Wedding and evening dresses with bell sleeves

The bell sleeve expands to the bottom edge, but its length, transparency and removability depend on the specific model. On the fitting, find the opening point, compare the width and symmetry, check the movement of the hands and elbows, as well as the contact of the edge with the decor, bouquet and table surface.

The line of the bell sleeve changes along the arm: from the calmer upper part, it gradually or more sharply diverges downwards. The key here is where the expansion starts and the actual width of the edge. The name of the form does not determine the length, transparency, removal, freedom of movement or belonging to the boho style.

Magnificent sleeve creates volume around a certain area of ​​the arm, often through assembly; the bell is recognized precisely by the opening to the lower edge. He can be long, but this is a separate characteristic. Similarly, the form does not confirm that the sleeve belongs to removable: check the fastening method and completeness in the model card.

Lower your hands and compare whether the right and left expansion begin at the same or different heights. Then bend your elbows, turn your hands, take a bouquet and sit at the table: trace where the wide edge goes and whether it touches objects. If the sleeve is made of lace, match the direction of the drawing; if present beads, examine its contact with the fabric of the dress and accessories without tension. On samples in CRYSTAL ask for a short video in front and profile: it will show the edge width and movement more accurately than a static frame.
