All right, so the sleeves on these Christian Lacroix for Rosa Clara wedding dresses may not be all that long, but they certainly are wide!
Funny thing – I’m not sold on big sleeves (though I’ll fight to the death for your right to wear them) but I do like a wedding dress that’s rather reminiscent of the 1930s, yet not mired in them. Maybe it’s the materials? Muslin, organza, crepeline and lace meet fine stones and mother-of-pearl pailletes, turning out a luxurious and still oddly down-to-earth set of wedding dresses.
What do you think? The 80s are back with a vengeance, so why not the sleeves that were in some ways their signature?
I’m not a fan of big sleeves either, but those dresses are gorgeous.
I don’t mind the sleeves, it’s the bow that’s killing it for me. I just want to rip it off.
I think these work because the dresses themselves are rather slender and formfitting. I agree, this is one of those things that I don’t think I should like, but actually do.
I really like the bottom dress in particular, but I agree with ChristianeF about the bow. It’s completely distracting and I want it to go away!
I agree with Toni. If you described these dresses to me, I’d say “hate”, but they’re very pretty. They’d be prettier without the bow, but I like them even with bows.
Yikes, I wore a similar style dress, not as gorgeous maybe, and yes it was in the 80s.
I still have the dress if anyone wants to borrow it for their 80s flashback wedding.
Gah. The 80s.
This evening dress is really beautiful !
