Choosing the sleeve
 

The sleeves are a natural component of your wedding dress. However, you can use your option of sleeves to accentuate certain body features or hide them. Here's our guide below:

Sleeve type

T - Shirt Sleeves

These sleeves are the same as seen on T-shirts.

Cap Sleeves

These sleeves are shorter than the T-shirt sleeve, and more rounded.

Off the shoulder Sleeves

These sleeves cover the upper part of the arms while leaving the tops of the shoulders and remaining part of the arms exposed.

3/4 length Sleeves

This sleeves ends in between the elbow and the wrist, it is a great classic.

Spaghetti Straps

These are thin straps with no sleeves at all. A wrap can be used with this sleeve type if you are worried about baring it all.

Body Guides

If you are worried about showing triceps/biceps, the T-shirt sleeve option may be for you or you can go the long haul with long sleeves.

If your arms are on the short side - three-quarter-length sleeves will help to make them look longer, but whatever you do, do not go sleeveless.

If your arms are chubby - go for long simple sleeves, which are not skintight

If your arms ar thin, a spaghettin strap might be right. You can also try the cap sleeves.

If you are big or small-busted, then off the shoulder sleeves removes emphasis from your bust.
