This is the problem I have. My arms are big (with stretch marks too) and I do not want them on display. Even some of the short sleeved dresses and shirts show too much of my arms.

I go thru the same thing. Started wearing sports bras over my bras so you couldn't see thru the truck holes. I like them for at home when it is real hot.

I like my arms, even when they were fatter. i like wearing layers so I need sleeveless tops to get a clean line under blazers and cardigans. I personally, hate high neck shirts since I have large breasts. When coupled with a high neck (other than turtlenecks, which I super heart) my breasts seem even larger and my head seems tiny.
But then I don't really notice other people's flaws, since I'm too worried about my own.
Height: Tall enough for my feet to reach the ground
Sharky, I have to agree with the high neck tops, I wear a lot of turtle necks through winter but other than that, NO THANKS! I have to wear something over a turtleneck though, or I feel that my breasts seem REAL low..lol I am short torso so there isnt much space between my neck and waist...
Shy, I am a 36/38DD and NEVER go without a Bra if there is a SLIGHT chance that someone other than hubby will see me
If anyone is going to see me I have a bra on. But at home with just DH and the kids they are just a swinging. Or rather flapping. Breastfeeding twins did a number on them. They were a 40C-D and now they are a 40 barely B. Oh, to be thin and get a lift.

I guess I was one of the lucky ones. I breastfed both of my kids and it didn't seem to effect my breast at all. I have always made sure I kept good ( had a woman that made them for me until she retired this year ) bras on. That may have helped. I have already told the hubby when I have been at my goal for a year. I want a breast job done. Nothing drastic, want them made the same size lol and put where they go. He said fine with him if that is what I want. We now have our breast lift fund jar started. Those are surgery's cost a lot of money lol. I have found since I have gone from a 42 d to a 40 d they seem to be going back to where they should be all on their own. Guess will have to wait until I am done losing weight and maintaining my goal for a year to see how bad they still are.
I was just thinking of that earlier, whilst rummaging through my closet- my solution usually is layering, however sometimes that makes me look even bulkier everywhere else than I actually am. I do so HATE my upper arms with a burning passion, and as I can see here so do many other plus sized women, so why the makers of plus-sized clothing think that having sleeveless everything is beyond me..
I'm a 38C/D and I never go with out a bra, even sleep in them.
I usually where sports bras when I feel bigger, and yeah I wear layered clothing for the best look. I'll wear a tank and throw a jacket over it, either a hoodie or a denim jacket or a dressier one for going out.
I had on short sleeves last night and one look at my arms and chest I went ewww, so I threw on a long sleeve dressy shirt and leather jacket. We went to red lobster, I ordered steamed fish, and am going to the gym today.
LOL
