Cap Sleeve Dress

Cap Sleeve Dress - - Prom Dress Styles Cynthia Nellis, licensed to About.com
A cap sleeve dress gives the same impression of the traditional sleeveless, but offers just enough coverage for those that prefer their arms covered - without sacrificing style.

Say yes to deep necklines. A flirty V-neck or charming scoopneck shows enough skin to balance out the covered-up arms.

If you want the arm coverage without the "fancy dress, drab sleeves" disaster, look for an off-the-shoulder cut. Another stylishly simple solution: grab a coordinating shawl.
