Would like to see a real bride in Mori Lee 8203

I'm a size 10-12 in wedding dresses. This was a 10. I felt beautiful in it and I loved the built in bra! However that being said... you can't raise your arms.. like at all! So that means extreme limitations on hugging and dancing. That would be devastating to me so it was a big no.

Omg, so gorgeous! That's a bummer, I need to be able to dance for sure!

That looks gorgeous on you. Any way that the "sleeve" could be removed? Just curious.

It's a beautiful dress. I never tried this one on, but I'm wondering if they can may the sleeves removable? So you can have them on in pictures and for the ceremony, but then remove them for the reception.

I also suggest going to a store and actually trying the dress on yourself. You don't know how a dress will look until you actually try it on.

View Quoted Comment I agree!
While I love the look of the sleeves, I don't think I could commit to a whole day being unable to raise my arms.

I would find a boutique in your area that carries the dress and try it on. 50 brides could post a picture of themselves in the same dress but none would have the same body shape as you, OP.

What a gorgeous dress! Definitely agree, I would have to have the seamstress let out the sleeves a bit so I could dance with it. Good luck OP!

It’s a beautiful dress!

You really have to try on a few different styles when you go to your appointment. A dress on a model/another bride may look totally differently on you. The dresses my daughter thought she'd like were not the style/fabric she chose as her dress.

Its a beautiful dress but I would feel like I can't move around. I would try a few different style and see what you like best.

Didn't try this on because I wanted a ballgown but I LOVE the off the shoulder look. I did buy a Mori Lee and can't recommend the brand enough - my sister also went with Mori. Dress came in so quickly (like one month), great pricing, and quality is amazing. Good luck!

This was my favorite dress until I found my perfect dress. It’s so beautiful!! And for the sleeves, if you can see in the close up picture they are lose but underneath there is a stretchy band. This is so you are able to raise your arms. If you alter it and get it tighter then you won’t be able to raise your arms. Gorgeous dress!

Beautiful dress I’m still looking myself I don’t know what my style is...every say I’ll know once I go try on dresses

Hi I tried this one on and it was without the sleeves, they are clip in and completely optional - you can have them for the ceremony and then remove them for the party if you want (or skip them all together). Loved this dress!

I just bought this dress last weekend! The sleeves at the shop I visited were removable and allowed me to try it off shoulder, over shoulder, and completely removed. It is a GORGEOUS dress.bI'm considered plus size and still loved it on me. The second I came out in it, my whole crew got quiet. And when I saw myself in the mirror, I knew it was the one. Now I'm waiting *not so* patiently for it to come in!

I love Mori Lee...I don’t think I can choose any other brand of dress!!!

Most bridal designers wil customize gowns. its likely that they or a seamstress could make the sleeves detachable! LOVE the dress though!
