Light as Air, Endlessly Elegant
Chiffon is a sheer, plain-woven fabric that is incredibly lightweight, giving it a signature floating quality. Unlike its cousin, organza, which is stiffer, chiffon is soft and drapes beautifully, making it a favorite for creating graceful and comfortable silhouettes. It's the perfect choice for a bride who wants a gown that moves with her.
This beautiful fabric is often used to create soft A-line skirts, elegant overlays, and romantic, flowing trains. It is a cornerstone of bohemian wedding dresses and is the perfect choice for a destination wedding, as it is both comfortable in warm weather and travels well.

Frequently Asked Questions About Chiffon Wedding Dresses
What is the difference between chiffon and organza?
While both are lightweight, sheer fabrics, the main difference is in their texture and drape. Chiffon is very soft and has a fluid drape, while organza is stiffer and more structured. Organza is often used to create more voluminous shapes, while chiffon is used for softer, more flowing styles.
Is chiffon a good choice for a beach wedding?
Yes, it's a perfect choice! Chiffon is lightweight, breathable, and will move beautifully in a gentle ocean breeze. Its effortless elegance is perfectly suited to the relaxed and romantic atmosphere of a beach ceremony.
Does chiffon wrinkle easily?
Chiffon is naturally wrinkle-resistant, which makes it an excellent fabric for travel. If any minor creases do appear, they can usually be removed with a gentle steaming. We always recommend professional steaming to protect the delicate fabric.
What silhouettes are most common for chiffon gowns?
Chiffon's beautiful drape makes it ideal for silhouettes that are meant to flow and move. It is most commonly used for sheath and A-line gowns. It is less common in highly structured silhouettes like a traditional ball gown.
How should a chiffon dress be cleaned and preserved?
As a delicate fabric, chiffon requires professional cleaning. It's important to take it to a cleaner who has experience with fine bridal fabrics. For long-term storage, our professional preservation service will ensure your beautiful gown is protected for years to come.
