Wedding Dresses Fabrics
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.
Chiffon wedding gowns from Venus
Chiffon: Delicate, sheer, and transparent — made from silk or rayon, with a soft finish; often layered because of its transparency, making it popular for overskirts, sheer sleeves, and wraps.
Organza wedding dress
Organza: Crisp and sheer like chiffon, with a stiffer texture similar in effect to tulle, but more flowing; popular for skirts, sleeves, backs, and overlays.
Satin Wedding Gown
Satin: A heavy, smooth fabric with a high sheen on one side; very common in bridal gowns.
Taffeta wedding dress
Taffeta: Crisp and smooth, with a slight rib.
Tulle wedding dress
Tulle: Netting made of silk, nylon, or rayon; used primarily for skirts and veils (think ballerina tutus).
