I would assume that the wedding party will be wearing tuxedos and formal attire, but the guests need not exactly meet that level of formality. If you're looking for a long-sleeve wedding guest dress for the sweet spot between winter and spring, this one should do the trick. The long sleeves are cool-weather ready, while the midi length can be worn with bare legs or tights. Summer weddings call for brighter colors and bolder patterns—and this one-shoulder, puff-sleeve, cotton-silk maxi dress certainly fits the bill.
This black wedding guest dress with its sheer sleeves is perfect when you want to cover your arms in the church, or if you have some jiggly bits, you want to camouflage. Long sleeves are generally hot and heavy looking, but this sheer-sleeved dress gives you the arm coverage you are looking for, and it’s a touch sexy too! It's sometimes hard to know this, but sometimes you can guess at a potential color scheme from the invitation and other elements. It's not the end of the world, but it can be awkward if you're wearing exactly the same outfit as the wedding party.

And last but not least, this long sleeve maxi dress features a pretty shade of purple — plum! The most perfect color of green with the strappy neckline and midi-length skirt you’re looking for! We will definitely be wearing this dress for more than just weddings.
They can be especially fun around the holidays (especially New Year’s Eve), when any excuse to get out of the house and travel can be a welcome treat. With that said they can be the hardest weddings to dress for, since short dresses can be a bit unpractical in frigid temperatures. You’ll definitely want to think about heavier fabrics like velvet and opt for long sleeve dresses vs. short sleeves.
