  • Sheer Illusion Sleeves: Long, fitted sleeves made from sheer mesh, often adorned with delicate beading or lace, are a top choice for a sophisticated and alluring look.
  • Romantic Puff Sleeves: For a touch of fairy-tale romance, soft puff sleeves are a major trend, adding a whimsical and feminine detail to any gown.
  • Classic Cap Sleeves: A timeless choice, the sweet cap sleeve provides a touch of coverage at the shoulder for a look that is always elegant and graceful.

Your Sleeve Dress Questions, Answered

1. Can I wear gloves with a sleeved dress?
This can be a very chic, high-fashion look! The key is balance. Opera gloves pair best with simple, fitted long sleeves or cap sleeves. Avoid pairing them with puff sleeves or heavily embellished sleeves, as the two details can compete.

2. Are long sleeves hot for a spring prom?
Not necessarily! Many modern long-sleeved gowns are made from lightweight, breathable illusion mesh. This gives you the elegant look of a long sleeve without the heavy feel of a thicker fabric, making it comfortable for a spring event.

3. How do I find my size in a Dress with Sleeves?
In addition to bust, waist, and hips, you may need your bicep and sleeve length measurements. We strongly recommend using our official measurement guide. After you order, our stylists will personally contact you to discuss the fit.
