Knowing the types of sleeves available will help you in your perfect wedding gown search.
Capped sleeves - hug just at the top of the shoulder.
Petal sleeves - two pieces of fabric that overlap on the upper arm, creating what looks like a flower petal.
Juliet sleeves - puff around the upper arm and then are fitted down to the wrist.
Poet sleeves - fitted down to the forearm then flare out.
Bell sleeves - long, fitted sleeves that flare gently at the wrist.
Bishop sleeves - full through the forearm and gather by the wrist at the cuff.
