For some reason, I find it very strange when I see brides wearing sleeveless tops and covering their heads. It just seems like an odd combination to me. I absolutely love wearing sleeveless shirts but I would never cover my head when wearing one of them because I would look like a fool. Then why do brides do it?
Do you guys think it looks good? I really don’t think it does If you want to wear it, do it properly and don’t cover your head!
I personally think full sleeves look best with bridal outfits.
To each bride their own, but I do agree that full sleeved bridal outfits have that "dulhan" effect that you don't get with half or short sleeves. that's what I would go for. :)
Covering your head during your wedding has nothing to do w/ religion. It's culture. I think sleevless and a dupatta on your head looks fine. And like somebody said up there, full sleeves FTW. They look so elegent and beautiful! Never thought I'd be a full-sleeve girl but I am so getting those for my big day.
if ur talking religion, ur not even allowed to wear short sleeves, that wud look weird aswell in that case..... its just an extra shoulder which is showing.. i dont c much difference between en supershort (cap) sleeve or sleevelss.. its in peoples minds i guess :s Im not weraing sleeveless though, but thats by choice.
i find sleeveless so tacky, (esp on those auntys who have bat wings) why on earth a bride would wear it on her wedding day is beyond me, just my personal opinion!
I don't think I explained myself very well. I didn't mean it from a religious perspective at all! And I am well aware that the covering head tradition is just that, a tradition. It's not even like most brides cover their entire heads.
I meant it looks odd just like it would look off if someone wore a short dress and then sort of covered their heads. The image looks a bit wrong.
I'm not saying there is anything religiously or even culturally wrong with it. I just don't think it looks very good.
I actually don't like half sleeves either. They look too t-shirt like :/

Like M-was_here said: its culture, not religion.
Agree..
I'd wear sleeveless if I marry in Dubai or anywhere really hot (inc London last w/end lol)
It's up to the bride, if she wants to wear sleeveless let her. That being said, it only looks good if her arms are toned...I'd rather not see flabby bingo wings.
i dont know about sleevless but half sleeves is what ive seen in person, and it looks good even with dupatta on head. But i dont think there's anything wrong with sleevless, but i do think one have to think about the 'shape' of arms , and decide if it will look good or not..i think it looks good with toned arms
but i just adore the full sleeves ones, looks sooo pretty!
long sleeves and even elbow length sleeves don't look good on girls with heavier arms- i'm speaking from personal experience here. it has to be cap sleeves or sleeveless if you tone your arms.
for my mehendi gharara, i went sleeveless after much arm working out and toning. granted i didn't have a dupatta on my head, but if i could redo my wedding outfit when i did have my dupatta on head, i would have made it sleeveless too. the whole look was a lot more flattering in hindsight than the short sleeves i had- you have to go with what suits your figure. as for dupatta on head with a sleeveless outfit, its not a question of modesty, so why not? i've seen brides rocking it and i don't find anything odd about it.
One of my friends last yr wore sleeveless bridal was red traditional and as her dupatta was georgette with lots of heavy work it looked nice the way it fell. Personally I would not wear sleeveless Id prefer 3 quarter or half long sleeves.
If you want to wear it, do it properly and don’t cover your head!
