@grumpier monster my arms are disproportionate to my body and I always want to wear a sleeve to hide them. Definitely go to a tailor; like a stand alone one on a street (if you’re in Sydney Babylon on Botany rd is good), the chain ones in malls are expensive. Or try facebook market place for a local person doing it from home. I have also started doing my own alterations but haven’t tackling a sleeve yet- they are so many easy tutorials on youtube and Pinterest. 

If you get a long sleeve the bottom half can be added as a panel to make a shorter, roomier sleeve. You can also take fabric from the hem making the dress a bit shorter. You can get it changed to a flutter sleeve which is open underneath. 
If you have a stretchy cardie that fits you could just cut off the sleeves (after the sleeve so it doesn’t unravel) and then wear the cardie to hide.

@lizbette I’m renovating a terrace so it’s nice to see what they’ve done. It’s nice to see something aspirational but a converted urban space with a small garden. I can mentally add a bit of dust and clutter.
