Should i add sleeves?

Jade, on October 13, 2019 at 8:58 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 3
I have always wanted long sleeves on my wedding dress and picked a winter wedding so that I could wear sleeves comfortably. the dress I picked only has capped sleeves, but they told me they could add sleeves if I wanted to. I initially said no because I didn’t feel comfortable ordering a dress not knowing what the finished product would look like. Well the designer just released his new collection and there is this one dress with a top just like mine and sleeves and it’s so gorgeous. I want to call and ask if it’s too late to add sleeves but now Im worried that the sleeves will clash with the cape that I’m wearing and if I add sleeves there’s no going back and I already ordered the cape. Should I risk it and get sleeves or just stick with the capped sleeves I have now??

    I say go for it! I was in the same dilemma and I went for it and I couldn’t be any happier with how it turned out! It looks like the sleeves came with my dress 💗 I hope these pictures help you see that it’s possible!

    Hey Jordyn!

    It’s difficult to say without seeing your dress, but if you have always dreamed about having a long-sleeved dress, then I can see why you are seriously considering making this call.

    Perhaps you could drop into the bridal salon that you bought your dress from to find out how far along in the production of your dress is. That way you will be able to know at least whether adding sleeves is still a possibility or if it’s too late.

    I don’t think that long sleeves, however, would clash with a cape! I think it sounds amazing and very in keeping with your winter wedding.
