    Wedding Gown: Sleeve Glossary

    Having been worried about your wedding day because your biceps are a little strong more than normal? Stop stressing and arm yourself with our guide to flattering sleeve styles. You'll be baring them with confidence in no time.
    T-Shirt Sleeves
    As the name indicates, these sleeves look like those on your favorite T-shirt -- a good plus size casual wedding dresses option for brides who want to cover their upper arms but don't want to go all the way (long sleeves). If you're self-conscious about baring your triceps/biceps, this option may be for you.
    Cap Sleeves
    Shorter than a T-shirt sleeve, more rounded and therefore a little more baring. Best on women with fairly slender or well-toned upper arms.
    Knot note
    Keep in mind that many wedding dresses online are also available with illusion (sheer) sleeves, which will make you feel covered up, though you won't necessarily look it.
    Off-the-Shoulder Sleeves
    These sleeves cover the upper part of the arms while leaving the tops of the shoulders and décolletages exposed. This vintage wedding gowns style flatters lots of women -- big- and small-busted brides alike. And the sleeves cover enough of the upper arm to make almost anyone comfortable.
    3/4-Length Sleeves
    Ending midway between the elbow and the wrist, this sleeve style has a classic, ladylike feel. It's an elegant look in bridal -- cool, yet covered!
    Spaghetti Straps
    Skinny straps with no sleeves attached. This style is reserved for those who are genetically blessed, spend lots of time pumping iron, or just want to look sexy in her designer wedding dresses! If you're the least bit arm-shy, consider pairing this look with a wrap.
    Have you now been an expert on the sleeves? Have you already chosen the best one for yourself? Now, go ahead!
