Dress Fabrics For Your Bridal Gown

As a bride-to-be, it is necessary for you to learn something about the wedding dress. Among them, the wedding dress fabric is a first thing you should know about.

Charmeuse

A soft, lightweight fabric, charmeuse has a sheen, but isn't as shiny as satin. It looks beautiful!!!
Chiffon

A transparent (see through) material, chiffon can be made either from silk or rayon. Chiffon is usually layered over another part of the dress. If you are going to have a summer wedding, the chiffon can be a best choice for your wedding dress.

Lace

OK, this is one you definitely already know. Lace is an open-weave fabric. Usually, it's used as part of a dress, but if it's properly lined, the entire dress can be lace. We all have to admit that we may all have dreamed of dream lace wedding dress for our wedding day.
Organza

A sheer, stiff fabric made of silk or rayon. Organza is stiff, but has more flow than tulle.
It is great......

Rayon

A synthetic (human-made) fabric. Rayon looks like silk, but is easier to work with and less expensive.

Silk

The most popular and expensive wedding dress fabric, silk is a smooth, soft, natural fiber. Silk threads are used to create many other fabrics including charmeuse, chiffon, organza, satin, and tulle. Many of these fabrics can also be made with a less-expensive silk/rayon blend, or with rayon alone.
Satin

You know this one as the shiny fabric. Satin is made from silk and while satin sounds fancy, it is actually a more affordable blend of silk and rayon. This is the mostly used fabric for a bridal dress.

Taffeta

A crisp fabric, taffeta has a reputation as being "old fashioned" or "prom-like," but can actually be used in very modern styles.

Best wishes for all the new couples.
