Renata without the bell sleeves.
The Renata silhouette is wonderful, but the bell sleeves are very limiting and dated. The dress could be updated to have regular 3/4 sleeves or even cap sleeves.

Carrie KolesarI'd love to try renata but not with the gathered shoulders.

ClaireAgreed! The sleeves are nice but you could never do a 30 or 100 day challenge with such an obvious piece of clothing, and certainly couldn't put those sleeves under another layer

McKennaI think a half sleeve (elbow sleeve) would still make it different but more functional. And it would be great in a longer length option too.

CJI love the shape of the Renata, but the sleeves have held me back from ordering, as I don't want to have to deal with tailoring away the bell sleeves! I second the comment about half/elbow length sleeves, but would take anything that is not the bell sleeves!

LisaI love the bell sleeves, they’re half length on me (but I’m 6 ft tall). It gives the dress some interest

SusanI vote for elbow length sleeves: a flattering length for most!

SherriI would love 3/4 or elbow length sleeves on this dress! Even sleeveless would be good - the silhouette is lovely and the sleeves are beautiful on some but just not versatile enough for me.

Mary Anne TennantThe sleeves are the only reason I haven’t considered this dress. Not a fan of bell sleeves.

KatyAgree with others that the sleeves are the only thing holding me back from trying Renata. I hope they can be changed like Amalya's were...I'd love to give this dress a try!

RebeccaI keep looking at Renata, but I’m always turned off by the bell sleeves. I would totally consider with a sleeker sleeve shape.

Julie NovakI would like the Renta with non bell sleeves. I am fine with long sleeves or short for it!

TikaThis dress is gorgeous but I can't wear this under my lab coat due to the sleeves, otherwise it's a lovely option for a medical professional

Genevieve CaseyI shortened the sleeves on renata so that she is more versatile. I've also removed the elastic in a small fiona to get a similar shaped dress. basically a slightly dropped waist, short or cap sleeves, and a length at about the knee give or take an inch, so versatile.

Anca GOh, definitely. I would love a sleeveless version, that could be also fit for the empire waist suggestion that has so many votes. Great idea.

MarisaI LOVE Renata she fits me the absolute best. I am keeping one with the bell sleeves because I do think they are dressier for those occasions where you need that. But the other colors are going to the tailor for flutter sleeves. Please design her with flutter sleeves! Still super classy and feminine, dressy but not hot and a more updated style for the younger gals. (not me) HA This Florida gal needs this dress in cap sleeves! :) Also, more colors for her too.

Moderator AdminHello everyone!

We are planning on some styles with a similar waistband and silhouette as Renata in 2024, but they are not an *exact* Renata copy with altered sleeves since they may have varied necklines or lengths. :) Stay tuned for upcoming styles!
