A wedding is a unique, bright event that will be remembered for years and decades. Naturally, most of the eyes are on the bride.
How to choose fabric for a wedding dress
This is the day she shines! And it is the fabric from which her wedding dress is made that plays a major role in creating the image. Now we will take a look at all the popular fabrics for a wedding dress. Professionally selected fabrics and ready-made dresses are the main services among the many that are available on this site.
Satin
Satin is one of the most popular options for tailoring dresses, because with its help, you can create almost any silhouette, both emphasizing the excellent figure of the bride, and reliably hiding any of her flaws. The versatility of the material is explained by the fact that it drapes well and keeps its shape, and varieties of satin on the market can be found for every taste, as it is made from natural or artificial threads.
Material:
- smooth;
- shiny;
- perfectly holds beads, appliqués and embroidery on its surface;
- it can be easily combined with matte fabrics and accessories, chiffon and organza.
Taffeta
Taffeta is a dense fabric that is sewn from synthetics or silk/cotton, the basis of which is tightly twisted plain weave fabrics. The fabric is quite plastic, which allows it to be used to create voluminous, lush silhouettes. It shows its slight brilliance perfectly with camera flashes and under natural sunlight. Fashion designers love to create voluminous dresses with clearly defined lines from taffeta, despite the fact that both the main dress and the petticoat can be created from taffeta.
Brocade
Brocade is an expensive and dense fabric that reveals its properties to the maximum when dyed. Designers don't make white dresses from it, because this heavy fabric will not give you a royal look in such a color. But it's the right choice for a luxurious wedding.
Silk
Natural or artificial, silk is a frequent choice for those who want to emphasize the body silhouette in a bridal gown. It is usually combined with pearls of any color, and always looks gentle, at the same time discreet and elegant, indicating the excellent taste of the bride (or her designer). Natural silk flows pleasantly over the skin, and a bride with thin figure looks especially beautiful on photographs. The artificial silk will be more dense and sparkling, which will not look very advantageous in photos taken with a flash in the evening or at night.
Guipure, lace, chiffon and organza
Transparent lace with guipure is usually used to create separate parts of wedding dresses - sleeves, collars, inserts.
Lightweight chiffon and organza fabrics are used to create volume and layering in clothes, without acting as an independent material for dresses.
