How are you find sleeves for your wedding dress?

Olivia, on February 26, 2024 at 9:16 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 7
Are any of you having luck with finding sleeves for your wedding dress? I found a strapless dress that will be my dress - just want to add some sleeves to spice it up a bit. I’ve looked at all the major vendors (Olivia Bottega, Maggie Sottero, Justin Alexander, etc) and Etsy, but can’t quite find what I’m looking for. Just wondering if anyone else is having a tough time.

    I've seen detachable sleeves on Amazon, Etsy, even Shein. You can also opt for search terms: bridal jacket, bolero, bridal topper, bishop sleeves, fingerless gloves, wedding bell sleeves, fairy sleeves, bubble, puff, pearl, tulle, off the shoulder, removable sleeves, sleeve sewing patterns, bridal wrap. Good luck.

    I’ve seen them on Etsy, though it can be a challenge getting the search terms right! I was planning on sleeves and ended up with a cape instead!

    you can try your own AI search. I will share some results of a Bing AI Chat. Some issues might include color matching and matching lace. I would think to get white illusion sleeves, or possibly a contrast color if you go with short sleeves. Another option to consider would be detached sleeves.

    Here is a trimmed down response from Bing AI. you might notice how personal the response is. Here you go (with this trimmed down response):

    Certainly! Adding sleeves to your wedding dress is a wonderful way to customize your bridal look. Here are some options for adding sleeves, along with where you can find them:


    1. **Detachable Sleeves**:

    - Detachable sleeves are a versatile choice. You can easily attach or remove them as needed.

    - Look for detachable bridal straps made of tulle or lace. These can be sewn into your dress by a seamstress.

    - **Where to Find**: Check out **Etsy** for options like **BeMyCinderellaEtsy**'s removable cap sleeves in white, ivory, or champagne⁶.


    2. **Beaded Cap Sleeves**:

    - If you prefer a touch of sparkle, consider beaded cap sleeves.

    - **Where to Find**: Explore **KrusnaDesign**'s elegant beaded shoulder straps⁶.


    3. **Off-the-Shoulder Sleeves**:

    - Off-the-shoulder sleeves are flirty and elegant.

    - They highlight your collarbone and allow comfortable movement.


    5. **Bolero or Cape**:

    - Instead of altering your dress, consider wearing a lace bolero or cape.

    - It provides the illusion of sleeves without permanently modifying your gown.

    - **Where to Find**: Explore various bridal boutiques and online retailers for boleros or capes.

    Careful, AI searches are known for hallucinating results.

    I did a drug check on it before asking the question. Basically, the links probably are real or were real. If they don't give the information needed, try again.
