Everything seems to be sleeveless, short/mini or maxi.
I’m short and not fat but my arms are jiggly and white. Help |

Can you tell us more abut what you like/want as opposed to what you don't like?
-What is your size (height, weight, body type). Do you need a petite size? -Can we assume you want a midi length? -Do you prefer solid color or printed? Any colors you particularly like? -you mention you want sleeves. Are cap sleeves ok? Tight sleeves? -Budget?

How dressy? Budget?
Here are a couple of knee length options. https://www.brooksbrothers.com/flutter-sleeve-dress/WX00958.html?pid=WX00958&dwvar_WX00958_Color=NAVY https://www.brooksbrothers.com/cotton-blend-puff-sleeve-floral-print-dress/WX00942.html?pid=WX00942&dwvar_WX00942_Color=BLKM |

| I mean, you can't go wrong with the Somerset or any number of Somerset lookalikes. |

these are terrible for big bust and pretty bad for under 5'5" |

+1 Hobbs petites are great but on the more expensive side. We don't know OP's budget are other pertinent details a PP saked above. |

I like the second dress with the print for a daytime country club party. |

This in either color is a good blank slate to work from . . . sleeves are forgiving, as is the shift shape; linen blend is perfect for the season and daytime; can dress it up with accessories. It's short but not inappropriately so (the regular version will likely come to your knee if you're petite) . . .

| I’m 5’4” and slim but don’t love my upper arms. I might try a simple dress like this from COS: https://www.cos.com/en-us/women/womenswear/dresses/mididresses/product/sculpted-gathered-jersey-midi-dress-dark-blue-1339392001 |

Agree. And they are so recognizable at this point that they scream "cheap Anthro because I have no style." |
