Dresses with sleeves?

Hello! Looking for recommendations about where to go about finding plus size dresses with sleeves? I am actually looking for something more of a destination-wedding type because for what I can tell, those seem to be more of a casual dress?

I know boleros are a really great option for some brides, but I would rather just have a dress with some sort of sleeve.

I live in the Chicago area if anyone has any local information that would be great (not necessary but helpful).

Really appreciate your help, ladies! Thank you!

    I know that David's Bridal sells dresses with sleeves for sure. I tried on a couple of them. My dress is strapless/sweetheart neckline, but I wanted some sort of sleeve too; So I'm having cap sleeves added to mine.

    I don't know who the real designer of this dress is but I personally hate sleeves and really liked this dress http://www.inweddingdress.com/style-ps104.html
    I seems like it could be casual but still be special and it has a destination feel. Maybe one of the other girls knows the actual designer.

    Thanks for your posts, everyone. I appreciate them.

    SliverGlitter05: I have seen that dress! It's actually available on Igigi! I do like it a lot and have considered it. I have actually seen photos of "real weddings" online of women in that dress and while it looks very nice, the fabric seems ... a little off IRL? But yes, a great option.

    Also, it turns out, a huge resource for dresses with sleeves are on sites geared towards LDS brides and their "modest" collections. Some very, very nice looking dresses on some of those sites that are not matronly. So anyone else who's in the same boat--in need of sleeves--try searching those or just do a general search for "modest" dresses (even though I think that term is kind of silly).

    They are mostly way too formal for what I am personally looking for, but they are out there.

    Thanks again, everyone!
