Fabrics: Wedding Dresses
Feel and shape: these are based on the kind of fabric a wedding gown is made from
. A multitude of descriptive words can be used to explain just the fabric exclusively. Think about it: sheen and smooth, starchy and textured, lightweight and smooth, and more. The fabric is what a dress is all about. It's also what is primarily considered at the time the designer decides how much the pricetag will be.
Needless to say, if the designer starts off with an pricey textile, chances are the dress will be pricey as well. For example, silk is far more expensive than polyester or rayon, its synthetic counterpart. As a result, it's safe to assume that synthetic is better if your budget is restrictive. No need to select silk if you prefer polyester, though. Silk does tend to breathe better, though. An important feature to consider if your wedding is in the summer! Silk, in particular, generally also dyes very well, making it easy to get the color you want. Unfortunately, natural fabrics tend to wrinkle more easily, which sets us up for our next point: the fabric's tendency to wrinkle.
Nobody wants to wear a wrinkly wedding dress, or get progressively more wrinkled while you're wearing it. Do the wrinkle test: crush some of the gown's fabric in your fist and hold for a few seconds. Release then examine the fabric. How does the fabric look? Is it still as flawless as before? Smooth with few wrinkles is best.
Depending on the maker, fabrics differ in quality even if they are the same kind. One manufacturer's satin may vary considerably when compared to that of another manufacturer.
Here's a general guideline: softer fabric that drapes better on the body, is more matte and looks nicer overall usually means it's higher in quality.
These are just some of the fabric types bridal shops offer:
