Summer dress options that offer arm, leg and décolleté coverage
Summer dressing isn't something everybody loves—especially if your style leans more towards the modest than the skin-baring.
Not everybody loves the thought of a teeny tiny sundress. Some of us prefer a bit more coverage. Whether it’s to hide an area we’re uncomfortable with, erring on the side of modesty, or just preferring dresses that allow for a whole range of movement (no tugging down hems or worrying about what happens when you bend over here!), here are the dresses that you’ll want to live in this summer.
Dresses for covering your arms
Spaghetti straps and tank tops might seem innocuous enough, but many women prefer to keep their arms, especially their upper arms, covered. And you shouldn't have to sacrifice summer style and comfort just because you prefer a sleeve. Here are some dresses that offer coverage for your arms, while keeping it breezy.
