When you choose a wedding dress, stunning look is important, but you still should think of the fabric. Texture, drape and season are all primary factors in determining the fabric. The main fabrics used in wedding dress include satin, taffeta, chiffon, organza, lace, tulle, etc. The gowns of same pattern in different fabrics could give totally different effects.
For wedding dress, satin is most commonly used, and comes in many different forms, such as chameuse satin, duchess satin, and crepe satin and double-sided satin.
Duchess satin is the heaviest satin with one side shiny and smooth. It works best in formal, structured dresses but not suitable for slinky dresses as it is too stiff. Beading and embroidery works well on it. And it’s perfect for winter wedding dress because it’s heavy and warm. Chameuse satin and crepe satin are soft, lightweight and have very good flow and drape, and work perfectly with drapey and layered styles. It’s unsuitable for a cold day. Double-Sided satin in silk is a truly luxurious fabric, works wonderfully cut on the bias, and feels great to wear as it is smooth & shiny on both sides of a gown. It’s seasonless for its weight is generally between duchess satin and Chameuse.
Taffeta is a stiff crisp weave with a slight sheen that works best in styles that flare, and is particularly good for structured ball gowns or full skirts. It fits all the seasons.
Chiffon is a sheer light translucent silk or man-made fibre. It’s drapey, delicate and fluid, perfect for those Greek goddess wedding dresses. It is used draped elegantly over the arms and shoulders. It always overlays on opaque fabrics. The elegant and fluid nature makes it good for hot days.
Organza is sheer chiffon –like material, but crisper. It has a good texture with sheen, often gives an illusion feel. Organza always overlay on satin, and the embroidery, delicate lace motif works very well on it. It can not only used for major material, but also accessory. With lace, appliqués or beading embellished above, it is inexpressible romantic with hazy aesthetic. Tulle, fine-mesh netting with a hexagonal pattern material, can create this hazy feeling. Both are great for tiered skirt and overlays, veils, trains and full skirts; and suit all the seasons.
Lace is delicate-looking yet strong and rich with history. Matching with beading, it’s the best embellishment to display your quality of elite. It covers while revealing, and adds a touch of centuries –gone-by grace while remaining utterly current. It was accessory, but now it can also be used as major material.
Understanding the details of the fabrics would help you find the wedding dress exactly what you want. Try and see what you want before committing yourself to anything. Wishing you all the very best.
