    DB has a lot of shrugs, sleeves and capes if you want to see what it would look like.


    But I think your arms look absolutely fine and I like your dress as is.

    Your dress is pretty I wouldn't add sleeves. But I also am not a fan of sleeves on wedding dresses lol

    I love your dress as is! I love the mix of detail bodice and plain skirt!


    Something to consider is sometimes sleeves can actually draw the eye to arms because of the intricate details. Whereas your dress as is draws eyes to your face and then to the details in the fabric and the stark difference between bodice and skirt.
    But do whatever makes you feel most confident and beautiful!

    Your dress is soooo pretty! You look great in it, and I don't think you need a thing. If you do want you could get a wrap or shrug and wear it at the ceremony, and if you love it keep it on. If not take it off. Or don't wear it at all. Just go with what you're feeling at the time!

    I completely agree. When I look at your dress, I do not even look at your arms. Just all the beautiful details of the dress. When you add sleeves (especially lace illusion sleeves) that is the first place my eyes go to. I think adding something like that is actually going to draw attention to your arms instead of mask them. Plus, I don’t see anything wrong with your arms at all! You look fabulous in the sleeveless dress!

    I added removable sleeves to my dress! That way you can decide if you want to keep them all night or not.

    Your arms are perfectly beautiful. I love your dress! It is gorgeous. No one is going to be looking at your arms…..

    I personally love it without the sleeves and think you look absolutely stunning, but an illusion sleeve would also be really pretty!

    I think you look incredible in your dress, and would be a little nervous to start major alterations this close to your wedding date!!

    I think looking at toppers, shrugs, and boleros is a great compromise and gives you options!! Definitely check out the selections by BHLDN and David's Bridal!
