Sleepless nights spent muttering over Mommy-in-law's critique of the exact shade of ivory for the napkins, or your band who has just a few too many Barry Manilow songs on their playlist are bad enough. Worrying about your not-so-toned armpits and underarms creeping out the top of your strapless gown is enough to make you want to strap on that bat cape and sail off the nearest bridge.
These oh-so-hilariously-nicknamed 'batwings' can be toned up by regular sessions with a set of dumbbells, but the multiple cake-tasting sessions are really working against you. Help may be on the way.
Ivanka Trump's gown got a modesty makeover when she converted to orthodox Judaism in time for her October 25, 2009 wedding. Vera Wang added a lace bodice and half sleeves to Ivanka's dress that we are swooning over. Does this signal the decline of the strapless bridal uniform?
What do you think?

I would have never thought I would like a wedding dress with sleeves, but I thought Ivana Trump looked so elegant and regal. There was nothing frumpy or old maiden about it.
I think Ivanka looks stunning.
hot indeed ! why you don't like wedding dresses with sleeves? they look cute :d
I think it was a very tasteful way of adding sleeves and some modesty. I think she looked great!
D - I do like with sleeves! I'm also glad to see a little more variation in the bridal fashion. When I married, there were more options I think. These days, everyone's wearing essentially the same gown. Sleeves? Bring 'em on!
*disclaimer* not intended to encourage the reemergence of those horrid puffy ones
I think Ivanka looks great! She's beautiful as is the dress. Her husband on the other hand ... while I'm sure he's fabulous and great, is a bit on the frumpy side. He scored big time!! :-P
I will be needing a wedding gown WITH sleeves (I'm Christian and I dress modestly) and I don't want anything that is LDS or frumpy.
I'm so happy Ivanka had a gorgeous wedding gown....with sleeves.
Sleeveless is SO passe!!!!!
