Chiffon wedding dresses

Chiffon wedding dresses in motion

The movement of a skirt often tells you more than a still photograph. With chiffon, look at how the fabric falls from the waist, opens around your legs and settles when you stop. The complete dress matters too: the number of layers, the lining and the cut all influence how it moves and feels. At your fitting, take a few steps before returning to the mirror.

Three ways to wear chiffon

In Agapia, layers of chiffon fall from a defined waist into an A-line skirt. It is a useful starting point if that line is what draws you to the fabric. Cynthia combines chiffon with floral lace, bringing a different texture into the design. Hellen pairs its A-line silhouette with long chiffon puff sleeves and an embellished corset. Compare what attracts you in each: the skirt, the lace or the balance between sleeves and bodice.

Choosing a dress for an outdoor celebration

If you are considering chiffon for an outdoor wedding, think about the actual setting as well as the photograph you like. Walk on a surface similar to the one at your venue if your boutique allows it, or describe the ground to your consultant. Discuss the hem and train, and see how you manage the skirt while walking. The fabric name alone does not settle those practical choices.

Your shortlist for the boutique

Save your favourite models and note the neckline, sleeves and skirt you want to compare. Explore the full DAMA wedding dress collection if you would like another shape beside them.
