Long or Three-Quarter Sleeves
…Long sleeves may be provided as part of the dress, or as a separate jacket as shown here.
***Perfect fit***
Use long sleeves to draw attention to your upper body, for example if you have fuller hips. Long sleeves will also conceal larger arms, and cover square shoulders, provided that they are loose rather than close fitting. A pretty design will distract the eye from any imperfections. Long sleeves will also save you from getting goose bumps if you have a winter wedding.
What to avoid
If you have well-toned arms, flaunt them! It would be a shame to cover them up with long sleeves, however pretty the material might be. Don't use long sleeves if you have a petite figure, because they will make your arms look longer and out of scale with the rest of you.
Short Sleeves
…Short sleeves are ideal if you need to cover your shoulders. A tailored short sleeve can balance your look if you are pear shaped, and can square up rounded shoulders if you use a shoulder pad.
***Perfect fit***
Use short sleeves to show off well-toned arms. They will help balance small shoulders, too. Short sleeves help break up the line, so if you are tall, short sleeves together with a suitable dress shape will make you look shorter.
What to avoid
Keep larger arms covered up by choosing long sleeves, preferably with a looser fit. If you have broad shoulders, this style will emphasize them.
Spaghetti Straps
…Spaghetti straps create a frame for a pretty neck and minimise big shoulders. if you are heavy busted then opt for a thicker strap as thin ones can create an unsightly red mark.
***Perfect fit***
Show off well-toned arms and beautiful shoulders and neck by choosing spaghetti straps. These have a young and modern look and are very attractive. Use a strapless bra
with spaghetti straps so that there are no distractions.
What to avoid
Keep angular shoulders or large arms covered up. Spaghetti straps also emphasize the neck, so be sure it looks good if you choose them. You can also use a necklace effectively to compliment the straps.
