Cap Sleeve Detailing
Cap sleeves can be different, here everything depends on your style, gown and the detailing you want: to contrast, to add interest or to polish the dress design. These are mostly boho and art deco gowns but you can modern minimalist, vintage, retro and others, too.
The most popular way of detailing a cap sleeve is beading and pearling it – with different patterns, looks and embroidery. Cap sleeves are usually tulle or lace ones, and you can leave them like that if it’s a simple or minimalist gown, or a romantic lace one – no additional décor is needed. if you wanna sparkle, opt for heavy beading and a lot of rhinestones on the sleeve, or choose a different shade of sleeve to contrast with the dress itself. If it’s a boho dress, threads with beads and sparkling threads hanging from the sleeve are welcome, be bold!
