Hey everyone!!!
When shopping for dresses I loved the off the shoulder sleeve look but when I put this dress on I fell in love with it! I wanted some of your thoughts about adding off the shoulder sleeves to this dress. My only concern is the straps go up kind of high with the lace. Would off the shoulder sleeves look right on a dress like this? If so should they attach where the solid part of the dress stopsover the bust or attach up at the top where the lace stops? I don't think this dress has enough structure to totally change to just off the shoulder without the straps which is why I'm trying to see if it would look right to add straps. I attached a picture of off the shoulder straps I found on etsy that I like but I'm not sure if it would match... Any opinions would be greatly appreciated!!

    I think the sleeves could be added at the transition to the open lacing. Hopefully the back side is similar to the front though.

    Shoulder sleeves are so pretty! I would recommend making them not super snug against your arms though, that way they don't restrict your movements. I would suggest trying them with your dress and seeing what you think

    You might also check to sleeves that attach directly to your arms. But maybe that is not the look you are seeking.

    If you're having your dress hemmed then you may be able to use the excess fabric as sleeves then it would be a perfect match! I don't think added little sleeves will look weird and you can always change your mind after Smiley smile
