Dresses with sleeves are having a moment. From the runway to the silver screen dresses seem to be embracing the sleeve.
Now there are pros and cons for dresses with sleeves - we hear you! Especially in Asia. Some people cannot deal with wearing a sleeve in the hot weather. However, there are a lot of great reasons to try a dress with a sleeve. Donning sleeves under the scorching sun brings to you a host of benefits to your skin and comfort. Protecting from the harmful UV rays, and still keeping you cool if you choose the right fabric, dresses with sleeves can be a godsend in a tropical climate.
From protection against harmful UV rays to the cooling effect of covered skin, long sleeves might just be your new best friend in the summer heat. So, next time you reach for a sleeveless or short-sleeved shirt, consider the unexpected perks of covering up and staying cool in the heat.
On the flip side of this AC in Asia is aggressively cold. It's always nice to have the flexibility of being able to pull your sleeve down when you're working in an office, in a shopping mall or hotel where the temperature can really plummet!
We are constantly improving our mix and giving our customers what they are asking for. Sleeves are an important part of our core customer's wardrobe. They love to cover the top of their arms, live in Asia mostly so need to be more conservative with their looks, and still want to look fashionable, feminine and stylish.
You can be sure at She Creates Stories we will make sure our dresses with sleeves are cut in breathable fabrics suitable for the humidity, and feature sleeve details to help beat the heat - elasticated cuffs, tabs to shorten the length and fluttery wider sleeve silhouettes.
