Trend Report: When you have to dress a minor army of attendants, there are sure to be different body styles. Since so many women are self-conscious about their arms, we’re big fans of the flattering sleeve trend that seems here to stay. To suit Charleston’s warm climes, we recommend sleeves constructed of lace or chiffon, and those that are split, flowy, or capped.

"The main trend we see across all of our bridesmaid collections is that the soft, flowy look is sticking around." -Krista Roach, Gown Boutique of Charleston
