for the dress i had purchased it wasn't going to work. I also found when trying on gowns some of them looked rather silly with caps on them. I found a nice jacket was better that matched the dress and then when I didnt need it or I was too hot I just took it off.

Re: Did anyone add sleeves to their dress?
I did. It didn't go well. I felt like Little Bo Peep. You know how the soft but slightly ruched sleeve was in last year? Yeah, that's not how it turned out. I bought another dress entirely.
It all depends on your seamstress and being clear about what you want, of course.

My gown comes with detachable sleeves.
My mothers is sleeveless but she is having the seamstress take the shawl that goes with the dress and make detachable sleeves. It actually looks really nice!

I want to add cap sleeves too. I still have to work it out with the seamstress.
