Gowns with sleeves are definitely trendings. Short, long, cap, or even ¾ options are available in a variety of styles. And today, we’re focusing on the ¾-length sleeve.
This sleeve length is the perfect (yet often overlooked) option for a wedding gown. They cover the shoulders and arms, which may be necessary for a more formal ceremony, but keep the bride’s forearms and wrists gracefully bare. It’s a great pairing for those who want coverage or need to be a bit warmer for the season.
Here are 10 of our favorite wedding gowns with ¾ length sleeves.

The illusion, lace sleeves on this design are stunning. And the traditional elements of this gown make it a prime choice for brides all over.
Its natural waistline as well as its combination of lace and satin sheen make it a classic and timeless choice.
If you’re looking for a bit more formality and drama, you can pair this gown with a long veil for added impact.
We envision this beauty walking down a church aisle, in the garden through springtime, or even a gorgeous country club ballroom while dancing the night away.
This gown is sure to be an eyecatcher for anyone who wants to make a big splash on their wedding day.

These three-quarter length sleeves come with a surprise. Pure poise and elegance, we love the drama behind every detail of this gown.
Featuring an ivory-weave crepe, an open back, and a V-neckline, there’s nothing about this gown that doesn’t speak to a bride’s heart as well as her sophisticated style.
It is a great choice for a bride that wants to forgo a veil and become the moment.
What’s great about this gown is that the design can stand on its own without too many accessories at its side.
Casablanca, Ainsley

This dropped-waist Casablanca gown offers the class of Grace Kelly, but with a more youthful glow. We are loving the lace and the bout of sensuality sewn right into its layers.
The Ainsley dress from Casablanca features a neutral-tone stretch chiffon that skims the body’s curves and accentuates all the right areas. While the lace gives the silhouette that ultra bridal feel we all dream about.
And check out those sleeves giving both coverage and elegance to the overall design. Don’t forget to check the back with its low, scooping lines.

Maggie Sottero is renowned in the world of wedding dress designers, and there’s a reason for that. Just look at the McKenzie gown!
The ruching and bustle on this gown gives any bride the appearance of curves and feminine lines.
It’s a bit more classic in style – but we love the surprise of the back.
Button details and soft, lace layers, it’s a dream of a design for our springtime brides. Just imagine walking down an outdoor aisle in this beauty.
Pair with billowing flowers and loose hair for a boho edge.
Or add a sleek bun to create a more modern air.

We are placing the fun sleeves of the Jackie dress in the category of ¾ length since they aren’t full coverage! And they are such a fun addition to this sexy design, don’t you think?
Not only does this gown come in a variety of sizes, but it’s fit for the body of all because of its complimentary silhouette. It features an asymmetrically draping and a soft net fabric.
And those detachable sleeves have pearl detailing that will make you swoon. It’s a memory-making ensemble for sure!

Here is a soft and delicate bridal beauty from Justin Alexander.
The Sabrina dress features a combination of both lace and chiffon – which adds to the feminine charm.
The silhouette is that of the versatile A-line variety and there’s a short train as well.
This gown is truly a great choice for so many different kinds of weddings including destinations or a vow renewal.
It’s great for curvy brides, more sophisticated brides, or those looking for something on the more traditional side of the trends.

This Theia dress features wide bell sleeves – the perfect fit for a boho bride. The lace, the billowing details, it’s a beautiful choice for our spring or autumn brides that want to evoke a sense of Mother Nature within their day.
Forgo the veil and play up the uniqueness of the overall design. It’s a bit nontraditional, and that’s okay, especially for our more carefree of brides.
As an older design, you’ll have great luck finding this dress through our preowned markets.
Watters, Frederique

Here’s another stunner that we truly believe Grace Kelly herself would approve of.
The Frederique design showcases those delicate, three-quarter length sleeves and a gorgeous lace bodice.
The skirt is flowing and layers, perfect for the dance floor and a twirl here or there.
We love it paired with an updo hairstyle so the veil can melt into the ensemble with ease.
The dress comes in either ivory upon ivory or ivory upon a neutral skin tone – both options are beautiful.
Pronovias, Danakil

We have another bohemian-inspired design on the list. Just look at these gorgeous, billowing sleeves!
The movement is so romantic and carefree – we’re in love.
The Danakil design from Pronovias is a showstopper.
It features chiffon, a natural waistline, a small bout of lace detail, and micro-sequins.
The train is extra-long for a dramatic effect and the sleeves are detachable!
The combination of practicality and elegance is one of the reasons why we’ve added the Danakil gown to this list.
Monique Lhullier, Ambrosia

This Monique Lhullier ball gown is an absolute dream. Dipped in blush with a delicate, puff of fabric in all directions – you will feel like you are absolutely floating.
We love the princess quality. It provides that fairy-tale appeal that so many little girls daydream about when growing up and thinking about their one-day wedding.
