I wore this to a formal dinner and the way the gathered chiffon skirt moves when I walk is just stunning. The structured bodice keeps it from feeling too fussy, but the skirt adds all the romantic drama I wanted.

The chiffon skirt moves beautifully when I walk, and the contrast between that flowy fabric and the clean bodice makes it work for both a dinner date and a casual afternoon out. I wore it to a garden party and got three compliments before I even sat down.

I was nervous the gathered chiffon skirt would be too bulky, but it actually floats beautifully and the contrast with the structured mini dress top is perfect. I’ve already worn it to a dinner and a casual brunch, and it worked for both.
