You know what you rarely see on wedding gowns? SLEEVES! Sure, you can always find a nice bolero or lacy jacket to pair with your strapless dress to give the illusion of sleeves, but finding a gown with the sleeves already attached isn't always the easiest task.
We hunted down seven inexpensive sleeved dress options that are pretty sweet… with a few exceptions, these are all way under $500.
Those aren't the only sleeved wedding gown options out there — we've got an entire post archive full of 'em. If you know of other great sleeved dresses available online, share links in the comments!

I just bought it for my reception dress – it’s more pinky-champagne in person than in the pictures on the site, but still gorgeous!
Welp. There’s the dress I shoulda bought.
I was JUST about to point this one out! I’m so bummed I didn’t buy it when I first saw it. It ran out of stock so quickly. :'(
I love the Grace Charmeuse dress but the link doesn’t work 🙁
Crap, looks like between the time when this post was written, and when it was published, shopruche.com stopped carrying the dress.
In fact, looking at the dress manufacturer’s website, the white Grace dress may have been discontinued: http://www.queenofheartz.com/bridal.html
I have been wondering if Ruche is ever going to reopen their bridal section??? What is up with that? I need cute, affordable, vintagey bridal stuff!
I think their new bridal line will be out soon!

I know, it actually looks a lot like my mums wedding dress. Disappointed to see it is discontinued.
This is my dress: https://www.etsy.com/listing/175812218/long-sleeves-lace-short-wedding-dress-v?ref=sr_gallery_32&ga_search_query=long+sleeve+lace+wedding+dress&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=US&ga_ref=auto1&ga_search_type=all
but I love the above Gilded Grace dress!!! Too bad they are out of my size or I would have worn that to our elopement and this one to our celebration party.
it is s beautiful! It’s basicly the dress I was searching the internet for. What type of chiffon is it ? Is it made of synthetic fabric? Is it itchy? How does it fit?
Do you know anything about the maker?
Great dress Dove, I just pinned it:)
I’m so happy to see this! Arm modesty is important in a lot of cultures and all too often people who want to even make a gesture in that direction don’t have very good options. But these are all super cute!
A note on ordering a dress from China – order a size up if you’re in America. I’ve ordered several pieces of clothing from “off-shore” websites, and they always run small.
You can always have the dress tailored down, but tailoring it to fit larger is a bit more of a challenge.
Or- if you have a strapless gown- there is a shop on Etsy that sells removable straps, cap sleeves etc……it’s called ‘Rosemarydesignsbride’
They have a number of styles- or will custom make them to match your gown
