Bolero jacket/Sleeves

I am thinking of getting a bolero jacket made for my dress or sleeves added to my dress. Can you post some pics of either? I need some more options.

thanks girls!

This is my gown and it comes with a bolero and I'm pretty sure you can buy it seperately.. Designer is Paloma Blanca.

hey there- i'm having a short sleeve bolero made for my dress (by Casablanca). i found out in my search that many designers will make it for you custom, so if you have your dress picked out, or if you're looking around ask the salesperson if the designer of the dress you like will make you a jacket. mine cost around $200. If they don't, request a few yards of the same lace/fabric as your dress and bring it to a good seamstress. I've heard that they'r relativley simple to make.

I have a Jasmine dress, which has a bolero in the same material, so it will match. But I was also told that you can order extra fabric from the designer and have one made. The jacket cost about $200 and so does the material...so whicheven is easier for you. Just make sure you get it from the same designer.

I got mine done through the dress manufacturer but your bridal store should be able to buy fabric and make one for you.

I had mine custom made at the wedding salon I bought my dress. They ordered extra material from the designer. I took it off for the reception.

Thanks for thinking of me, Peggie!

I had a bolero jacket, it came with my dress and used the same lace that covered the bodice of my dress.

The seamstress added hooks to attach the jacket to the dress so it wouldn't slip off my shoulders, and that worked perfectly.

My original plan was to take it off at some point during the reception, but I ended up feeling more comfortable keeping it on ... so I did

Here's some pics:

Re: Bolero jacket/Sleeves

Thanks girls for the ideas. I called my designer and they said they just couldn't make me a bolero. I am thinking about go down the garment district and buying material and getting one sewn. It might not totally match the design which i am bummed about. But, If i find something similiar there won't be no one totally staring to see if it matched or not right?
