Hi dreamaries79,

I am a big-framed girl, hence no matter how skinny I am, I will always look big/fat.

I particularly hate my big arms though. It's not flabby, but it is just big big.

I will always have to go for one-size larger clothes just to fit my arms (unless it's a sleeveless one, but again who wants to wear sleeveless clothes with such big, ugly arms). I always admire gals with slender arms, especially those who are chubbier than me but have slim slim arms. Sometimes I blame it on my mom who made me do housework from young (I know I know, it's a myth that houseworks make your arms muscular) as well as my dad who made me swim every week during my younger days. :(

Hence, I will always try to hide my arms when my photos are taken. And I am always worried on how can I hide my big arms on my wedding day as well as during my pre-wedding photo shoots as most wedding & evening gowns are sleeveless!!! That was until I saw babysiew's photos:

She looked so elegant despite her size. I have obtained much tips on hiding my big arms from just looking at her photos. :D

So, am sharing with you babysiew's photos, hope that you will be able to learnt much as well.

P/s: babysiew, don't "kill" me for promoting your elegant photos, but you really look good! :P

hi dreamaries79,

count me in to your loops.. i'm plump & big arms too... I went to try a few gowns just to know whether I choose the gowns or the gowns choose me... very very dissappointed that... the gowns choose me... since then, I'm trying to slim down as much as I could... but my weight still maintain there even I cut down on food intake & try to do as much exercise as I could... so I'm here working hard to slim down together with you too... dun be sad ya... :)

jaunty_niel, mind to share your new diet recipe with me... lost 3.6kgs in 1 month is a very good result and normal diet speed... a doctor told me before, if 1mth I can lose 2kg then it's already very good and easy for our body to accept it so I won't gain back weight very fast too...

Hi Beautifulgown.... :) u must be happy finally ur PS is here... :) remember to share wif us of ur pics ya... :) so i can learn some tips in posing... :)

Hi kellynkts, thanx for sharing babysiew's pic with me, yes i noticed that babysiew use scarf, veils etc to cover up her arms and yet she looked beautiful in the gowns.... erm, i felt i regreted in choosing the gowns that are use in my PS as i choose whatever gown that fit me in well, not the type of gowns that i like... em... maybe should go back to BS and choose again?? Kelly, from ur pic, u doesn't look big size leh.. ur face so tiny :)

Rosayee, when is ur PS?? mine is next week wed n thur... i have less than 7days to lose more weight.... :( haha i think i always last mins in dieting... if the time is too far, i still eat like normal.... :) during my graduation, i lost 8kg in two weeks eventhough i knew when is my graduation date in advance, but my attitude is that always do things last mins... :) so now in less than 30days i need to lose 8kg too .. so far lost 5kg... targeting to lose 3more kg in 3days... yes yes, i know it's unhealthy... but now time is short for me.... :P

Haha, don't you know that you can always look as slim as you want in photos? Got Adobe Photoshop maaaa :)

Better than OSIM u-zap.. With the Photoshop, you can zap zap anywhere you want as well as got whitening effect... :P

If I were to send you an uneditted full view photo of myself, then you will know what I mean :)

Helo Jaunty_niel,

thanx for ur suggestion... :) very comforting as i thought i'm the only one tat hav this prbs as not much MB member respond to this thread... :(

well, my PS will be in 10days time, i need a rapid way to slim down abit atleast 3-5kg.... to look better in pics... 14days ago, i'm a 72kg girl, after confirmed my wedding reception and my PS, i tried the rapid way to slim, so far lost 4kg in 14days... now i'm 68kg... so i wanted to lose somemore.... yesterday i thought i hav lost 4kg able to fit most of the gowns... but guess what, i'm wrong haha so depress... i thought i can be choosy in choosing the style of the gowns but instead chosen the gowns tat can fit me in... hahah haiyo, even hubby also laughed at me :) as i grew bigger since we started dating... i was 60kg before.. :)

so Jaunty, u really dun like your PS pics?? then how? reshoot or just leave it like tat? i dun wan to regret after seeing my PS pics, tat's y i rather starve myself than regretting in the future... dun worry, i stil eat, except drank milo for breakfast, then eat fruits for lunch and half bowl of rice wif normal dishes cooked by mum.. :) i do stil eat, just cut down on sweets n coke... :)

you can view my PS photos HERE..

i was around 55kgs - 58kgs when i took my PS photos @ RM688, 2 years ago. maybe because i was expecting a better outcome, that's why i'm not satisfied with the results. it's ok though, i'll be taking my ROM photos with edwin, might be having 1-2 hours of pre-wedding shoot, and another PS with Mikasa / LV / Vogue. don't worry about your arms, i guess the PG would use veils or shawls to help you cover them up!

made a promise with my FH that we'll take another new PS after our wedding - probably every 5 or 8 years, just like what my cousins and aunties does. don't starve. i've got a stomach ulcer few years back, underwent a surgery to remove 30% of my stomach. that's why now i can't do intensive diets like starving, juice diets - all you lose it just water weight instead of fats. when i started dating with my FH, i grew a lot! imagine in 2 years [give and take], from 55 to 81.6.

26.6 kgs. i guess i should be more depressed than you are. maybe you should cut down milo too? take something like low fat chocolate milk. i'm striving to lose weight too! done shedding 4.5 kgs in 36 days, will make sure i'm more disciplined later on.

good luck to you too! you're not alone wakkakakak...

Just wanted to share with you guys...

I'm a big sized gal too and I agree with the rest... halter tops really make us big gals look good, though the downside is the big arms.

My FH is a photographer so he got all this "lobang" and gonna try to get a fresh-out-of-university fashion design graduate to design my wedding gown. In fact, FH already talked to her about the design. My FH says that the "in" thing is simplicity.

So we are going to make a wedding dress (white one for church) that we can reuse as a cocktail dress. All we can do is to add a detachable train at the back.

Oh and regarding the arms... My FMIL knitted a shawl-type thingy. Remember those Shanghai 80's times where they wear this mink shawl around the arms and a bit off the shoulder... really looks nice with my halter dresses. Makes you look really, really elegant...

Me will go home take pic and show you guys... ;)

niel,

ahh .. the shawl is nice .. if the color is matches with the gown, it really help to cover the shoulder to arms part :)

gal289,

you are lucky to have such a good MIL :) I never know whether my FMIL is a good or bad type as I never have chance to serve her, she already in heaven :)

gal289,

does it look something like this?
