i was thinking of getting a dress to wear to a family picnic my boyfriend is having. all the ones im looking at are sleevless, which is fine. but i have a wicked scar on my upper arm, goes from elbow to my armpit. i was just wondering what i could wear that would cover it? even if not a dress, but would be comfy to wear outside all day.

Alex!
I think everyone is on the right track by advising quarter sleeve or a shrug. :) Something removable incase things get "too hot" ;)

I would say a nice knit 3/4 length cardigan or sweater.. but that's what everyone's said so,
I'd also suggest a 3/4 length dress. I know you might feel a little big covered, especially in the summer, but it's no fret. You can opt that skin for a lower cut, which balances out the amount of skin showing, and is totally gorgeous. An example:

It's beautiful, covers up unwanted blemishes, but is still summery fun and picnicy.
You could also try a 3/4 length shirt that's made of a net material, which is still airy and summery, but covers up.. I can't think of an example right at the moment, but it would look great.. paired with a skirt!
good luck, hope i helped, and have fun at your picnic!

First, find out if his family is the athletic type for picnics - you may need to wear something to play softball in!
Then, if a sleeveless dress is what you want, go for it - and wear a jean jacket over it. Most people won't notice a scar unless it has neon lights on it.

there are these really cute dresses that go down to your elbows . they can be short or long dresses . i guess just look for one that you like . show off ur gnarly scar.or cover it up with make up but pick a color that will go with your skin tone other wise you will look funny.
my choice would be to wear a dress with the 3/4 sleeve. they are super cute and are in .

Get thin white 3/4 sleeve shrug or cardigan. I'm sure it wont be hard to find one and itll look great with any dress!

To cover up your skin wear the things that are pretty small.. I dont know what they are called but they look look like mini jackets,

A nice light matching cardigan or shrug. Short sleeved or 3 quarter. Half sleeve too. :) :) =)

I THINK A DRESS WOULD STILL BE NICE. MABY A FLORAL ONE, WITH A PLAIN HALF-JACKET THING OVER IT. JUST DONT WEAR JEANS, THEY ALWAYS SEEM TO GIVE THE WRONG IMPRESSION
