Chiffon
While many people may think of delicious desserts when they hear the word chiffon, this term also describes a delicate fabric that is used to make wedding gowns. Usually made from real or synthetic silk, chiffon is a sheer fabric that completes the outer layer of a wedding dress, giving it a glossy sheen that really makes the bride stand out. Many brides prefer chiffon because of its flexibility, making it easy to move around in, and it feels nice on the skin. For my part, I love this most.
Lace
It is fair to say that the majority of wedding gowns contain at least a little lace, but some contain more than others. There are many different types of lace, and many different ways to use it, including to layer a skirt, on sleeves or shoulder straps, on a veil, or to decorate the outside of the dress.
Satin
One of the most elegant fabrics, satin has been associated with class and glamour since its popular introduction into the fashion world. Because it is lightweight, many brides prefer this material because it makes for comfortable and flowing wedding dresses. Satin, however, can wrinkle very easily, which can lead to unsightly bulges on the day of the wedding. Be sure to store your satin wedding dress with care before your wedding, or visit a certified wedding gown specialist to bring it to top quality before the big day!
Taffeta
Taffeta is a stiff fabric that many brides like because of its ability to shape the form of the body. It gives wedding gowns a luxurious feel, while also creating a swishing sound that many brides enjoy hearing as they walk down the aisle. Wrinkling can be an issue with taffeta, and ironing is very bad for this delicate fabric, so you will need to visit the dry cleaner in order to preserve its seamless look.
