Mmm, we love a party frock with sleeves. Not only because sleeves cover our arms (which most of us agree is A Good Thing), but because we know we can look endlessly glamorous in a party frock with sleeves
Of course, we love all party frocks; party frocks in black; party frocks in bold colour, and party frocks that are not actually frocks but party separates.
But most of all we love a party frock with sleeves.
And this season sleeves are definitely A Thing (sorry, A Trend.). There are long, short, bracelet and, of course, flute sleeves. There are sleeves that put our shoulders on show with bardot necklines and cold-shoulders, and then there are embellished, lace, sheer and ruffle-trimmed sleeves.
So while we may once have felt that if we wanted sleeves, we were missing out on fabulous party-wear, now we don’t because they are right on trend. And not an afterthought. In fact, they are a vital part of so many fabulous frocks we don’t know where to start to show you all our favourites…
