Love strapless, but prefer sleeves! I have plenty of tattoos that I would love to have on show, but chubby arms. That's why I think a 3/4 sleeve is absolutely perfect.

My dress is strapless... which I LOVE! But, I think sleeve can be just as elegant.

I love sleeves on wedding dresses!! That was my dream but I ended up falling in love with a high-neck illusion halter neckline instead 🤷🏼‍♀️

I thought I wanted starpless but I found my dress. It's sleeveless but not strapless with an illusion neck line. It's gorgeous

I'm having straps attached to the sleeveless dress.

In the beginning I wanted sleeves or at least straps but I couldn't say no to a beautiful sweetheart neckline.

Sleeves or strapless as long as it’s sexy... I think either 🤪

Don't don't don't want strapless. that was the big thing I told my stylist when I went dress shopping. I looked at a few cap sleeves, but ended up loving the halter I found, so I went with no sleeves, but it's still got coverage up top and I feel safe and secure like my dress isn't going anywhere.

I prefer sleeves, mostly because I am small chested. If I wore a strapless dress, I feel like I would be pulling it up constantly.

Sleeves of some kind, although I'm going cold shoulder.

Sleeves of some sort all the way. Even though I get hot very easily, I would never wear a strapless dress because I am too topheavy to support one without it falling off and flashing people.

This heavily goes by season and what the weather is going to be. I like both, but my dress is sleeveless
