It’s advisable to sew (or buy) trendy chiffon dresses for everyday use in combination with textiles made from cotton since they are more dense and wear-resistant. An excellent option is a mixture of polyester material; this is suitable for both an evening outfit and for a week-round walk around the city.

Ankara dresses with chiffon

Ankara fabrics and chiffon are an excellent mix. With the help of Ankara textiles, you can create a basis for the dress and its foundation, while adding the chiffon as a decorative element. For example, you can sew a straight dress or a case-gown of any length from Ankara, the sleeves for the dress can be made of chiffon (long wide sleeves or sleeves flared down look very beautiful). You can also make lantern sleeves, bat sleeves or wing sleeves with chiffon. Flounces for such sleeves should be made in several lines.

If you are using an Ankara fabric with a large and multi-colored pattern, it is better to make the chiffon sleeves in one color that complements the color of the main fabric. But if the ornaments on the Ankara fabric are small and pastel, feel free to use a chiffon fabric with patterns too. It should be similar to the ornament of the main fabric.

Chiffon is often used as a coquette in a dress. It can be made in any shape or even be draped. A coquette in the décolleté zone can only be sewn in the front and/or back part of the top. For an Ankara chiffon gown, you can make both a coquette and sleeves.

You can also style it the opposite way: make a straight coquette from the dense Ankara fabric and the basic dress completely from chiffon. In this case, use A-silhouette or Empire style. The waistline of this kind of dress is usually not emphasized and the length is usually short or to the knee; although, you can sew a long dress to the floor.

For color combination use the rule: one-color chiffon for multi-colored Ankara and vice versa. If the color palette of Ankara fabric is very rich and bright, take pastel tones of chiffon to tone down the look of the dress . If you want to create a vivid image, use a bright and one-colored chiffon.

To create evening outfits you can use chiffon in black. It fits almost all colors and patterns of Ankara.

You can also make a chiffon cape for a dress made of Ankara fabrics. It can be sewn as a pelerine or in the form of a train. The train can be of different lengths, just make sure you use a one-colored cape to match Ankara fabrics with bright designs.
