chiffon dress

Lightweight flowy garment

A chiffon dress is a garment made from chiffon—a lightweight, sheer fabric with a soft, flowing drape.

The material's transparency usually requires lining or layering.

Chiffon dresses are associated with formal occasions, evening wear, and warm-weather elegance: She wore a pale blue chiffon dress to the garden party.
