If you're attending a wedding, sleeveless dresses are certainly plentiful, but there are also virtually endless wedding guest dresses with sleeves. Here are just a few of our favorites:

Long-Sleeve Wedding Guest Dresses

Long-sleeve dresses are perfect for Fall and Winter weddings, or if you’ll be in a heavily air-conditioned space for a long time. Long sleeves can be thicker and warm, or light and airy. Gauzy and semi-sheer long sleeves are a romantic touch, which we love for a wedding look.

Three-Quarter Sleeve Wedding Guest Dresses

A ¾ sleeve is a nice practical choice if you’re worried about dipping your sleeves in cake or accidentally getting caught in a candle, so we like the ¾ sleeve for when we aren’t in the mood for long sleeves.

Half-Sleeve Wedding Guest Dresses

Half-sleeves are a sophisticated option that can make a simple dress look extra chic. Half sleeves are a lovely choice for formal and black tie weddings where you don’t want to go sleeveless, but still want to have a powerful fashion moment.

Short-Sleeve Wedding Guest Dresses

Short sleeves are a sweet, feminine detail that adds a little bit of romance to your wedding guest look. Whether form-fitting or ruffled, a short-sleeved dress is a nice choice for a garden wedding, spring and summer occasions, and intimate micro-weddings.

Off-the-Shoulder Wedding Guest Dresses

An off-the-shoulder wedding guest dress is perfect for a cocktail hour wedding, or a late-evening event. Sophisticated and chic, off-shoulder dresses show off your shoulders and are a fun way to be unique without detracting from the bride.

One-Shoulder Wedding Guest Dresses

Speaking of being unique: enter the one-shoulder dress! We love the asymmetrical vibes of a one-sleeve, whether it’s short, medium, or long, and this look is perfect for a wedding for a fun and quirky couple.
