Long sleeve wedding guest dresses that fit properly

Most shop wedding guest dresses are sleeveless or short sleeved, and the long sleeve ones are cut for an average arm. If you want sleeves to the wrist, a neckline that stays put when you hug people and a hem that clears the floor without being too short, made to measure is the simplest answer.

The Royal Blue Yoke Dress, the Wisteria Fit-and-Flare, the Emerald Rose Anarkali and the Black Red Roses frock all have long sleeves as drawn. Strappy designs such as the Peacock Feather Gown, the midnight navy frock and the Rose Gold Sequin gown can be made with sleeves and a higher neckline: choose them on the order form and we confirm the change in your written quote.

  • Long sleeves as drawn: Royal Blue Yoke, Wisteria Fit-and-Flare, Emerald Rose Anarkali, Black Red Roses, Lilac Tiered, and the emerald and royal blue frocks with gold and silver work
  • Sheer sleeves that can be lined: the maroon and mauve frocks
  • Strappy evening styles that can take sleeves: Peacock Feather, Rose Gold Sequin, Champagne Lamé and the midnight navy frock

Modest wedding guest dresses

A full sleeve, a high round neck or band collar and an ankle length cover what most modest dress codes ask for, and the embroidery still shows above a hijab. Our modest wedding guest outfits guide and the wider modest dresses page have more ideas.

Formal, evening and Pakistani wedding guest dresses

Not every wedding has the same dress code, so the designs here run from soft daytime frocks to full evening gowns.

Formal and black tie evenings

For a formal reception or a black tie dinner, the burgundy gown with a black lace bodice, the Peacock Feather Gown and the Rose Gold Sequin gown reach the floor. The Champagne Lamé frock is draped at the neck and skirt and looks dressed up without heavy work.

Nikah, mehndi and walima

For a Pakistani or desi wedding, embroidered frocks are the classic guest choice. The marigold and orange frocks are bright enough for a mehndi, and the emerald frock with gold work, the navy frock with silver motifs and the royal blue frock with silver embroidery suit a walima or a reception. Read Pakistani wedding guest outfits in the UK, the mehndi guest outfit ideas and the walima guest outfit ideas, or see desi wedding guest outfits in the USA.

Colours to check with the family

Ivory and white are often kept for the couple, and some families keep red for the wedding party as well, so we have left those out of this page. If you love a design in one of those colours, ask the couple first. Our guide on wearing white to a nikah explains why.

Winter wedding guest dresses

A winter wedding in a cold hall needs weight and sleeves. The royal blue frock has silver work down the front and long sleeves, the wine frock has a gold paisley panel, and the plum frock has gold work on a fitted bodice. Ask for a heavier fabric in your quote, and for the sleeves to be lengthened where a design has short or elbow sleeves.

Our guides to winter wedding guest outfits covers fabrics, layers and what to wear over the top.

Plus size and over 50: cut for you, not for a size chart

Plus size wedding guest dresses are hard to find with sleeves and enough room across the back and upper arm. Because every dress here is cut from your own measurements, the same design works at any size: send your bust, waist, hip, upper arm and length, labelled body or garment, and we cut to those numbers. Our size guide explains what to measure.

If you are shopping for wedding guest dresses over 50, the same choices matter most: a sleeve you are happy with, a neckline you do not have to keep adjusting, and a skirt with room to sit and dance. The Royal Blue Yoke Dress and the Lilac Tiered Dress are easy to wear all day.

FAQ

Wedding guest dresses questions

Can I get a wedding guest dress with long sleeves?

Yes. Every dress and frock on this page can be made with long sleeves, including the strappy evening designs. Choose the sleeve on the order form and we confirm it in your written quote before cutting.

Do you make plus size wedding guest dresses?

Yes. Each dress is cut from your own measurements, so there is no size limit on any design. Send your measurements, labelled body or garment, or choose a size from S to XL.

How early should I order for a wedding?

Each dress takes 5 to 7 working days to make once your quote is approved and paid in full, and shipping to your country comes after that. We cannot promise a delivery date, so tell us the wedding date when you ask for a quote and order as early as you can.

Do you make wedding dresses?

No. For your own wedding day, the one piece we make is a bridal abaya. For guests, every dress here works for a nikah, a mehndi, a walima or a church or registry wedding.

Are the photos real dresses?

Most of these designs are shown as design previews, which show the design before it is sewn, and they are labelled that way. Your dress is made to order from the design and the details agreed in your quote.
