 Do you find yourself gripped with worry over the shape of your arms instead of celebrating your coming nuptial? Well, you're not alone. Many brides are concerned about what wedding dresses are good for flabby arms, especially when all eyes are on them. Some brides have a fear of how their arms would look in a wedding gown that they often stay away from even trying a dress that could be their dream dress. With so many wedding dresses available, it would be a shame to miss out any of them just because you feel like they couldn't flatter your arms.

What to Consider When Choosing a Wedding Dress for Chubby Arms?

When finding the perfect wedding dress, there are no hard and fast rules.  It is good to do some research into the different silhouettes and try on anything that catches your eye. The most important thing is to ensure that you are comfortable because you will be wearing in for a long time. Make sure that the fabric, fit and sleeve length to make sure that you can wear your dress comfortably. It shouldn't fit too tightly while the fabric and length should complement the weather of the wedding season.

Top Wedding Dress Styles For Brides With Chubby Arms

Some brides want to Cover Chest, some brides want to hide belly, while for brides-to-be with fuller arms, some of the wedding dress styles to consider are those with long sleeves, cap sleeves or off-the shoulder styles. This is because these options can offer coverage and create a flattering silhouette.

1.  Long Sleeve Wedding Gowns

Long sleeve wedding dresses are a popular choice because they provide complete coverage. This will allow brides to feel confident and comfortable without drawing attention to their arms. Besides covering the arms, long sleeves can redirect attention to other parts of the dress, such as the neckline, waist, or skirt, which can be more flattering.

2. Sheer Sleeve Wedding Dresses

Wedding dresses with sheer sleeves allow the brides to show off their arms without completely covering them up. These sleeve styles are an excellent option for weddings that take place during the warmer season because sheer sleeves are breathable and cooler than regular sleeves. Some brides choose illusion sleeves, which are sheer fabrics with delicate embroidery or lace detailing that offer coverage without sacrificing the natural shape of the arms.

3. Flared Sleeve Wedding Dresses

Flared sleeves usually are about ¾ sleeve length and then have a flowy flared fabric. This gives the sleeves some dramatic flair while providing coverage that isn’t a full-length sleeve. This sleevel style is a great whimsical choice that's usually ideal on boho wedding dresses. The overall flare of the sleeves will accentuate the “chubby arms” in the wedding dress in all the right ways.

4. Lace Sleeve Wedding Gowns

Lace is timeless, delicate and a flattering element that compliments any bride.  This fabric offers a flattering and elegant solution with a touch of sophistication. Lace sleeves are a great choice because they can come in any length (at the elbow or beyond) and any design. They can cover the upper arms effectively.

5. Off-the-Shoulder Wedding Dresses

Seems contradictory right? An off-the shoulder wedding dress can draw attention to the collarbones and shoulders instead of the biceps. The neckline shift also creates a balanced silhouette especially if the sleeves drape just below the shoulders. It’s a playful look that balances a hint of skin with a dash of sophistication.
