Tamara Kristen, who has designed dresses under the Marisa label for 13 years, has developed a reputation for her understated elegance. Focusing on structure and fit, Kristen says she is not a fan of long, flowy sleeves on a wedding gown, which she says can make a dress look overdone. Instead, Kristen favors an “accented” sleeve, such as a cap sleeve, or a three-quarter-length style. ~Bridalguide.com
