According to some top wedding dress designers who were asked what they saw as the next Big Thing in bridal gown fashion, sleeves are coming back in to fashion. I doubt that sleeveless will ever go out – sleeveless is beautiful in so many ways, but I’m pleased that more dresses with sleeves are appearing on the scene. There are some beautiful dresses with sleeves about.

So ruffles on wedding dresses are back. I remember the last time they were in fashion. I also remember creasing up at the hilarious awfulness of them after they went out of fashion, but, sheep that I am, I now think that some ruffley dresses are rather wonderful; ruffles + wedding dress = stylish princess.

I’ve compiled a few so that you too can appreciate them in their ruffled glory.
