I guess I'm too fixated on their narrowness (makes me have to buy petites' 99 percent of the time) to think about them being well defined. Thank you for the compliment!&nbsp;</p> <p>Well, it looks like this dress will make the cut. I hope to wear it to my next Argentine tango outing. I thank all of you for your comments. It really helped make my decision easier so that I don't ruminate!</p> <p>If anyone is considering buying the dress but is worried that it will be too body-con, it really isn't all that tight. It just skims the body nicely without being constricting. I have a larger rear end, and the dress still isn't tight. I'm usually stuck wearing fit-and-flares, so it's nice to have something that's a bit of a different silhouette.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fit-of-cold-shoulder-sleeves#post-1864019 Wed, 29 Nov 2017 23:22:14 +0000 shiny 1864019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nobody is going to notice the droop -- they'll be too busy admiring your sharply defined shoulder line!</p> <p>I've got broad &amp; straight shoulders but they aren't sharp at all, so these cold shoulder looks are horrible on me. Please wear it so I can live vicariously through you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fit-of-cold-shoulder-sleeves#post-1864017 Wed, 29 Nov 2017 23:15:24 +0000 Anonymous 1864017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since it's a knit it seems kind of natural that it would droop a little. It would have to be tight to be snug and then it would look uncomfortable and eventually stretch out.</p> <p>They may have pinned the dress on the model for the photo. It looks really cute on you.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fit-of-cold-shoulder-sleeves#post-1864007 Wed, 29 Nov 2017 22:38:23 +0000 Aida 1864007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gigi I don't mind this fit at all, especially since you have a good boho streak to your style. Lovely dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fit-of-cold-shoulder-sleeves#post-1863998 Wed, 29 Nov 2017 20:40:32 +0000 Gigi 1863998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all the input, everyone! I thought about alterations, but I'm quite overextended at the moment and know that I likely wouldn't get to a tailor before I have occasion to wear the dress.&nbsp;</p> <p>It wouldn't be a bad idea for me to start pumping iron (I should do that already, ha), but I'm not sure I would gain enough girth to fill it out. So if it doesn't look horrible, I'll probably leave as-is for the moment.</p> <p>It's funny...it seems like everything out there has such narrow sleeves nowadays, but this dress is the odd one out! </p> <p>Thanks for chiming in,&nbsp;<b>Angie.&nbsp;</b>It makes me feel good to know that the droop at the shoulder is just different and not an eyesore.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fit-of-cold-shoulder-sleeves#post-1863921 Wed, 29 Nov 2017 14:52:32 +0000 Angie 1863921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks just fine to me. Nice dress.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fit-of-cold-shoulder-sleeves#post-1863919 Wed, 29 Nov 2017 14:47:29 +0000 Anonymous 1863919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You could take up lifting weights or swimming? I would have the same problem trying to fill out this type of cold shoulder sleeve. It sounds like alterations could be the answer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fit-of-cold-shoulder-sleeves#post-1863916 Wed, 29 Nov 2017 14:18:47 +0000 Janet 1863916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a cold-shoulder top that had a droopy arm, and I had it altered to a more flattering fit. That was a short flutter sleeve though. Could this be taken in a bit? It is a really great top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fit-of-cold-shoulder-sleeves#post-1863888 Wed, 29 Nov 2017 10:38:14 +0000 Sisi 1863888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, what a shame! The dress is beautiful and you look fab in it, but I see the problem. And your arms look absolutely ok to me.&nbsp;&nbsp;Can you consider altering the sleeves ? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fit-of-cold-shoulder-sleeves#post-1863880 Wed, 29 Nov 2017 10:23:39 +0000 Gigi 1863880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha ha! That's actually some hand lotion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fit-of-cold-shoulder-sleeves#post-1863875 Wed, 29 Nov 2017 09:53:45 +0000 Jenni NZ 1863875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do see the problem. How much it bothers you is your decision though? The dress sort of matches your soap dispenser! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fit-of-cold-shoulder-sleeves#post-1863864 Wed, 29 Nov 2017 07:59:48 +0000 Gigi 1863864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just bought a beautiful dress from WHBM, but I'm not sure if the sleeves fit properly. It's a cold-shoulder dress, and my upper arms are very small around, so there is a bit of droop to the fabric at the top of the sleeve. I tried to take a picture to show the problem. Is this OK or should I return the dress? Thanks for the help!</p> <p>P.S. Sorry for the grainy pic. My phone has very poor resolution. </p>
