As you probably know, I usually post several plus size party dress “round ups” this time of year.  But, being that not many of us will be attending parties this holiday season, I had decided not to.

But, I had several requests on Instagram to show you some dresses for parties or weddings.  And so today I bring you twenty-seven plus size party dresses with sleeves.

‘Tis the Season

Oh, and I am working on more holiday content, including Black Friday sale information {coming soon}, holiday outfits, and gift guides. 

I wanted to make sure to let you know that you can always easily find those topics, by clicking “Holiday” on the menu.

Or go to this page, which is basically “Holiday Central” here at alexawebb.com.

You may want to bookmark it.

And lastly, if there is anything specific you hope to see this holiday season, please let me know in the comments below.

27 Plus Size Party Dresses {with Sleeves}

Inclusive Sizing and Pricing

These dresses are gorgeous and I tried to include something for everyone and everyone’s budget. 

These dresses range in sizes from 8 – 30, the majority in sizes 14 – 24. 

As always, make sure you use my Plus Size Shopping Guide to look for places to shop for cocktail dress and/or plus sizes above size 24. 

And the dresses range from $24 – $388, with the majority around $100 or less.  Plus, many are on sale!

My Disclaimer

If you’re new here, you might be wondering why all of these plus size party dresses have sleeves.  Personally, I prefer to have my upper arms covered. 

I have some “in progress” body image issues and feel most confident with a sleeve.  However, finding fancy dresses with a sleeve is actually quite challenging. 

Although I think it is getting better or maybe I’ve just gotten better at finding them. 

Either way, I try to do all of the searching for those of us who want some coverage and have grown tired of wearing shrugs, wraps, and boleros.

However, all of that said, I by no means think that anyone of any shape or size should ever feel obligated or more accepted if their arms are covered.  Oh hell no!  That is not my message. 

If you want to wear a sleeveless or strapless dress, please do!  If you want to show up to the party half-naked, or hell, totally naked, I support that! 

Whatever makes you feel awesome.  You do you. 

But, if like me, you struggle and want to rock out with your arms not-out, here are my top picks for the season so far:
