Chiffon evening dresses that are genuinely opaque: Yasmine attaches a matte chiffon cape to a fully lined satin dress, so you get chiffon's movement without its transparency. The line serves women dressing for spring and summer occasions, from wedding ceremonies to baby showers, at £74 (EUR 84) per dress.
Construction facts. The chiffon is an attached cape that falls over the shoulders. Beneath it sits the dress itself, fully opaque satin in the same tone with a lightweight set-in lining. Sleeves are long, the hem is floor length, and the neckline sits high. The result weighs little, breathes in warm venues and moves with the air, which is why chiffon owns the May to September occasion calendar. Four colours qualify: beige, emerald, mint and pink. Emerald is the wedding guest hero, mint and beige are the neutral diplomats for showers and gender reveals, and pink is the soft option for daytime celebrations.
