Whether you’re planning a winter wedding, trying to channel Kate Middleton or just love the sleeved look, these long sleeve wedding dresses are lengths ahead of the rest.

And the Kate Middleton effect shows no signs of slowing down, as the trend is executing its staying power, thanks to new styles, fabrics and cuts. From high-octane Victoriana, to sleek and simple sheer sleeves, here are the fuller coverage wedding dresses we’re coveting this year.
