Sleeves or no sleeves? Lace or satin? help 1
This is my wedding dress. I'm making it into a sweetheart neckline. My issue is the sleeves, I don't like them. I have no idea what sleeves to put on the dress, or if it should be strapless. I'm really tiny, barely have a bra size LOL. I'm so indecisive I need help please!

    What do you think about tulle off shoulder? Upu can wear push up in that dress. Or epaulette? There are many different epaulette types.

    It’s lovely, but it would take away the details on the bodice. Check etsy. They have nice sew on sleeves. Many material to choose from.

    I think it'll look cute off the shoulder

    You might be able to make those sleeves off the shoulder. Are they detachable?

    Hi Patricia!! I'd ask your seamstress or tailor once you start alterations, but I think you have several options!!

    I'd see if you can move those sleeves to an off-the-shoulder sleeve, replace the straps with a different style like a thin jeweled strap, or remove them entirely (especially because you don't need them for support)!

    Like Belle said, Etsy has a tons of options for bridal straps & sleeves to customize your dress!

    You can also browse through WeddingWire's Dresses Catalog for inspiration! I've narrowed down our featured styles to only A-line dresses with a sweetheart neckline so you can see the various gowns and how they're style with straps, sleeves, or nothing at all!
