Have you looked at any Maggie Soterro dresses? I'm pretty sure they come in all sizes :)

If you find a dress you like without sleeves, ask if it can be altered for them to be added :)

I'm a plus size bride and went to wed2b in Liverpool they had loads of stuff there for plus size with sleeves, and lots of different styles x

Highly recommend Mori Lee gowns or Christina Wu, most alteration people will be able to add sleeves for you, find the gown, then you can add things to it to make it perfect...! Find a dress shop that do plus size dresses, if you live anywhere near Basingstoke i highly recommend Elderberry brides! 😊😊

I'm plus size and I got my dress from lily rose bridal in kenilworth they were amazing. Can't wait to wear my dress in August. The dress I picked didn't have a sleeve but they are making me one to attach to the dress

There is lots of choice about - google plus size dress shops in your area, and be prepared to travel a little further afield if you can - it's worth it! I wanted sleeves too but most dresses actually seemed to be without - it's not a worry though, they have lots of sleeves they can pin on for effect and then you can just choose the exact ones you want adding on after, making your dress much more bespoke and individual There are also a lot more colour choices than you'd imagine and a lot of dresses I saw came in more than 1 colour choice x

I got strapless and had sleeves added. Lots available or boleros that just cover arms.

I too am a plus size - I bought a burgundy gown and the shop ordered material off the same bale, and I got a dressmaker to make me a long sleeved bolero jacket - so don't worry - plenty of options for you - Good Luck!

I'm selling my plus size off the shoulder one, maybe could be altered and dyed? Depends on size etc and price ?? ?

There is a plus size dress shop where I live (Market Deeping, Lincs) with a beautiful floral wedding dress in the window at the moment. I'm sure there are lots of other similar dresses around, it might just take a bit more work to find them.
