Any brides that don't want to show their arms

walkerbev

I have a real problem with my arms despite being a size 12 my arms have always been big and i haven't been comfortable wearing a strappy top for years. So when it comes to wedding dresses i'm stumped i had bought a lovely two piece and i need a bolero/shrug to match but everything is too small arm wise I just don't know what to do my wedding is in 4 months

Is just your shoulders and top of arms, or down to your elbows etc? Would you wear all the time - for dancing so it has to be lightweight or just during day?

Have you taken the suit to a dressmakers? What did they say?

In 4 months it will be October so could be chilly. How about a feather or fake fur cape? maybe something like this... http://www.aliexpress.com/store/group/Bride-shawl/913041_211973775.html


Or if you are hoping the weather will still be warm then how about something like this:

a seamstress will be able to make you a shrug/bolero.

Hi! I ordered a lovely organza shrug from eBay, and the seamstress will tailor it to your requirements ... I'm quite sporty so my upper arms and shoulders are quite chunky and I almost always find sleeves and armholes tight. I gave her the measurements of my shoulders and arms, and she made the shrug to fit. It looks great!

I got my bolero from phase 8 in debenhams. Its nice and stretchy around the arms!
