She does have nice arms! That dress is not very flattering on her though11

I'm surprised they used her as a model, considering her "Crossfit" physique. Maybe this is a trend..

They are clearly targeting women who want to look like men with this ad.22

Sorry... I thought the sarcasm would be clear/obvious.1

I can't see this becoming the norm but it is nice to see (agreed dress is dreadful).
I love that ASOS don't retouch their images beyond colour correcting garments and such. The models in bikinis keep their stretch marks.4 -
It's nice to see arms that aren't sticks. Not bashing skinny arms at all. Many women have thicker arms (fat, muscle, or both) and wonder what clothing would look like on someone with thicker arms. Kudos to Kohls!3

Sometimes I find out when I try them on - bet you and many others do, too.
I'm not super muscle-y, and not fat now, but surprisingly many tops/jackets I try on were clearly constructed for someone with waif-like arms. Seems especially common in active wear, bizarrely.5 -

I find arm holes are the worst offenders. The sleeves themselves are only the problem sometimes. I'd blame my delts, but I really have small delts for a competitor.5 -

Yes! Any short sleeve with a band around the bottom of the sleeve. Automatically not going to work.5 -

Arm holes and tightness around the lats are my number 1 and 2 problems! The struggle is real man.1 -
I was expecting to see someone with more definition. Yes she doesn't have stick arms and obviously works out but I wouldn't call her arms muscely3

My shoulder/upper back growth has surprised me. Three summers ago I found a really cute dress that fit fine in the shoulders/back but was too snug in the stomach. I figured a few more pounds and all would be good so I bought it. Last summer I tried it on and it was perfect in the stomach but I could no longer zip it up all of the way because of my upper back/shoulder area. Hooray for recomp but boo to having no use for the dress.2 -
I find a lot of sleeves to be designed for pretty skinny arms... like something will be baggy everywhere else, but not the arms ... hopeless if you have a fairly slender torso but your arms have some muscle on them. I hate fitted sleeves anyway, I notice here in the Uk with a lot of nightwear, the sleeves are not that loose and for me, personally, loose is much better for sleeping comfort.0

I'm sorry, I can't get past how much I dislike that dress.
The model is lovely.4 -
It really is a terrible dress.0
-
I don't even dislike the dress. I just think it is a terrible pose, and not a style that particularly suits the model.
Actually, I like that style of dress- it show off one of my best features, shoulders, and hides one of my worst, post menopause crinkly neck
Just reading the sleeve comments and I realized I hadn't bought anything short sleeved in years (usually sleeveless) until last month.
I got a little dress in Scotland and haven't worn it yet. I will have to wear it tonight to assess the arm fit.
Cheers, h.5 -
I'm envious of her toned arms. It's funny because I have the opposite issue with sleeveless shirts. The arm holes are usually huge for my petite frame! I'd love to have bigger arms but it seems that no amount of shoulder, bicep, and tricep work can change it.

My nurse practitioner, who I usually see because it's easier to get into to see her than my doctor (I adore then both, so it's not a big deal who I see), has arms like that. She almost always wears sleeveless tops too, and I've always been envious. (But to lazy to do the work to get arms like that for myself)
The sad part is I had arms like that as a teenager. I didn't work out, like at all, but I guess my muscles were just well defined or I was just naturally shaped like that or something. I wore a sleeveless top to a friend's church function, where a lot of the other teenage girls were also wearing sleeveless tops. They had smooth skinny arms that were pretty shapeless. I felt gawky and overly large as it was because I was tall and just bigger than everyone else (I don't know if I was actually overweight, or just big for my age because of my height) and decided that their arms were attractive and mine were gross and ugly. *headdesk*
This was when I was 13. I didn't wear sleeveless tops again until last year when I was 37. Now my arm is just fat, but I don't care, sleeveless tops are comfortable and I'm losing the weight. Someday my arm is going to look like this again. I have a friend making me a weight program I can do with my physical limitations, and then look out world.

Dress just hangs on her. Like cheap curtains.
Skinny sleeves on dang near everything drive me nuts. I love the dress in my profile pic. Sleveless so its perfect for thick arms, back is see through with corseting detail.
Anyone find the "cold shoulder" look flattering? I think it's great for toned shoulders.

Is that this? If so i like it XD I dont have toned shoulders

Sorry, I can't get into that look. I think I would find the gap really annoying.
I have seen some very nice dresses on others, but that is in particular, not in general. It is a bit over played.
Cheers, h.
Cross post. Yes that is the style @JaydedMiss.0 -
Not a quality I personally find attractive on females, but tastes obviously vary wildly.1

Yes that's it. Pretty dress. Looks good on you.
I have a blouse and sun dress like that and loved them. So I bought the sweater yesterday and love that too.1 -

Thankyou
I do like the shoulder cut out it looks dumb but for some reason i enjoy it lol. I have saggy arms so i think to me its a good way to show a little arm without showing the sag so its a win. Even if its just a baby step

Are you referring to the tops or dresses with a 3/4 sleeve and a "hole" in the shoulder area? I hate them with a passion, just like wearing expensive jeans with a hole in the knee area. I don't think that they are sexy or attractive and I don't find the look flattering.
If the model would wear a loose chain belt around her waist, I think that the dress would look better on her. Her arms are nice looking thou.

Back when I was a hippie, I literally wore cheap curtains. (Really: 1960s-70s. Curtains were 1920s-30s, though. I had embroidered net curtains that I made into a long vest, and pink satin ones made into a circle tunic + bell bottoms. Ah, youth!

Not on me, IMO. Arms/shoulders are pretty "toned" ( ), but I'm wide shouldered and narrow hipped, so the proportions are goofy. Doesn't really work for me self-image-wise, either, though I've seen the style look nice on others.
Even now, I'd probably wear the right cheap curtains.2
