Which silhouettes work best with long sleeves?

A-line, sheath, column, fit-and-flare, mermaid, and modified ballgown all pair beautifully with long sleeves. The sleeve style (lace, satin, illusion, full bishop, or fitted) shapes the look more than the silhouette does. A clean A-line with long lace sleeves reads romantic, while a sheath with long satin sleeves reads modern and considered.
