"One of the biggest complaints I have from women about their own bodies is their upper arms. I don't think anybody over the age of thirty likes their arms and so we see a lot of people, or hear a lot of people who want to cover that part of their anatomy and I totally understand that so our designer's have come up with some dresses that are not frumpy, they don't look like your grandmother's dress but they do cover those areas that we like to cover. This one I think is especially good because it gives you just a little bit of collar which cuts down on all of the skin that we normally see sometimes in evening wear and it also gives you just a little bit of coverage. It's not a long, heavy sleeve, but it's a nice light sleeve that camaflouges that upper part of your arm. Three quarters sleeves are really a good idea, especially in a warmer climate like ours. They give you skin here which makes you look longer and taller. When you cover your whole arm it tends to be a little heavy and makes you look shorter."
