Off the shoulder "add-on" sleeves.... Help?

Has anyone added sleeves to their dress? I really don't like my upper arms and def am adding sleeves to my dress, but haven't found any pix online that seem to be what I'm looking for. I've already tried several jackets on with my dress, but really want my shoulders and back to be open... since the back of the dress is why I fell in love with it in the first place. Plus I don't want to get too hot. I want an off the shoulder 3/4 length satin sleeve.  That just attaches maybe to the inside of the dress? I'm not sure if this can  be done, or if it would actually have to be more securely sewn onto the outside of the dress.... any suggestions or pics of what anyone has done or seen would help out alot.

 This is my dress (not with that veil though)

ask a trusted local seamstress. im sure its possible if you get creative. ive seen shirts that have sleeves open back and shoulder so its just a matter of makin it scure and look as if it belongs vs added on. hence the trusted talented seamstress :) good luck! post pics w the final dress when you get there!
