Dress Material Details
Style, cut, texture, drape, and season are all-important factors in
determining the best fabric for a wedding gown. The same style dress can
look and feel quite different in a variety of fabrics, since each
material is designed to produce a distinct effect. Some fabrics cling to
the body, while others stand away. Some are cherished for their
crispness, others for being light-as-air. Silk -- a natural fiber that
exudes an innate quality of refinement -- is undoubtedly the most
sought-after and cherished wedding dress material, noted for its
resiliency, elasticity, and strength.Silk threads are woven to create various fabrics, including satin, a densely-woven silk notable for its super-lustrous gloss; duchesse satin, a blend of silk and rayon that is lighter and more affordable than pure silk satin; charmeuse, a lightweight silk satin with a more subdued luster; and shantung, a low-sheen textured silk characterized by a rough, nubby quality. Then there are the gauzier, textured silks like chiffon, tulle, and organza -- all used in multiple layers for gown skirts since they are transparent, but lightweight.
