Please help me help my FMIL find a dress!

My FMIL is dreading dress shopping, because she wants something she's comfortable in, and doesn't want it to be form fitting or to show her arms. But she needs something summery since the wedding is in June. So I'm compiling a bunch of pics for her so she can see her options and feel a little better about it. So far I have the ones below. Can you girls please post more (with designer names?). Thanks!

Jackets are okay, but 3/4 inch sleeves may be better for a summer wedding. Maybe something that goes to the elbow...

wow! these are all great. Thanks, everyone! I just saved them all and I'm going to show my FMIL all of these this weekend. Hopefully she'll see her options and get excited about trying on some dresses. She's absolutely dreading it as I said before.

My MIL was the same exact way. We found beautiful dressess, but they showed the arms, or she didnt like the straps, ect. but in the end she ended up with this... Its alfred angelo and is a 2 piece, so its not quite form fitting and it covered the parts of her arm that she wanted it too.
