Just in time for all those spring weddings! Another “round up” of plus size wedding guest dresses with sleeves!
I feel most comfortable with some arm coverage, but I find that it’s difficult to find dressy dresses with sleeves.
I strongly believe that as plus size women we should wear whatever we want and in no way feel that we should “have to” cover up.
However, I like to keep my upper arms covered. I fully acknowledge that this is due to my personal body image issues that I’m working on. But, I also know I’m not alone in that. So that’s why I created this series.

Help..they are almost all fitted or emphasizing the waist area..I don’t want to wear a tent but I don’t want to call attention to the biggest part of me either!?
Hi Debi,
I recommend reading my Styling Plus Size Apples post. Many of these dresses have empire waists and fit & flare styles, which are very flattering to those with tummies. You can find the post here: https://www.alexawebb.com/styling-tips-plus-size-apple-shapes-817/
Model. Not tested on really people. Good bloggers wear the clothes and not just cut and past store pics. I’m bored
As I said in response to your last comment, there are so many plus size bloggers out there, good and otherwise… I would try Google and/or Instagram. Seems like a better use of time.
Hi, what is the link to #30 (if i counted wrong, the one with a black top area, and a bluey white skirt part)
The dresses are all lovely, however, I only find maybe 2 that I think I would look attractive in. I like the sleeves. They do cover and they keep you warm in airconditioning! I think I have an unusual shape. I am big busted, have little or no waist and the hips are about as big as the bust. I am short, but not short-waisted. I’d be a plus petite short size. I like wearing “dress pants and a lovely top, with sparkles or sparkily threads in tops. Are there outfits like that?
Hello, where can I find #15 the blue ish green dress with short sleeves?
This is a post from 2019, so unfortunately that dress is long gone. It was from City Chic. But, I found some similar ones: 1, 2, 3, 4. Hope one of those works for you!
Where can I get dress #29, the off the shoulder dress with the printed high-low skirt?
Hi Amanda,
