Found my dress but need advice

Shelby, on July 6, 2020 at 2:23 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 18
Found my dress and I love it but I don’t love the spaghetti straps. Should I add sleeves and if so what kind? I have broad shoulders and I don’t love my arms but I have time to get them toned up. Wedding is 9/18/21 also added a little extra coverage on the cleavage area Found my dress but need advice 1

    Love those cause they’re a little off the shoulder and so elegant!

    Beautiful dress! I wanted to add something to my strapless dress to cover my arms, but my seamstress and best friend made the point that adding off the shoulder sleeves draws more attention to that area. I considered going will a tulle cape instead of a veil, haven’t fully decided yet.

    I dont think you have broad shoulders at all but if you feel that way you could add off the shoulder sleeves or something. I think the style of your dress creates a nice hourglass look

    Love the dress! I too really didn't want spaghetti straps - you could easily just have a slightly wider strap added if you don't want sleeves. I think a strap that's just 1-1.5 inches wide would look great.

    A cap sleeve is a good option. But honestly, the dress looks beautiful on you as is!

    I think either cap sleeve or off the shoulder would be great choices! Your dress is beautiful by the way. Congrats!

    Swag sleeves out of tulle would work great and not be expensive. You can probably add more tulle/coverage than this but you get the idea...

    My dress has petal sleeves! It’s like a cap sleeve but has a slit for more movement so it doesn’t dig in when you lift your arms up to give a hug. It adds a little detail as well. I’m super self conscious about my arms and wanted a sleeve and when they said these were an option for my dress I was all in. The blue is just a better pic of a petal sleeve Found my dress but need advice 4
