I agree w/you. not everyone likes their arms.
have you considered off the shoulder? There are many of those to choose from at salons.

Believe it or not, there is a market for that. Or so I was told when I asked the same thing.

I know EXACTLY what you're saying! I had planned on getting a dress with sleeves, but they were all so frumpy. Then I discovered that strapless/sleeveless actually looked better on me anyway...

I guess I'll wait and see how things look on. I'm just frightened that the sheer sleeves will make my arms look like italian sausages!

I know what u mean!! Some of then were terrible. I actually wanted halter but it made me look like a linebacker . I realized that I actually had to try on all styles to see what looked best. I wound up w/ strapless which I was dead set against!!

I understand that you are frustrated and not meaning to offend, but the above statements are somewhat hurtful to those who have dresses like those you don't care for. Just because it is not your cup of tea does not mean that others don't love the look. I happen to love the long flowy sleeves that are on my dress. Is it for everyone? Of course not, but neither is tulle or big fluffy skirts. It is all a matter of personal style.

SPEAKING FOR MYSELF, I HAD NO INTENTION OF HURTING THE FEELINGS OF THOSE WITH STYLES LIKE THIS. THAT IS WHY I STATED IN THE TITLE 'PLEASE DON'T TAKE OFFENSE.'

You are absolutely entittled to your opinion. I apologize if I made you feel like you weren't. I guess I just misunderstood your meaning.
