3. Wedding dresses with boleros and veil

When you go shopping for wedding dresses, the most eye catching gowns are usually sleeveless or strapless. There is a notion that these are not wedding dresses for fat arms; well, that doesn’t have to be so. You can pull off a strapless/sleeveless gown with the help of a bolero. Boleros are great because when you finally feel comfortable you can always remove them. You can also wear a sleeveless dress with a long veil that is big enough to cover part of your arm. This will help you hide your arms without looking like you are trying to.

Cap sleeves

The short cap sleeves fall right on the upper arm, making them look wider or rather larger. This is especially when the cap sleeves are tightly fitted; they will work against you instead of for you. Short cap sleeves are not recommended.

Off-shoulder styles

Off shoulder styles are completely to be avoided; they literally draw all the attention to your upper arms. These kinds of dresses will also broaden you shoulders and make your upper body look bigger.

Final tips!

Also remember that you should not only concentrate on wedding dresses for fat arms; broaden your search. If you want to look good in your wedding dress, you have to also feel good; confidence is key. “Even though certain styles work best on certain body types, don't let the "rules" narrow your search too much. It helps to try on all different kinds of dresses and then decide what shape and style you look and feel best in.’’
