Hey y’all,


My wedding dress doesn’t have sleeves, and I am very self conscious about my arms so I want to cover them. I didn’t have sleeves altered on because it would have cost too much and I didn’t have any extra time for alterations (two week minimum and wedding is in three weeks). I’m planning on wearing a jean jacket during the reception but I want something a little nicer for the ceremony. I’ve looked at boleros and such and didn’t like them. I thought about a body suit with sleeves but can’t find one with the right neckline.. any suggestions?

    Search "wedding dress topper" on Etsy, or even on Google, and you'll find tons of options.

    Another option would be capes!

    I recommend looking into a nice blazer or faux fur on etsy or amazon.

    Capes are super dreamy looking and can cover your arms! If it will be cold enough, a faux fur wrap is also a good suggestion!

    Buying a dress with sleeves would have been the best option. I like Melle's idea of looking for capes. They are very on trend right now and typically are not hard to match to the dress.

    Ever think about epaulets? I am a bit insecure about my armpits folds, because in some pictures they look like mrs v 😓

    A cape would be soooo stunning and elegant! I've seen some amazing ones.

    I like the cape idea! Another option may be a wrap like a pashmina or something.
