fat arms

Can someone please tell me where to go to get shirts that have longer sleeves then alot of the short short sleeves I find all over the place?  I cant believe how hard it is too find a shirt that I like that I feel comfortable wearing with my fat arms.  I know I can get long sleeves but I am looking for causal tops with sleeves that actually go lower then a little past my shoulders.  This is frustrating, I thought I would enjoy shopping once I lost weight and can wear clothes without going to a plus size store.  I hate shopping mostly because of the length of the sleeves in most tops.  HELP!!

Check Kohl's. They have a lot of tops in different sleeve lengths even in the summer wear.

I'm sorry you are so frustrated.

Do you know a seamstress?
If you can find a shirt with longer sleeves, have them shortened.
Also look online maybe you can find something you are looking for.

 I was worried about this too! I decided to quit worrying about it. if people don't like my arms, too bad! Now I just wear what I like!

However, I have found that Beall's has some nice variety of sleeve lengths on their blouses. That is a Florida store, but you can order online from there.

Good luck! Hope you find some things you LOVE!!!

Hugs, 

Liz, I may decide differently after I lose all my weight but as a pre-op, I'm with you. In this horrid summer, I go sleeveless as much as I can.

I like Chico's...I can usually find things there.  Good luck.

I know where you ae coming from.  I also just started wearing what I want to, but there are days that my arms bother me more than others and  I go to my half sleeve shirts.  American Eagle, Aeropastle (sp) A&F  have lots of those thypes of tops.

I actually just bought some at WalMart.  I'm not want to spend a lot of money right now for clothes and these are the White Stag and were pretty reasonable.

 I really likedthe white stag  t shirts from walmart when i felt my arms were fat .... the cut is flatering and hides a lot of ills without  appearing  matronly  or dated ...

they are a bit boxy cut though .   

I also love tight litle tank tops under cardigans ....

 I can totally relate.  Just yesterday I said that I would welcome fall when I could wear long sleeve shirts and sweaters which are far more forgiving of my big arms.  I'm fine with the rest of me but my arms are giving me grief.  I'm lifting weights a lot, but I may need intervention from a PS at the end of the journey.
