Every bride wants to look beautiful and unique on her wedding day. Since vintage glamour is embarking on the road of modern fashion, sleeves on wedding dresses are more and more popular in recent days. Today, we are introducing several sleeve styles you may love.
Cap: A small, short sleeve which sits on the shoulder, either forming a stiff cap or falling on to the arm to provide minimal coverage.
Tulip: A short sleeve that crisscrosses over the biceps of the arm. Also knows as the petal, crisscrossed or overlapped sleeve.
Gauntlet: A long sleeve featuring a generous pouf at the shoulder/upper arm, then a detachable, glove-like piece which tapers to a fitted point, which is scarcely seen on casual beach wedding dresses.
Balloon: A sleeve shaped full over the upper arm and narrowed from the elbow to wrist. Fuller at the top.
Bishop: A long sleeve which is full below the elbow and gathered or left loose at the wrist.
Bell: A sleeve that is narrow at the armhole and wide and uncuffed at the wrist as seen in choir gowns.
Juliet: A long sleeve featuring a high point at the top of the shoulder; often narrows to a fitted point.
Are you considering a vintage wedding dress? Vintage wedding dresses often feature exquisite details and sleeve styles for a fraction of the price that you’d pay for a comparable modern dress. Wish you a beautiful bride!
