Thursday Trend: Long Sleeve Lace Dresses

03/28/13 | Alexander McQueen, Diane von Furstenberg, Fashion and Style, Juicy Couture, Thursday Trend

Lace is summery a flirty and sleeves speak to colder weather so one of my favorite things for spring are long sleeve dresses, specifically with lace sleeves. Lace sleeves have been EVERYWHERE since the lovely Princess Kate stepped out in that iconic Alexander McQueen in the bridal world:

Kate Middleton Long Sleeve Lace Dress

While these looks are absolutely stunning, I think the idea of long sleeve lace dresses in an everyday situation is much more obtainable.  Here are my favorite colorful options, perfect for Easter through the Labor Day, in two great color palettes:


 Pierre Balmain / Diane Von Furstenberg / House of Frasier / Rare London

New Look /  Kate Fearnley / Juicy Couture / New Look

 

Which of one of these long sleeve lace dresses do you like?

Will you be wearing this trend this spring?

    I can’t do it. Lace on my arms like this makes me itchy. And cold. Weirdo, I know.

    Hmm, I like the Pinks, but I know that I would look better in the blue. Great finds!

    For someone who loves feminine details as much as I do my closet is seriously lacking when it comes to lace. I love these dresses and would love to be wearing one this Easter.

    Kate’s dress was SO pretty. I love the look of lace sleeves, but they’re definitely fancy. Would be perfect for a wedding or something similar though!
