Frequently Asked Questions About Mother of the Bride Dresses with Sleeves
Which sleeve length is most flattering for mature arms?
Three-quarter sleeves tend to be universally flattering, ending at the narrowest part of the forearm. However, the most flattering option depends on your personal comfort and body proportions. Cap sleeves work wonderfully for toned arms, while long sleeves provide full coverage with elegance. Our consultants help you determine which length enhances your best features.
Can sleeves be added to a sleeveless dress I love?
Often, yes! Our skilled alterations department can add various sleeve styles to many sleeveless designs. The feasibility depends on the dress's construction and neckline. Cap sleeves and illusion sleeves are typically easier to add than structured long sleeves. During your appointment, we'll identify which gowns can be modified to include your preferred sleeve style.
Are sleeved dresses more expensive than sleeveless options?
Not necessarily. While intricate beaded or lace sleeves may add to a gown's cost, many sleeved designs are comparably priced to sleeveless options. The price typically reflects the designer, fabric quality, and embellishments rather than the presence of sleeves. Our collection includes sleeved gowns across all price ranges.
How do I choose between different sleeve styles?
Consider these factors: venue formality, season and climate, your comfort with arm exposure, the wedding's religious or cultural requirements, and your personal style preferences. Also think about practical elements like movement during dining and dancing. Our consultants excel at helping you weigh these factors to make the perfect choice.
What undergarments work best with sleeved mother of the bride dresses?
The ideal undergarments depend on your specific dress design. For sheer sleeves, consider a coordinating camisole or slip. Structured sleeves often work well with smoothing undergarments that create clean lines. Long sleeves may require minimal undergarments for comfort. We'll discuss the best options during your fitting to ensure you feel confident and comfortable.
