plus size wedding gowns sleeves image

I am a size 16-18 and I want to wear a strapless dress for my wedding but my mother picked another dress. She says because of my strecth marks and I guess my fat back lol and the dark spots I have under my arms I shouldn't wear one but I want to wear one how can I get rid of these issues to look good in a strapless dress.
Answer
Don't get stuck on strapless. Try on lots of different styles, and be open-minded. You might be surprised!
For example, a halter-style top is great if you have narrow shoulders. It makes your shoulders look more broad and balances you out:

A sleeveless, thick-strapped dress is ideal if you are very busty, because you can wear a regular bra underneath. If you're heavy up-top, this is a good option because it will flatter your decolletage more than a strapless bustier: http://www.janema.com/uppic/2009427174830American-Famous-Designer-Bonny-s-Plus-Size-Wedding-Dress-B-01023-.jpg

A short, sheer sleeve or shrug is another option, especially if you want to hide dark underarms. These designs are sophisticated and pretty without being matronly: http://www.bigisbeautifulatbridaldreams.com/userimages/1712l.jpg

Another option that has the same sexiness as a strapless gown is the off-shoulder sleeve. It gives you that lovely neckline, but covers up a bit more in the back so you're not so "exposed." They also hit the shoulders in *just* the right place, which creates and "hourglass" image AND makes your arms look slimmer:

Why are most wedding dresses strapless and sleeveless?
Amelia
I like the show Say Yes To The Dress and I've noticed most of the dresses are strapless and sleeveless, even in the plus sized edition. Honestly, I don't think strapless or sleeveless dresses look good on women with big arms. Why aren't their more options for dresses with sleeves, for both sizes of women?
I thought Kate Middleton's wedding dress was great and it had sleeves.
Answer
Strapless is the current fashion trend. Its harder right now because of that to find dresses that are not strapless or sleeveless.
Really only about 10% of brides (if that many) can pull off a strapless gown and have it look good.
Any dress though can have sleeves added to it. My dress was originally strapless but I had sleeves added to it. My husband is Muslim and the wedding was in a Mosque where sleeveless/strapless is frowned upon and in many cases not allowed.
Even without that I had planned to add sleeves or look for a gown that had them. I know what doesn't look good on me. I lost 100lbs but I still couldn't pull that off.
There are dresses out there with sleeves the style you need to look for is a "modest" gown.
