Every bride has a preference to the type of gown sleeve they wear, so choose a style that you will be comfortable with and one that will compliment the gown.

	Capped Sleeves These gown sleeves are a dainty short, fitted sleeve that barely covers the top of the arm, this style looks best on toned arms.
	Illusion Sleeve This sleeve is made from a sheer fabric or lace that contours the arm. It is quite often decorated with beads and sequins. This sleeve can be long or short giving a gown a formal look.
	Poet Sleeve Fitted sleeve to the elbow and then full down to the wrist with ruffles or pleats at the ends.
	Fitted Sleeve The fitted sleeve hugs the arm from the shoulder to the wrist.
	Balloon Sleeve A very full, billowy sleeve that ends at the elbow. It is important that this sleeve type is proportioned correctly, not only to the dress but also your height and weight, because they can look over done if not made correctly.
	Leg of Mutton or Juliet Bell Sleeve Puffy at the shoulder and just below the elbow, and then fitted to the wrist.
	Bell Sleeve A long sleeve that is tapered down the arm and then it flares at the wrist in the shape of a bell. Often featured on medieval or Gothic dresses.
