Wedding Date is Approaching Fast? Keep These Fabrics in your Wishlist
Choosing a perfect wedding dress isn’t easy. You have to deal with fitting issues, colour mismatch and to top it all, “the dress is not available” woes. To avoid such last-minute disasters, brides often choose to get their dresses stitched from their favourite seamstress. At Wedding Fabrics, we bring you the finest dress materials, which are used in signature outfits of Bianco Evento.
Before you jump into wedding dress shopping, learn what to expect when it comes to fabrics, because choosing the right material is crucial. Many factors come into play while choosing fabrics, most importantly the season you are getting hitched. Patterns, motifs, and materials which are ideal for spring nuptials might not be great for fall weddings.
However, we will take you through our fabric collections, so that your dress fabric shopping becomes a little less overwhelming.
Chiffon
Lightweight chiffon is highly favoured when it comes to stitch bridal dresses. It makes a great fabric for overlay in dresses and skirts or as an accent detail due to its sheer transparency. Produced from a woven silk or rayon, this matte fabric comes with a floaty and ethereal vibe, which are perfect for the sewing A-line floaty A-line floaty bridal outfits. Its light and airy vibe makes it an apt fit for spring/summer nuptials. However, chiffon works best as an overlay. If you are wearing a chiffon outfit on your wedding, make sure that there’s a lining inside the layer of chiffon.
Satin
Satin is a finish and not a fabric. It’s a sheen that you can have from materials produced from pure silk, all polyester, or a blend. Satin finish comes better in these items because materials woven from natural fibers are prone to wrinkles although they are breathable. On the contrary, synthetic and blends do not wrinkle, hence make a great alternative for satin finish.
Satin offers a lot of volume to any dress. It’s more of a supportive fabric that works with every body type and is a good choice for ruched, draped, and ballgowns.
Organza
Organza is one of our bestseller dress fabrics, which is a sheer, lightweight, woven fabric traditionally designed from silk. Unlike chiffon, organza is a tough and stiff material. While chiffon offers a flowy drape, organza is a more structured material, though absolutely light and ethereal, making it perfect for summer weddings. Delicate organza makes a great item for layered dresses and skirts.
Tulle
Tulle appears more like net, but it is actually a sheer drape which is a stiffer version than chiffon and organza. The fabric can incorporate intricate lace designs, as well. It is produced from nylon and often used for bridal wear, formal gowns and in luxury or couture fashion. Tulle is used mostly in wedding veils, being lightweight. Also, tulle bridal skirts are growing in popularity due to their sheer grace and flowy texture. However, tulle is mostly used as a support fabric in the layered skirts and gowns. Tulle makes a great outfit when it is matched with different types of lace fabrics.
Lace
Lace is our mainstay, and we’re head over heels in love with it. It’s graceful and exudes sheer charm and accentuates feminine grace. Versatile makes an excellent fabric for crafting wedding gown bodice and veil edges. Also, it is used in our exclusive footwear range. With a variety of lace, ranging from floral to guipure, it’s obvious that you are having endless options to get your dress designed. As with tulle, the open weave makes it susceptible to snags, but this is not the case with lace.
Crepe
Made of a soft silk or lightweight rayon, crepe is extremely delicate and too some extent crinkled, thus making it absolutely perfect for soft silhouettes. Crepe bridal skirts are quite popular for springtime wedding as they are breathable. Crepe accentuates curves and makes the best for minimalist designs, even in bridal jumpsuits. Crepe can comfortably carry simple styles like mermaid/flared or A-line dresses, which are more of a classic choice.
Last but not the least…
Fabric tends to be an extremely personal choice, but honestly, it's the style and silhouette of the gown that actually dictate the direction. Some fabrics are best for modern structured designs, while the others are great for flowing, light look, and for larger-than-life ballgowns. The frame of the bride also plays a role in this regard. Whatever it is, you can rest assured that Wedding Fabrics brings you a collection of dress fabrics, which are sophisticated, graceful, and charming. Be it a wedding gown, skirt or veil, we have the best fabrics to get it stitched.
