“Where can I find a dress with sleeves to wear to a wedding?” is a question I am frequently asked. I know in the past I have featured one dress at a time, but I have had a lot of requests to group my dresses together by occasion, so I am starting a ‘Six of the best’ series. I’m starting with special occasions – all six of these would be ideal for weddings, christenings or a day at the races.
I think all six dresses would bring a touch of elegance to any occasion – and would definitely make sure that you are stylish over 50!
These particular dresses are all available from John Lewis.
I’ve enjoyed choosing them- I hope you enjoy my ‘new’ dresses with sleeves series 🙂
1. LK Bennett pale quartz dress with sleeves Price: £295
Understated yet elegant.
2. Coast Vivianna purple lace dress with sleeves Price: £160
Love the shape of the sleeves on this one.
3. Adrianna Papell shimmer dress with sleeves Price: £150
Shimmer in style!
4. Alexon lace top dress with sleeves Price: £120
Sleeves don’t have to be long. Wear with confidence.
5. Phase Eight navy tapework dress with sleeves Price £175
Sophisticated and stylish
6. Damsel in a Dress vanilla drop dress Price £120
Lovely detail in the mid-section of the dress to give a flattering silhouette

Loved the suggestions, having just been shopping and found nothing these have given me hope!
How about “summer tops with sleeves and shape” as the next group of 6?
Thanks and all the best M
