Women Wedding Suits

Do you agree with me that wedding dresses should have sleeves on them?

It's not because I think strapless dresses are too skimpy; I just think we need to get back to sleeves and away from tubes of fabric. Besides, strapless dresses don't really suit larger women.

1. it really doesnt matter :) <333
2. No. I don't. And so what if strapless doesn't suit a larger woman? That doesn't mean I'm not allowed to wear one. And sleeves are technically tubes of fabric as well. **Go ahead and thumbs down me. You know I'm right.
3. It's not for any one person to decide, what a woman wishes to wear on her special day is up to her.
4. Full sleeves? No. In my opinion, those either look too modest for my tastes or they look too dated. Noooooo thank you http://www.weddingdressgallery.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/wedding-dresses-with-sleeves4.jpg I like the option of having straps, though. I have a very small chest and finding a dress that would stay up was a nightmare. Everything I loved was strapless and that just didn't flatter my figure. I do like something like this, but I would call it a strap as opposed to a sleeve. http://www.weddingdressonlineshop.co.uk/211-408-large/taffeta-sexy-deep-v-neck-with-shoulder-straps-slim-a-line-gown-with-corset-closuer-2010-wedding-gown-wm-0201.jpg I know a lot of women default to finding a strapless or sweetheart neckline, but in reality it really doesn't flatter most bodytypes, large or slim. Slim women are often too flat chested, and larger women either spill out with cleavage or 'armpit fat'. Slim women trying desperately to get cleavage can also be prone to the armpit fat look. http://frugalbeautytips.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/arm-pit-fat.jpg?w=250&h=266
5. strapless dresses are not a good look for every bride, but it seems that it is hard to find a wedding dress that is not strapless. Hopefully with Catherine's wedding dress and new style will start making its way into the bridal fashions. Strapless has been around for way too long.
6. No I think there should be a wide variety of wedding dresses, some strapless, some with straps, some with cap sleeves etc. Everyone has different tastes, gets married in different seasons (long sleeves in the height of summer would surely be uncomfortable) and it's up for to chose what looks best on her for her big day.
7. Personally, I HATE the way dresses with sleeves look. The only thing worse than sleeves are poofy shoulders. For larger women, I think it makes them look even bigger. For plus sizes, I do agree that strapless and even spaghetti straps do not work, especially if there are issues with rolls. A design that can look really good is a halter style dress. It avoids the "baking bread" look, gives adequate support to "the girls" and still looks very stylish and feminine.
8. I would love to see more dresses with sleeves I hunted through tons of shops and ultimately was not happy with my dress it had about an inch wide straps
9. I totally agree- and I wore a strapless! I loved my dress and I still do, I'm thin so no fat hanging over the edge and I have a waist so my dress wasn't falling down. I didn't "hitch" my dress up not once the entire day. But this style isn't good for all body types as you mentioned. Both practical and aesthetic. There definitely needs to be more selection!
10. I would eraonally go for a dress with sleeves. It just seems un modest to wear a strapless dress in a church. Sleeves add a degree of modestly and class to a bride. Plus as someone has mentioned, sleeveless dresses look awful on a larger woman
11. Just because you're on the large side, it does not mean you need to cover yourself up. That's just a misconception. Try a sweetheart.
12. Yes, I agree with you, particularly for weddings that take place in a house of worship (I think it is disrespectful to wear strapless gowns there). Only women with really toned upper arms look good in strapless dresses, and women like me with linebacker shoulders look terrible. LOL Besides, the strapless number with the big pouffy skirt is SO overdone. I'll be glad when it goes out of style.
13. No. I watch say yes to the dress quite a bit, and frankly, really large women do not look any better in sleeves or straps than they do in strapless dresses. I tried on dresses with straps. The wide V-neck straps severely restricted my arm movement, and a beautiful one shoulder beaded strap was really scratchy. Sleeves are uncomfortable. I think that strapless dresses suit a very large variety of women. I didn't originally want strapless, but those styles were by far the most flattering. I don't have a very large chest and I am very thin, but I have absolutely no problem keeping strapless dresses on. The way I see it, I have very few opportunities to wear a strapless gown and I want to wear something special and out of the ordinary on my wedding day. I'm also getting married in August in a hot, humid country and want to be as cool as possible. Straps and sleeves are common - I have thousands of dresses with wide V-neck straps and cap sleeves. Edit: And I'm sorry, but we can see your "untoned" arms when you're wearing straps or cap sleeves too!
14. Having varies styles enables brides to pick a variety of gowns for their weddings..it's a personal choice of style..women wear whatever they want today, whether petite, small, medium, large, extra large or plus sizes..
15. Get off your high horse. The bride may wear what she wants.
