Need opinion on adding sleeves to my dress

Private User, on February 4, 2016 at 9:42 PM

Posted in Wedding Attire 42

Have any of you ladies added sleeves or straps to your dress? I am considering adding lace cap sleeves to mine. Below is a picture of me in my dress, and a few pictures with the sleeves that I like. What do you think? Cap sleeves or off the shoulder? I would love to hear your opinions!

    No sleeves but if you really need them I vote shoulder sleeves!

    @Haley that looks gorgeous! I might ask if I can play around with different strap ideas...

    @Emilyg I love that idea! My first fitting is at the end of the month and I will definitely be getting some fabric taken off of the bottom of my dress. Maybe they can make attachable cap sleeves with the extra fabric.

    I do think it looks stunning without the sleeves but I also think the cap sleeves are beautiful and really add a little "something special" to the dress. Smiley smile

    I like the cap sleeves for your dress. I personally love the way lace sleeves look!

    PS-I think your dress is GORGEOUS and honestly, a classic and elegant strapless dress will never go out of style. It's what you like best and feel the most "you" in.

    I'm a huge fan of lace cap sleeves - or have you thought about a lace bolero?

    @Rebecca I hadn't really thought of a bolero, really. I think they're pretty, but probably not something I would be seriously interested in. The lace cap sleeves are just too pretty!

    I think it is classic and lovely as it is, but I also love Haley's advice: try different styles and options before you commit. Besides boleros and sewn on sleeves, maybe check out some of those ornate shoulder necklace things.

    I am also on team no sleeves, you look great! But if you do want a sleeve, I like the off the shoulder look.

    @novaknuptials2016 this is going to sound crazy but... I don't know the brand of my dress. I never even checked. It was on super sale, off the rack at my local bridal shop.

    Love sleeves! Taking selfies while dress shopping confirmed that for me. In strapless dresses, you just look naked in close-up portraits.

    Oh wow! Not quite the same pattern, but mine is floral too with some paisley pattern almost. Where in Central PA? Mine was from Amber Rose in Williamsport.

    This is mine up close.

    ETA Sorry not sure why that uploaded side ways, but I can't seem to fix it.
