You’ve always hated your arms.

You have a huge tattoo of Betty Boop on your right bicep that, now in your late 20s, just doesn’t look as spunky and thoughtful as it once did.

Who care if it’s New Year’s Eve — it’s also 18 degrees outside.

Whatever the reason, there are times when a long-sleeved dress just makes more sense. The problem most of us run into with this trend is that it often makes us look like the mother of the bride. Thankfully, this is no longer the case. There are plenty of adorable, cool and affordable long-sleeved dresses that will glide you safely through the cold winter season.
