Illusion Lace Sleeves

Everyone loves the classic appeal of a long-sleeved wedding dress, but you can add an artful twist to your look with illusion mesh! Sheer mesh sleeves paired with a layer of lace creates the visual illusion of ivory appliqués dreamily floating above bare skin, as shown above in Shirley by Pronovias.
Off-the-Shoulder Sleeves
