  20. Love the refined look of long sleeves (almost wore one for my wedding!)

  21. I love the option of having sleeves. Nobody wants to see a woman over a certain age in a sleeveless gown. It's just not attractive.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I've never been one to like long sleeves, but I have to admit, these gowns are all gorgeous!

  23. That first Akris gown is so beautiful! Great post!
