uncomfortable. My dress is strapless and found this lace topper from Tulip Bride (online). It has a V in the back with a few covered buttons. Worth every penny. Best of luck!

My advice is to wear what you feel most beautiful in. Don't think sleeves are required for the curvy ladies. If you want full coverage I'd stay away from sweet heart necklines. Try a strapless that has a straight across neckline, it'll help contain the girls best of luck!!

Mine has thick straps and lace up to the back of the neck. I thought I wanted sleeves, but they all felt so baggy and frumpy when I tried them on. I still go back and forth wanting sleeves still though :/

My advice to you would to be to keep trying on dresses until you find the one. I’m a bigger size girl and I hate how huge my arms look in somethings plus im a DDD in front. But I tried on a corset strapless dress and I loved it. When you find the right dress you will know.

I say go with whatever makes you feel beautiful.

I'm having short sleeves added to mine. I'm not crazy about my arms and I feel like for my body having the extra fabric helps balance me out.

As a plus size bride I say covering the arms is better then not covering.

Have you looked at short sleeve? Not cap sleeve but actual short l, flows sleeves! Super cute!! Look on Pinterest!

Strapless!

I wore the bolero that came with my dress all day. I am a very modest person so the strapless dress look is not for me

Idk my arms always look smaller in cardigans...

I have huge arms, and still went with strapless. I felt like sleeves just weren't me, and that it just didn't look like something I would ever wear. I also agree that sometimes sleeves can make your arms looks "stuffed". However, I do thing the off the shoulder sleeve look is so pretty!

These post pictures all are so gorgeous!!!My opinion is sleeves or sleeveless both nice ,just depends on you.Pick the one you love !

No sleeves for me and I felt beautiful. Go with what makes you feel beautiful

It's whatever you feel most comfortable in. Personally I love the sleeved looked that is coming back in style. I'm doing sleeves to hid back fat myself.
