A soft V-neck midi for golden fall afternoons
Some dresses feel instantly timeless, and this is one of them. A soft V neckline, long airy chiffon sleeves and a flowing midi skirt give it a vintage French feel, while the muted grey green color makes it perfect for a fall wedding. It looks equally beautiful against autumn leaves, in a candlelit barn or under the warm light of a garden reception.
It is a gentle, romantic dress rather than a loud one. It photographs beautifully, it is easy to wear and it feels special without needing much styling.
Why this dress works for a fall wedding
A V neckline that frames the face
The soft V neckline draws the eye up toward your face and lengthens the neck. It is open enough to wear a pendant necklace but modest enough for a church ceremony.
Long sleeves for cooler weather
Long sleeves are one of the most practical details for a fall wedding. They keep you comfortable during an outdoor ceremony or a cool evening reception, and they mean you do not need a jacket covering your outfit in the photos. The chiffon sleeves are light and airy, so you will not overheat indoors either.
A flowing midi skirt
The skirt falls softly to midi length and moves gracefully when you walk. It skims the hips and legs instead of clinging and is easy to sit, dance and walk in on grass or gravel.
A muted, sophisticated color
Grey green is a quiet, elegant color that works with fall's natural palette. It flatters most skin tones, looks lovely with gold or silver jewelry and is very unlikely to clash with a bridal party color scheme.
Fabric and feel
The dress is made from lightweight chiffon, a soft and breathable fabric with a gentle drape. Chiffon looks elegant in photographs and feels comfortable throughout a long day. The skirt is layered so it is not see-through.
Care instructions
Hand wash cold with a mild detergent or use a delicate cycle in a laundry bag. Do not wring. Hang to dry in the shade. Steam to release creases; if you iron, use the lowest setting with a pressing cloth. Do not tumble dry.

How to measure
Measure your bust around the fullest point while wearing your usual bra, keeping the tape level. Measure your natural waist at the narrowest point of your torso. Measure the length of a dress you like from the top of the shoulder to the hem to compare with the length above.
Which size should I choose?
Choose by your bust and waist. Because this style is cut small, a woman who normally wears a US 6 to 8 is often an L or XL here. If your bust is larger than 35 inches, this dress will not fit and we recommend one of our other fall wedding dresses. The length is about 40 to 42 inches from the shoulder, which falls at mid-calf on petite women and just below the knee on taller women. Because all sales are final, please email us your measurements if you are unsure.
How to style it
For a fall barn or vineyard wedding, pair the grey green with tan suede ankle boots or block heels, gold hoops and a camel or cream wrap. For a more formal evening reception, choose nude heels, a delicate pendant necklace and a small metallic clutch. A wide-brim felt hat looks beautiful at an outdoor daytime ceremony.
Warm makeup tones like terracotta and rose suit the green beautifully.
Where else you can wear it
This dress is lovely for engagement parties, bridal showers, afternoon tea, garden parties, family photos, Thanksgiving dinner and autumn birthday celebrations. With a denim jacket and boots, it also works for a relaxed weekend lunch.
Layering for changeable fall weather
Fall wedding weather can change several times in a day. The chiffon sleeves keep you comfortable in a warm venue, and for an outdoor ceremony on a cool morning you can add a cropped cardigan in cream or camel, a tailored wool blazer or a soft pashmina. Keep layers short or cropped so they do not hide the waist and the flow of the skirt. For a late-season wedding, sheer nude or soft grey tights look elegant with block heels or ankle boots. A structured felt hat and leather gloves complete a polished autumn look for a ceremony outdoors, and they come off easily once you move indoors for the reception.
