FAQ

Can I wear this to an evening reception, or is it more of a daytime dress? Both. The navy tone and lace detail read formal enough for evening, while the tea length keeps it comfortable for a daytime ceremony.

Will the lace snag on jewellery or a clutch bag? The lace sits under the chiffon overlay, so it is protected. Just be mindful with rough-edged rings or bracelets, as with any fine formalwear.

Does it need a slip underneath? No. The chiffon is layered, so it is fully lined through the body. Only the sleeves are sheer by design.

Can it be hemmed if I am shorter? Yes. The chiffon hem takes well to a simple tailor's hem, and most seamstresses can adjust it in one visit.
