dress

Any one seen pictures of dresses with sleeves? Mr tells me today that 'sleeveless dresses look disgusting'... THANKS mr tactful lol... im not that skinny so those tiny slender sleeves wouldnt really fit that great.. and i dont think the romeo and juliet type dress would be all that great

thanks for your help!!

I'm not too sure where you could find a dress with sleeves, but maybe an alternative would be a little "sweater" that cover the arms. I know I have seen them on different bridal websites as an accessory to your gown. Sorry I can't help more. Good luck!

Out of all the dress stores I went to, I didn't see any dresses with sleeves! My aunt had a dress with sleeves when she got married 12 years ago..haven't seen one since. I would suggest getting a nice bolero that has sleeves, or you could definitely have a seamstress put some one. Good luck!! :)

I bought one with short sleeves, I'm not into the sleeveless look either.
latterdaybride.com  has tons! They aren't cheap knock-offs either, just the modest versions of gowns by various designers.

I bought 'bellissimo', it's actually '1900' by Casablanca, just with short sleeves.

I know you can do custom orders with some bridal stores too. The Casablanca site has the option to change the necklines, add sleeves, etc.

you could find a shrug or bolero.  I hate sleeveless but I'm sucking it up for our wedding.  Now I just have to work on my farmers tan..or as we like to call it here in New Jersey..benny tan...lol

I'd check out a bolero, or some wedding shops/sites have a "modest" section. Also, if you can find a location that caters to Latter Day (Mormon) brides, you may be more likely to find something. You may also try out J.Crew's bridal section (www.jcrew.com), and look for uncommon dress locations. I've seen some GORGEOUS bridesmaids dresses that can easily pass for wedding gowns... at a great cost!
