A floor-length chiffon wedding dress cut with a deep V at the front, an open back and a high slit through the skirt. The waist sits high, which is what gives the skirt its long line down to the floor.

The reason to look at this one is the size range: it runs from US 2 all the way to US 26W, so brides who normally have to choose between a standard gown that does not fit and a made-to-measure quote have a straight option here. It also answers a few specific searches at once — a backless bridal gown with sleeves, a curve-size chiffon gown, a wedding dress with a leg slit.

Choosing a size

These sizes run small, so take the larger one if you fall between two. Note that the W sizes are cut for a fuller hip and bust rather than simply being scaled up, so check the chart rather than assuming US 16 and US 16W are interchangeable. Allow 2-3cm either way.

Care

Chiffon creases and marks easily. Cool hand wash or a specialist clean, no tumble drying, and a cool iron through a cloth. Hang it to dry rather than wringing it out.
