Long Sleeve Evening Gowns: Lace, Velvet, Sequins and Crepe for Black Tie and Winter

A long sleeve evening gown covers you for a cold room, a modest dress code and a formal one. This edit picks 16 long-sleeved gowns in stock at Coveti, from $770 to $8,130, in lace, velvet, sequins, crepe and embroidered silk. Choose by cloth first, then by neckline, because a long sleeve with a plunging V reads very differently from one with a high neck.

Key facts

  • 16 long-sleeved gowns from 13 houses, $770 to $8,130
  • Cloths: lace, velvet, sequins, crepe, jersey and embroidered silk

  • Prices are for the size shown on the product page; made-to-order pieces take longer to arrive.

Lace and embroidery

Lace is the classic long sleeve. The Saiid Kobeisy Embroidered Lace Long Sleeve Dress in Jet Black pairs a high neck with a thigh-high slit, and the Erdem Embellished Silk Creponne Long Sleeve Gown gathers eau de nil silk with crystals at the shoulder. From Marmar Halim, the Embodied Long-Sleeve Gown With Cape adds embroidery and a cape.

Velvet for winter

Velvet is the warmest choice for a winter wedding. The Gemy Maalouf Off-Shoulder Slim Velvet Dress combines bare shoulders with long sleeves, and the Roland Mouret Long Sleeve Embellished Velvet Gown in prune keeps it simple.

Sequins and shine

For a gala, choose sequins. The Rebecca Vallance Cambridge Long Sleeve Gown is gold sequins on a fitted bodice, and the Marmar Halim Long-Sleeved Pleated Gown With Detachable Cape is silver silk with a cape.

Modest dressing

For full cover, look for a high neck as well as a long sleeve, and check the back and the slit. The Marmar Halim High-Neck Draped Fish-Cut Taffeta Dress covers the neck and arms in shot maroon taffeta. More in modest evening gowns and Marmar Halim modest gowns.

Frequently asked questions

Are long sleeve gowns appropriate for black tie?

Yes. A floor-length long-sleeved gown is fully black tie. Lace, velvet and embroidered silk read as the most formal.

What neckline works with long sleeves?

A high neck for modest dressing; a V-neck and an off-shoulder line to balance the cover and show some skin.

Is a long sleeve gown too warm for summer?

Not in sheer lace, chiffon and georgette. Save velvet and heavy crepe for winter.

What jewellery goes with a long sleeve gown?

Earrings and a ring. Bracelets catch on lace and sequinned sleeves.

How much is a designer long sleeve evening gown?

In this edit, $770 to $8,130.

How should long sleeves fit?

The sleeve should end at the wrist bone with your arm straight, and you should be able to raise your arms without the bodice lifting.
