Posted on Feb 18, 2015 6:30am PST
When it comes to wedding dresses, brides have a wide array of fabrics from
which they can choose. Silk fabric, lace fabric, and even velvet fabric
may all be suitable options depending on the season and the bride’s
style preferences. Taffeta and satin are two more popular bridal fabric
options. Wedding fabric experts note that taffeta is a stiffer fabric,
which can give bridal gowns more structure. It also happens to be more
matte in appearance when compared to satin. Because satin is a shinier
and limper fabric, it makes a great material for wedding dresses meant
to cling more closely to the body. This video explains the varying characteristics
of satin and taffeta.
Different types of
wedding fabric can determine the shape and style of a bridal gown, so be sure to shop
for wedding dress fabrics in person at a fabric showroom in San Francisco.
