Short to Long

You can always take it to a seamstress and see if they can add a sleeve with the existing material. I've heard if there is something there to attach material to they typically can add some form of a sleeve. I took my dress to a seamstress to have the see through bodice lined and to add more structure to the top of the dress to add more cup support. I bought my dress at David's Bridal and they wouldn't do these things but an outside seamstress was more than happy to do it.

Definitely! There are jackets you can add, or lace shirt-type tops you can wear over top of your dress that will totally transform the look. My sister looked at lots of these options and there really is a lot out there. Do you want lace or another fabric? Long sleeves or 3/4 sleeves?
