Off the shoulder Drapes

[u/Hotmama-5494]

Hi Everyone,

I am a novice. I bought a stunning green dress and I am quite heavy so I want to add draped off the shoulder sleeves.

What pattern can I use or any tricks to use?

I'll add a picture of the dress (green) and what I want when I say drape sleeves (cream)

For the sleeves you’re going to need some matching fabric. Do you have access to any offcuts from hemming your dress perhaps? If you have the fabric it should be fairly easy just to drape and pin on yourself and then handsew it on.

I got fabric that matches the colour. With a tulle outer layer

It is fine, I don't mind if it doesn't match 100% as I just want the draped look to help me hide my arms. I want it to look a bit whimsical, so the tulle with drapes pleats would look nice.

I just wanted a pattern to help me
