A long sleeve wedding dress covers the arms to the wrist, from sheer illusion lace to puff and detachable sleeves. At Lace & Liberty sleeves are customizable: we can add sleeves, including removable ones, to existing designs, and every gown is made to your measurements, from $1,500.

From our brides

“I LOVE my dress. It was so comfortable and I felt radiant. Ali my designer helped me with design, fabric selection, and made sure the sketches aligned with my vision. I will treasure my dress forever, even more so as it’s one-of-a-kind.”

— Kristen T.

Long Sleeve Wedding Dresses: frequently asked questions

Can I add long sleeves to any wedding dress?

In most cases, yes. Based on any existing design we can add sleeves, including removable sleeves, and your designer will advise on sleeve style and length so the design stays balanced.

Are detachable sleeves an option?

Yes. The Sydney, for example, is a French Alençon lace mermaid gown with detachable sleeves, and the Marina comes with a matching long-sleeve lace topper you can take off for the reception.

What sleeve styles can I choose?

Popular options include sheer illusion lace sleeves, lace sleeves with appliqué, puff sleeves, off-the-shoulder sleeves and long-sleeve toppers. You can explore combinations in our dress builder.

Can I customize a long sleeve wedding dress from your collection?

Yes. Every dress is made in your own measurements and proportions. Based on any existing design we can change the neckline shape, choose a different lining color, add removable sleeves and straps, add support, specify the train length and more.

How much does a custom long sleeve wedding dress cost?

Lace & Liberty custom gowns range from $1,500 to $5,500, and most brides spend $2,000–$3,500. Customizations to an existing collection design start at $250. Get a personalized number with our price estimate.
