Adding bell sleeves to my dress?

Kennedy, on June 8, 2019 at 5:53 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 11
I got my dress yesterday and the sleeves are the only thing I’m not super crazy about.
Its not a huge deal but if possible, I would love to make them into bell sleeves starting at the elbow.
My wedding is October 12th of this year.
Am I crazy? 😂
thanks in advance Smiley smile

    I think it could be done! Idk how much it’ll be, but you’ve got the time if that’s what you’re concerned about.

    Your dress is gorgeous! I'm sure an experienced tailor would easily be able to add bell sleeves!

    It could be done. I can see the bell sleeves idea working nicely because it makes it dramatic looking in a Good way

    Did you get your dress from David’s? If so I think we have the same dress! I think the sleeves are one of the prettiest things about it. Have you thought about asking them to fit the sleeves to your arms?

    Yes I did! It's by "Galina Signature". My first thought was to have them fitted to my arms but after thinking about it and trying it on again, I'm pretty set on the bell sleeves now

    I hope it's a relatively simple thing to do haha

    I think the bell sleeves would look great! I personally don't like the look of the sleeves from the elbow down and thing bell sleeves would look really unique!
