What fabric are you made of? Find out which fabric is best for you
Tulle, chiffon, satin and many more: to every bride, her own fabric! The choice of material is essential to wear thedream dress and make unforgettable, an important day. The right dress, in fact, is the one that allows every woman to feel the most beautiful. And that covers the lines of her body, in a sinuous and comfortable way. But the type of fabric also allows you to define the character of the style.
Romantic, elegant, natural, vintage? Sometimes a dress is all you need to express yourself. Let's discover together the most used fabrics!
The romance of embroidered tulle
On the podium of the most popular materials we find the very fine texture of tulle. Smooth, speckled, striped or textured. In a perfect combination of lightness and semi-transparency, dresses with a princely and dreamy cut take shape. Voluminous skirts and floating veils lift the bride to a fairy-tale dimension. To return her to the dream cultivated since childhood.
The sensuality of organza
But who said that a princess cannot also be sensual? For those looking for a dress that is romantic yet has seductive appeal, there is organza. Most commonly derived from cotton, it also has its roots in silk. Its slight stiffness allows for volume, but not weight. Its hinted transparency creates an interplay of visions. Its stringy whites or pearlescents soften the whole.
The lightness of chiffon
For those who prefer to resemble a goddess, chiffon is the most suitable fabric. Whether derived from the processing of fine yarns or not, its delicacy is undisputed, as much as its fragility. It glides over the body, through interweaving of soft lines, and wraps the forms lightly, making it a fabric most suitable for the summer season.
The refinement of satin
Get noticed, but always with class. Satin, or satin, is a resplendent material, suitable for dresses embellished with embroidery or shiny stones. Its nature makes it conform to the making of sinuous dresses that glide delicately over the body. It hides boldness, behind a reflection of sophistication. A dull side, behind brilliance.
The sophistication of lace
Macramé or Chantilly. Brussels, Valencienne or Honiton, the lace makes its way around the world and is always a success. Sometimes it is used for the entire making of a garment, sometimes only for the finishing touches. It all depends on the boldness of the bride. Either way, it has the power to give chic nuances to anyone who wears it. In a swing between a vintage touch and a modern style.
The Elegance of Crêpe Georgette
Crêpe Georgette owes its name to its wavy, rippled texture to the touch, but also to the French seamstress who invented it. It is important to point out that it is not an actual fabric, but a particular yarn derived from the processing of silk, wool, or synthetic fibers. Contained in volume, extreme in thinness, rough to the touch, it is the optimal choice for those who wish to express themselves in elegance.
The mikado to always be on trend
Arrived at which end, directly from Japan, comes the mikado, derived from silk, precious and glamorous. Thick, compact and irreverent, it is great for stately gowns. A fabric more suitable for daytime weddings, which glows in the light and invests its surroundings, thanks to the reflections it generates. Regal, in the true sense of the word, as brides who have chosen it include Meghan Markle, Marie-Chantal, Crown Princess of Greece and Princess of Denmark, and Queen Maxima, wife of William Alexander, King of the Netherlands.
Tradition with taffeta
The review closes with a very classic fabric, dating back to bygone eras. For a more assertive bride bound to traditional style, taffeta is the best choice. Shiny to the eye, smooth to the touch and imposing, thanks to its more rigid structure. It gives birth to wedding dresses of timeless elegance, for a style of yesteryear.
The world of textiles and cloth is wide and varied. Derived from silk or wool, synthetic fibers or cotton, there is something for every taste, every look--andcharacter!
