Women's Blue Farrah Gown: Elbow Sleeve Jacquard Shirt Gown For Wedding Guests

The Farrah Gown is Baruni's signature shirt gown and the piece most often photographed on our customers at weddings. It is cut from an exclusive self pattern jacquard, buttoned through the front, with elbow length puff sleeves and a fine trim detail along the neckline and sleeve hems. The sash ties at the waist and the skirt opens into a full A line that falls to the floor. Wear it as a wedding guest, to a garden party, a daytime celebration or any occasion that asks for something considered rather than loud. Fit note: the puff at the shoulder balances fuller hips. If you are between sizes, we recommend the larger. The model is 172cm and wears a size XS. That size measures 90cm bust, 71cm waist and 144cm from shoulder to hem, which is 35 1/2, 28 and 56 3/4 inches. How far down the arm does the sleeve come? Twenty nine centimetres from the shoulder, so it finishes at the elbow. The upper arm is fully covered and the forearm is bare. If you want the whole arm covered, look at the long sleeve styles instead. Is a shirt gown formal enough for a wedding? Yes, and it is the shape we recommend most often for a daytime one. It has the length and presence of a gown with none of the stiffness, and because it opens at the front you step into it rather than pulling it over your hair. Will the jacquard be too warm for an outdoor wedding? It is a woven jacquard with body rather than weight, and the sleeve sits away from the arm. Fabric weight matters far more than sleeve length in heat, and this one is cut for a Gulf summer. For the same fabric in a shorter sleeve, see our wedding guest dresses. Color: blue
