hI GUYS...refer to my previous posts about my weird sleeve...so this is what the seamstress could give me. Im back in my country(A SMALL ISLAND) and we have shortage of material, experienced seamstress and this is the best i could get for my maggie...what do u guys now think?Part of my scar will be exposed on my left arm, but i decided to embrace that little part of my scar lol...i also have a tattoo small one on left shoulder, i hate it and got it done when wa syoung and naive. but i just decided to try n live with it..can get it photoshoped out of the pics..need some encouragement!
It's hard to tell without seeing it on you. Can you wear it and post a pic?
I think it looks like it belongs to the dress! Would be easier to know with it on, like Cariad said.
ok guys..so i just ran and treid it on..didnt have anyone to fit it on properly, so please note the dress looks all loose and big cos i just slide it on without fixing it in place..can u guys see my ugly scar?:((n my tattoo 
also note i can tcover tattoo!here we dont have professional tattoo coverup artists...i ordered tattoo camo all the way from USA, and the colour wasnt even good
I think it would look much nicer without the sleeves! Embrace your body, scars and all :)
i know it loks better without the sleeves...but if i dont cover the scar i know i will spend the day uncomfortable
@mamasey: I think it looks great with the sleeves you had put on and if it makes you feel better, I totally understand why you wanted them.
But, I thought I'd mention that I honest to goodness can barely see the part of the scar that's exposed. If you never pointed it out, I wouldn't have known.
I think all laced up, it will look beautiful!
@csteen85: i applied little bit make up to the scar before taking the pic lol:))
i love the sleeves!
dont fret about a scar. I seriously never would have noticed until you pointed it out. regardless they arent a big deal!!!
beautiful dress!
I think it definitely looks better than the one sleeve before! You look gorgeous! I'm so glad you found a way to feel comfortable with it!
I have scars myself, all along my shoulders and back and even my face (scarring disorder similar to lupus that affected me as a child). I grew up soo self-conscious and uncomfortable because of it... but my fiance made me feel beautiful even in spite of the scarring. He helped me gain confidence and love me for me, scars and all.
I am actually wearing a strapless dress. One of my aunts tried to suggest I go get a chemical peel or treatment for my back and shoulders to try to help with the scars (that's how obvious they are...), but I honestly don't mind them anymore.. They're part of me, and my fiance loves me regardless!
However, I TOTALLY understand how you feel, I was there myself once!! But I think the sleeves will bring more attention to the scar (it kind of looks like you are trying to cover it up, which to me makes it stand out more). PLUS, you're going to be beautiful and beaming on your wedding day, and ALL ATTENTION will be on your face! It looks like (from the tiny bit of your face showing in one picture) that you have a beautiful complexion and lips, so I'm 100% sure your smile and the happiness on your face will be the star of the show!
Your beautiful :) If you feel more comftable with the sleeves then rock the sleeves! Even tho I know that you would look amazing with out the sleeves as well.
Wow your shape looks really beautiful in that dress! Sleeves or no sleeves you are going to be a knock out!
I like the sleeves! Especially if they will make you feel more confident on the big day
I say remove the sleeves and EMBRACE yourself! Scars and all! Girl, my arms are COVERED in scars from motocross, and you better believe I"m wearing a sleeveless dress and have no intention of covering them.
Your scar is what makes you unique, as is your tattoo. What better day to be yourself than on your wedding day?
@mamasey: I agree it looks beautiful. Don't worry about the scars, like others have said you can hardly see the one on your arm.
But, you need to be comfortable on your wedding day. The sleeves look great, much better than the previous options. Now you can relax and start concentration on all the other stuff you have to do. Happy planning. You will be a beautiful bride. Enjoy.
yikes i hope they alter the sleeves it's baggy looking.
do they have lace cloth instead?
@lovelove1028: thanks for sharing!glad u understand how i feel:) even my husband told me to wear it strapless, but im so conscious!im sure i will also one day get the confidence u have!it takes time
thanks again for inspiring:))
big thanks to all for your comments!your ideas!your creative criticism!wish i was staying somewhere where theres easy access to great seamstress and sleeve choices lol...but i just have to make do...im gonna stick with that sleeve, and if i can get a pic of the dress properly fitted will post it before my big day in 2 weeks!!!im gonna rock my hair!rock my make up!stand up tall and rock that dress and nobody will even take notice of the sleeve!wil make sure of that and i have u all to be thankful for that!love u guys!!!;))lol...
i love love love the sleeves! from what i can see, what a beautiful dress & you will look stunning on your big day!
i really like the sleeves, think they give the dress a vintage feel. That said, please dont worry about scars or tattoos on your wedding day, you have a partner who adores you exactly as you are! You'll look beautiful!
The one thing I may do is ask the tailor if they could copy the folds in the dress on the sleeve as well? And it would be amazing if you could continue the embellishment where it ends on your cleavage and carry it over your strap.
I was also a bride with a scar (lovely 40cm incision from just below my neck down to the top of my stomach - heart surgery). I only started to accept it in my early 20s, where i just embraced it as it was such an obvious feature - it's going to get attention so I may as well use it as an ice-breaker 
. I totally get where you're coming from about feeling uncomfortable having the scar on show. An option for you is to see how it would work covering it up as you intend to do wit your tattoo. Try it now up until the wedding to see how you feel. Go for lunch with friends, dates with FI etc, and take a cardigan with you and anytime you feel uncomfortable you can cover up, see how it feels to have it "out there" but covered with cover-up and you may decide that you feel confident enough by the time your wedding comes along to go strapples.
I think the sleeves look great! And once your dress is all laced up and fitted perfectly it will help.
I was wondering what happened to this sleeve: http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/my-maggie-sottero-amber-dressfirst-and-final-fitting-photos
I really think you need to consider a nice bolero. You can order one online, and it would cover better, and not change the fit of the dress.
I really like it now that it has even sleeves. I think it looks very pretty this way, and the dress gives our body a nice shape- even if it hasn't been altered yet! Your scar is not so bad, and I think no one will be looking at it, given how beautiful you'll be in your dress :o) But like you said, you can totally have photos touched up to hide the scar and tattoo, if you like!
Much better! I didn't notice your scar at all until I looked for it. And you can cover a tattoo with regular make up. Search on YouTube.
I really like the sleeves! I think it adds elegance to the dress. That tiny bit of scar is not distracting. We are who we are; scars and all!
