I LOVE my dress...BUT...pictures provided

[MissMoodyMoo]

So I bought my dress off the rack as it was a sample sale so I saved hundereds and it's absolutely gorgeous 😍😍😍 BUT it's strapless and I want some sort of sleeve 😭 is there anyway I could add sleeves? Wedding isn't until 2020 and the dress was an impulse buy as I didn't want to lose to opportunity as it really is amazing and I know it's my dress but the more I think about it I just can't pull off strapless 😞😞

Wear a bolero of some kind?

It’s a beautiful dress but I don’t see how you could add sleeves.

You could get a gorgeous bolero eg www.bridalknot.co.uk/lace-boleros-wedding-jackets-133-c.asp to wear with it?

Why don’t you think you can wear strapless?

Long sleeved one

You can buy little lace cover ups like this

Short sleeved one

Short sleeved one

It's very pretty What time of year is the wedding?

You can customise in all kinds of ways depending on season and weather.

Talk to a wedding seamstress

I loved it when I tried it on as it was gorgeous! But I'm pregnant now and over the last few weeks I've started to get stretch marks on the back of my arms 😭I know they will go silver but I also know when I have a spray tan they will show up like my previous ones 😞

A good seamstress could easily add straps or sleeves to that

Go to a professional seamstress with your photos and she (or he) will be able to give you options in terms of sleeves if there are any

You can buy lace bodies to go under? I saw them in a bridal shop today!

I had a chiffon sash which I wore over my shoulders and tied at the back so it looked
like sleeves. Let me see if I can find a pic.

Here we go. Just draped and tied loosely at the back.

Just take it to a seamstress, I had straps added to mine no problem.

That's an excellent link which Ikea posted above and there's a drop down with tulle, chiffon and satin boleros on there too. They might be easier to match up with the dress than having a lacy bolero in a different patterned lace.

It's an absolutely beautiful dress!

You can get sleeves to go under your dress. I think shopping channel qvc? Maybe mark and Spencer. Google it, you will find them

Hope it will still fit!

I had straps added to my strapless dress, cap sleeves. It was no bother and done by a seamstress.

A seamstress can easily add sleeves ignore anyone on here who says otherwise I promise.

You could get a seamstress to add an illusion top with or without sleeves

Like this or with more lace or longer sleeves, it would cover any silvery stretch marks but not be as heavy as a full opaque sleeve

lace jacket. There's plenty on eBay. If the wedding's not until 2020 just wait until you find something you really like.

Search for a 'wedding jacket' if you get one the same colour/lace it will look part of the dress.

I had a bolero made of such similar lace to my dress that you could hardly tell it wasn't part of it.
