Things to consider would be that I'm a size 22/24 and just recently gave birth to our third child so I'm a little extra soft in the middle currently. I do not care for sleeveless as I feel that my arms are quite unattractive. We are also pretty conservative people so I don't want to be too revealing. I believe sexy can be achieved without revealing all of my secrets to everyone I encounter. I'm not opposed to an outfit where I could throw in some fun. Such as fishnet stockings or the like. I'm not very skilled at walking in heels though so that my not be doable. I'd love to see what you could come up with!
Please help this poor fashion ignorant woman.
Thanks,
Amy C
Amy, congrats on the 13 years and 3 children. You deserve a weekend away and a new hot outfit!
I am totally with you in believing that you don't have to expose all your goodies to be sexy. :-) Also, I am totally with you in not being a fan of my upper arms. I am always amazed at how many dresses are made either sleeveless or with cap sleeves. However, there are still options that do have sleeves.
eShakti is a great company that offers a wide range of sizes (0-26W) and you can customize their items for a nominal $15 fee. The dress below is shown with cap sleeves but you can select from a total of 9 different sleeve types to have this dress modified with (along with size and length modifications)! I actually just ordered this same dress with 3/4 length sleeves, and I know it will be great for work, casual weddings and more! Bonus - sign up with eShakti and receive a code to save $15 off your first order!
Accessorize this gorgeous blue dress with glitzy earrings, a gold evening bag and low metallic wedges and you will be looking ha-ha-hot!
This great pink dress can be dressed up with a fab pair of earrings, textured hose and a pair of sweet kitten heels.
Lastly, this eShakti dress is an instant classic with its wrap styling and will not only be perfect for your date night but an array of functions and events in the future. For your date night add a bauble necklace, sequined clutch and another pair of metallic wedges.
Have a great weekend away and enjoy knocking your hubby's socks off when he sees how glam you can be!

Great picks! Amy will look Fab in any of these great looks!
Kimberly,
It would be lovely if you shared with us (your readers) your experience with eShakti. I would love to order something from here, but I am curious what the process is like, how the garmets fit, and what the quality of the garmet is like. Also, I would love to see a pic of you in the blue dress!
Thanks!
Jen -
I'm planning on wearing the blue dress tomorrow (as long as I am not lazy this evening and iron it!). I will share more info on eShakti when I wear it about the process, etc., but I have to say I am really pleased. While the items tend to be more expensive than what I normally spend their uniqueness and the ability to customize it make it worth it in my opinion.
Okay, you are so great at answering reader questions for fashion help. Hubby just surprised me and the kids (8,9,4) with a trip to Hawaii in just 11 days, yes 11 days! I am thrilled, but, I need help. I dont want to pack loads for myself with also having to pack for 3 kids and the check bag fees.
We will be spending time on the beach (of course) and active fun stuff. I could really use a new swimsuit too. I am a size 14+ and have junk-in-the-trunk. Also, I dont live in a big town so most, with the exception of Old Navy and Target, will have to be ordered.
I would love it if you could help me, again, you gave great ideas for spring and I picked up some of those items like the white capris....

Thanks so much for answering my question and for offering me some great options! I love the black dress and I think I would like the blue with different sleeves. I love the tights and I ADORE that the beaded cluster necklace takes in to consideration that some of us need them longer. I will definitely be looking into your recommendations and I will be checking out eshakti!!
I'm sorry it took me so long to respond March is a crazy month around here since both of my boys' birthdays are this month.
Thanks again for answering my questions! I can't wait to start shopping for our getaway!
I love the black wraparound dress. I've learned through experience that these types of dresses look really nice on bigger gals. I would try to stay away from the bad look, like the second picture though.
