Via Grace Loves Lace
Plunging Neckline…
If you’re looking to make a statement, try a combination of a plunging neckline and long fitted sleeves. This is such an easy way to keep the illusion of a modest dress while still bearing some skin with the cutout. Sultry and sweet, you are sure to turn heads with this stunning ensemble.
Sparkling Silhouette…
This A-line dress is designed to slim at the waist and curve at the hips. The flowing bottom half accentuates the slim fit of the waist, with the long sleeves adding to this delicate design. The cuffed bishop sleeve fits perfectly with the dramatic silhouette the dress gives. Adding embellishments with sparkle and lace is the easiest way to draw attention without overdoing it on the accessories. These sleeves are the only accessory you need!
Brilliant Bohemian…
These dramatic sleeves are sure to make a statement! The long, cascading detail gives an effortless and whimsical feel to the wedding dress. These flowing sleeves create a bohemian charm that is perfectly complemented with unique flowers and accessories to draw attention to the overall grace of the style.
Modern Twist…
Sometimes less is more… in this case we totally agree! This gorgeous style remains simple yet elegant with small details that create a twist to the traditional wedding dress. The use of sheer sleeves with embellishments is the easiest way to wear long sleeves without the commitment! It sets this dress apart from the rest, showing off a bit of skin but remaining very classic and stylish.
Simple and clean…
Whether or not you choose to have a wedding dress entirely covered in lace, incorporating the delicate fabric into the sleeves of the dress is always a stunning idea. The appeal is the dainty and elegant structure of the material. With so much versatility, your sleeves can flow off your arm or stay tight and against it, accentuating the natural shape.
Dazzling Embellishments…
Accessorise with sleeves! Why stop your embellishments just at the dress? This glittering detail adds beautiful texture with the pieces standing out against your skin when added to a sheer sleeve. This design is so elegant and flattering, with the perfect amount of luxurious glamour.
Stunning Silver…
Luscious Lace…
A more full and covered dress can be both comfortable and flattering. If you’re choosing to spin the simple style, adorning it in lace makes for a classic yet contemporary design. These sleeves are less sheer and draw more attention to the dress rather than away from it. This is perfect for the bride that wants the sleeves without taking away from her stunning gown.
Striking Sheer…
These ultra sheer sleeves are the perfect modern twist on the wedding dress. The dress overall is a relatively simple style, with a plunging v-neckline and fitted waist. However, it is the effortless sleeves that make the statement, cascading like a veil over your arms. This statement sleeve is so clean yet elegant.
Fitted and Flowing…
Fitted sleeves that contrast perfectly against a flowing silhouette are a stand out! The dress seems never ending, with the lace climbing up the décolletage and cascading down the arms. This ties in the style perfectly without overpowering the rest of the dress.
Off the Shoulder…
Sleeves that are off the shoulder draw attention to the décolletage and add an instant elegance to the style. This glam yet feminine design draws your eyes to the silhouette of the dress, with the sleeves accenting the gown perfectly. The streamline from the tight bodice is matched by the sleeve with the flowing wrist mimicking the dresses sweeping fabric.
Mermaid lace…
This mermaid style shapes the body perfectly, cinching the waist in and accentuating the natural curve of the hips before flowing towards the feet. This style is sexy and chic, but combined with the high neck and long sleeve, offers the appearance of a more conservative dress. Completely covered by lace, these sleeves create the perfect illusion of a simple but sensual dress.
3/4 Sleeve…
This simple sleeve is the perfect way to complement a classic A-line dress. The deep plunging v-neckline contrast against the 3/4 sleeve keeping a sleek and modest style without providing complete coverage. Paired with an exposed back, the sleeve style adds an elegant touch to the gorgeous gown!
