Bailey | Flowing Chiffon Maxi Dress

Yes, you can wear black to a wedding.

If you have been staring at the invitation wondering whether black is allowed, here is the honest answer: the old rule was never really about the colour, it was about not looking sombre. There is nothing sombre about sheer black chiffon that lifts and floats every time you move. Bailey settles the question.

What makes her Bailey

• Sheer chiffon, cut long and full. The skirt is gathered from the waist and finished with a soft ruffled hem, so it lifts as you walk and settles again when you stand still. That movement is what people notice from across the room.
• A high scalloped lace neckline with a keyhole opening. Covered enough for a church ceremony, open enough to still read as an evening dress. The lace repeats down the centre front and again at the sleeve cuffs.
• Short sheer puff sleeves. Your upper arms are covered without the heat, without a shrug you will take off after twenty minutes, and without having to decide about bare shoulders at nine in the morning.
• A pleated satin sash at the natural waist. It defines your shape by skimming it, not gripping it. Nothing digs in when you sit down to dinner.
• Floor length. Check the chart below against your height before you decide on your heel.

From the ceremony through to the last dance

The chiffon is the reason. Light enough that you forget you are wearing it through a long ceremony in the sun, and held together enough at the waist that you still look put together in a photograph taken six hours later. You will not spend the evening tugging at anything. That is the whole point of her.

Available in sizes S to 2XL, in black.

The date on that invitation does not move.

And the deadline that matters is not the wedding itself — it is the weekend before, when you want her hanging on the back of your door, tried on with the shoes you are going to wear, and nothing left to decide. Work backwards from that weekend, and today is the day.

Sizes are going fast, and the sale ends today.

M and L always empty out first, and when a size goes on this dress it does not come back. Today is also the last day at 60% off — tomorrow she returns to her regular price. Two reasons to stop thinking about it, and none to wait.
