An ever-lacing love.

On the 29th of April 2011, Catherine Middleton married Prince William in this stunning number by Sarah Burton (Creative director at Alexander McQueen).

It was one of fashions best kept secrets, with the only people who knew, being those who were assisting in the dresses creation. Even Sarah's parents were completely unaware right up until the eve of the ceremony.  

As well as being one of the best kept secrets, it was also the gown that re-sparked the nations love for lace, especially the sleeve details. Fast forward a year and a half, and here we are with many 2013 collections still rocking this elegant look.

Below are some pictures of our favourite sleeved dresses.

A perfect touch for both winter weddings and those looking to make a bold statement. It just goes to show that covering up, doesn't mean hiding.
