2. Robert Rodriguez draped zipper dress, $429
3. As U Wish lace tube dress, $64
4. Geren Ford tie front dress, $311

But I also couldn't help myself:
The best reason skip the gym and get a second job to finance my lavish fashion tastes:

Do you guys have weird body phobias like me? Most importantly - do you adjust the way you dress to accomodate them?
P.S. Stop by tomorrow for a giveaway!

Oh I know what you mean! All those dainty little sleeveless dresses designed to accentuate how tiny and muscly the wearers arms are. So when I wear them, it does the opposite :(
Oh my gosh... I love number 4! Adorable. I feel the same way about my tummy! :)
Umm, the dress with the long sleeves rocks da house K.
Gotta admit, I've had good arm genes. But I don't love the thigh/leg genes and am all over the A lines girlfriend.
Ugh, the second dress is beautiful - and too expensive.
I don't really have any body phobias. After college I lost a lot of weight, so I figure that I'm in the best shape of my life and I may as well enjoy it - and enjoy dressing in everything possible.
my thighs, my thighs, and my thighs also really bother me..and yes, i definitely adjust what i wear beacause....did i mention i have big thighs?
Wear them anyways & throw on a featherweight turtleneck underneath...tres chic!
Those are really cute...I don't love my arms either but I think it would be too hard to give up sleeveless dresses. Especially in the summer!
Some lovely choices, I heart #4, my arms are fine but my thighs...now thats a totally different story! No shorts for me:(
i love arms!!! i love mine... they arent fit or anything i just really like them. ya know silence and noise is a pretty net brand never fails to disappoint me...
photo phobias?! uh, yes...i hate my arms, my armpit fat, my hands, my legs, my right side of my face, i could go on and on...
i won't do full body shots and anything that accents my flaws is a big fat no no.
oh the rob rodriguez dress and that disco number are farkin HOT! get'em!
I'm a bit insecure about my arms too, and I adore strapless dresses but can't pull them off -- at least, I'm always worried I'll fall out of them. When it comes to my arms, I think I've imagined most of it. I say take the plunge buy a daring dress that's a bit outside of your comfort zone but makes you feel fabulous -- you'll probably completely forget about your arms.
I really hate my arms to, but see here is what you do you buy the sleeveless dress and then put a cute blazer over or a cardigan or even put a vintage band shirt under it if you wanna go that route
if you don't like your arms, i definitely recommend a halter cut (like in the last examples). i hate to say it, but strapless is not flattering on most people (you'll never see me in it).
you could always go my route and get a bunch of tatoos on an arm so everyone notices those and not the condition of my musculature. hehe.
Top of thighs really gets me, the extra bumps which create themselves from no-where around there I find very troublesome. Nothing too short covers that normally! And I'm sure your arms aren't half as bad as you think they are... Try pole dancing for toning them :) More fun than the gym for sure! x
I'm not a fan of my arms either, not my thighs. I'm so fussy about what cuts I will/wont wear because of it!
Ugh, my arms are my biggest complaint. Especially after a particularly horrifying week where I broke off the arm buttons on multiple short-sleeved shirts and dresses. I'd probably have to starve myself to get the arms I want. Wah!
I'm with ya on the arms bit. They used to be or look well formed but I just stopped being as active and now they have no shape. I loove all your picks, especially the last one...that is so beautiful.
I despise my arms and never go sleeveless, not in 100 degree heat, NEVER.
Sad really, but what are you gonna do? I accentuate what I do like and say eff my arms. HA
I love RoRo's zipper dress! {Wait. Can I call him RoRo? Ah, well.}
Every time I see Michelle Obama, I am inspired to go to the gym. Her arms are fab! {Currently I am still in my PJs and eating cupcakes, so I don't know how inspired I really am.}
I have no butt. At all. Of course, I have boobs. So I look top heavy. I even considered buying a pair of those booty-enhancer shorts.. you know the ones they sell in the grandma section of department stores.
OH MY, YES YES YES, I hate my arms. they're not hideous but in photos they are REALYL unflattering when i have sleeveless on. i find that i can't do spaghetti straps, i have to have something bold and i have to remember to not have my arms by my side squished but arms a kimbo.
do you do that?
i never browse the sleeveless section either BUT i did end up buying a dress that is sleeveless for the wedding and i've been doing arm exercises in the car while driving..
Oy I feel your phobia, but mine is with my stomach! I only love my stomach first thing in the morning when it's flat and empty. If I eat even a cookie, it pops back out again :(
it's my stomach...it's not even bad, but anything form fitting freaks me out.
#5 must be mine!
gah! i don't like my arms either! i buy tons of sleeveless stuff, and just make sure i can pair it with a sweater or jacket. i could start doing 4 million push ups a night and that MIGHT help. ugh.
My arms have been in better shape than they are now -- I would like to get back to working out like that. The nice thing is I think you can see pretty quick improvement if you work out seriously. Don't buy into the myth that you'll "bulk up" if you use heavier weights. If it was so easy to bulk up you'd see over-muscled women all the time and you don't, right?
Arms are my nemesis!
Giveaway happening on my blog....check it! :)
Great selection, especially the T-bag coin dress. What a good way to motivate yourself to go to the gym! Should compile one for myself.

I totally have this arms things too!! I always see tank tops and sleeveless dresses that I love, but I never buy them because I think, "Hmm... what could I put over that to make it wearable?" And that pretty much defeats the purpose.
Though even if arms weren't an issue, that last dress you posted is absolutely my favorite!
Oh gosh, I hear you. My arms are like jello - at least the top half. I'm obessesed with arms. I find myself staring at them whenever I see toned ones - I don't even look at the face or the outfit, just the arms. Eek, must get in gear!
I'll take number 1 and 2 please. I also need to get off my bum, so maybe I should put these little babies on my fridge!
i HATE my arms as well! i don't know what it is about them, they are just there and untoned and flabby. yuck!
eww I hate my arms too... and it sucks needing to wear a cardigan all the time to keep those puppies hidden.
I should work on mine too I suppose...
Hi K- what do you wear swimmimg? Do you cover you arms then?
eek! if these items don't inspire and motivate us I don't know WHAT will!! they are all so beautiful.
Those dresses are totally gorgeous and I wish I could have them all.
Haha. I feel the same about my arms. I bizarrely got over my ass even though I'm not a big fan of it, as I wear the J Crew pixie pants everyday.
