Help me add sleeves!

I am a BM in a wedding in the beginning of June. Here is the dress we are wearing:



The bride gave us all the option of ordering extra chiffon fabric to make sleeves/straps. Since my FI hates strapless dresses, I'm going to do that. The bride said that she doesn't care what type of sleeves I get, so I need some help deciding. Straight inch-ish wide strap? triangular caps? halter? What type of sleeves/straps do you think would go best with the dress?

    This dress is stunning. I have no help towards sleeves, I just think it's stunning. G/L!

    :) Thanks, BP! I was really happy she chose this one. I'm actually thinking of wearing it for my rehearsal/rehearsal dinner (a month after her wedding). FI, this bride, and a mutual BM will be the only people who see me in it twice.

    The top of my wedding dress had a modified sweetheart neckline like that, and I did sleeves like this:



    Also, the top to my BMs dresses were similar, and one of the BMs was originally supposed to do the same thing.. but then didn't.

    Here are a couple pics I found on google that have similar necklines and straps. I think any way you go, all 3 options would look great!

    Oh! And take a look at QT's signature pic - she's wearing a dress with a similar neckline and it has cute cap sleeves!

    Thats a pretty dress!
    If you don't mind do you know who the designer is.
    I am no help with sleeves as I am a sleeveless dress fanatic!

    But I think if you add any of the sleeves suggested itll look awesome good luck!
