Found! Mother of the Bride Dresses With Sleeves!

Style and color are important when choosing the right Mother of the Bride dress. Finding a dress that covers the arms is also at the top of many women’s wish lists. No worries if you prefer to camouflage the jiggly bits on your upper arms. There are lots of options out there. Let’s take a look.

1. Long Sleeves

For some women, nothing short of a full sleeve will do. Plus-size mother-of-the-bride dresses with sleeves are particularly popular for women who carry extra weight in their arms. The only drawback is that long sleeves can be hot. Plus, they don’t look as delicate as you may like for an affair as romantic and sentimental as a wedding.

If you know that you want arm coverage, there are more subtle ways to achieve that. Usually, women only fret about the upper part of the arm, so here’s how to cover that.

2. Sheer Sleeves

This is an excellent trick many celebrities use. Instead of long, opaque sleeves, they wear evening gowns and cocktail dresses with sheer sleeves. A gown with see-through sleeves gives the illusion of coverage but looks light and airy. It’s the perfect Mother of the Bride or Mother of the Groom dress with sleeves.

Lace sleeves are another great solution. A lace sleeve like this will contain the jiggle but make your dress look romantic and feminine.

4. Elbow or 3/4 Length Sleeves

A 3/4 length sleeve dress is a favorite with the Mother of the Bride. You still show some skin, but in all the right places.

5. Full Sleeves

If your arms are complete, a regular-width lace sleeve or a sheer sleeve may be too tight, so a great option is a dress with mid-length full sleeves.

Here’s a great way to cover up and look stylish. Many sleeveless dresses come with a matching jacket to cover the arms. Take a look at these two dresses.
