Our incredible designer Veni loves meeting mothers of the bride looking for their dream outfit. At a recent meeting at the 50^th birthday of Mary’s of Enfield she met with ladies who we particularly conscious of their arms and wanted to cover them up for an upcoming wedding. Finding a long sleeve option for a spring or summer wedding can be a tricky task as many dresses designed for this time of year feature shorter sleeves. So, to help mothers of the bride or groom in search of long sleeve styles, Veni has put together a list of her favourite mother of the bride dresses with sleeves from her latest 2022 collection.

Style 991862 is a perfect example of a long sleeve dress that's suited to the warmer seasons. A long blouson sleeve offers a light and airy look that is ideal for summer days. Paired with a high neck, delicate lace waistband and an A-line silhouette, this dress oozes elegance. Available in seven fabulous colours, this style is a firm favourite.

If you're looking to cover up but would still like your look to reflect the time of year then a modest ¾ length sleeve is a great choice.
