Need help finding a dress for an installation dinner.

I had a baby 9 months ago. I am still tring to lose weight. Down 12lbs so far!! woohooo!! haha! Anyway I hate my ARMS!!!! So long sleeve or something i can wear a sweater over.
I m 5'0 and about 132lbs. So I am petite. Usually dresses that Flare out look great on me. I also have a large chest. I am basically looking for a flattering dress to wear that still makes me feel sexy!!

I have looked for long sleeves and found a few but they werent fancy enough.

Post pics if u find any good ones!! I have until next weekend!Chat Icon

The great thing about fit and flare dresses is they look good with a little cardigan over them! Chat Icon How dressy are we talking here? If it's pretty fancy, I'd say a lace fit and flare dress would be your best bet- since they usually have longer sleeves. Is there a budget? All the dresses I'm including are from $40- $200, so shop with caution. Chat Icon

Would short sleeves be okay or do you definitely want something long? Even still, I could see a cream cardigan over this!

From Modcloth.

LOVE this one- also Modcloth.

All of these are from Nordstrom:

LOVE this Betsey Johnson one, particularly for the price- $60!

ETA: A wrap dress could work, too, but only if it's more business-y and not party-y. Chat Icon

I love the red one from mod cloth (the second dress) but can't find it on their website. Can you please post the link? Thanks!
