Covering Up

Don't want to expose too much when you walk down the aisle? Here are some dress style and accessory suggestions to help you cover up in style. By Sara Kornacki

Cap sleeve: This little sleeve covers the top of the arm to about the mid-bicep, making it a great option if you don't want to sheath your entire arm.

Off the shoulder sleeve: The sleeve covers the upper part of the arm while leaving the top of your shoulders exposed. Stylish and sexy, this sleeve allows you to flash a dash of skin, without worrying about upper-arm wobble when you wave.

Three quarter sleeve: This modern sleeve hits your lower arm in-between your elbow and your wrist. It's less constricting than a full sleeve, but still gives you all the benefits of completely covering up.

Wrap: If you are comfortable with strapless, but want a security blanket, toss a chic pashmina over your shoulders. For summer, try juicy sherbet shades on for size (green, blue, pink or tangerine); for fall, stick with dark, dramatic hues (red, eggplant or bronze). Another option is to have your dressmaker create a wrap in the same fabric as your gown to create a perfect match. For a winter wedding, go ultra-glam by trying a fur (or faux-fur) stole on for size. It will keep you warm and looking simply smashing!
