Buy dress with sleeves or add sleeves to dress

Smarie1993, on February 12, 2022 at 12:53 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 5
So, I have a small dilemma. The wedding dress I WANT that is within my budget is off the shoulder but has long beautiful detachable sleeves. Issue is, it's off the shoulder/strapless and I have larger breasts that need a little support. I'm thinking of either getting this dress and adding straps while using some KT tape to hold myself up a little, or buying a different dress with similar body style that has straps and just adding similar sleeves. The problem with that is that I have no idea where to find sleeves like it. Every place I've checked to find separate sleeves to add on, the style is different and not what I want.
Does anyone have recommendations on where to find sleeves, aside from etsy (already looked there) Or should a seamstress/tailor be able to make and add the sleeves themselves?

    Adding small straps to this dress should be super easy!

    Perfect! Yes I think something like that would be great. I don't need a lot to help hold the dress up. Thanks!

    I agree that adding straps sounds like it would be easier than finding a strappy dress and trying to add sleeves!

    It shouldn’t be an issue to add straps to the dress in the picture, but it also would be totally doable for a seamstress to make sleeves like that to add on to another dress. I worked in bridal for 3.5 years and adding straps or sleeves was one of our most common alterations
