I really need your help ladies. My sis is one of my MOH and she has this thing about her arms. She refuses to wears anything that doesn't cover her arms.
I know the search for a dress will take forever so I am starting now. Has anyone seen any BM dresses with sleeves? Can you post pics?
TIA!!!

Re: BM Dresses w/sleeves
I wish you the best of luck. I have issues with my arms, and had the hardest time looking for long sleeved dresses - and, unfortunately, BM dresses will be just as difficult.
On the bright side, would she consider wearing a shawl that would cover her arms, or is that completely out of the question?
You can do a few things: - Since she's the MOH, she can get the same dresses as everyone else, but she can add sleeves to any dress that has a strap (most designers do this for an extra $)
- You can have a ballero jacket made to match the dress as well. Again, most designers will do this for an extra $, or you can just order the exact same fabric, and bring it to a seamstress to make her a little Jacket.

I haven't really seen anything with a long sleave, but I did see this:

That would actually be perfect for my sister. She's older so she's a little more conservative. WOW you guys came thru and quickly. Is that a Dessy dress?

I am in the same boat because my niece has 'full sleeves' of tattoos on her arms from her shoulder to her wrists, and she will probably be my MOH. She offered to put makeup on her arms, but that's too much of an area to cover. I'm thinking of dresses that have long sleeved-jackets, but I haven't found any.

Christine is right, I looked all over for dresses with sleeves and I hated all the sleeved dresses I saw. So, the girls have strapless dresses and I am having boleros custom made by a LIWedding vendor, Cathy Fiorenti. Good luck!

This was one dress I considered:
Search Bridesave.com -- you can put in long sleeves, and it will bring up a bunch of dresses.
