dress with fabric.

With going along with the last post that I did, I felt that it was necessary to cover some of the basic types of fabrics that every bride should be familiar with.  Every kind of fabric has its own way to flow and make the dress appear. Another thing for brides to consider is that a fabric will look completely different on every bride. Finding the right fabric is just like finding the right shape of your wedding dress. I hope that the description of the top five wedding dress fabrics will help you in finding the perfect dress!!!

Satin - When you look at the fabric satin, you see the shinny surface and the glowing effect that is appealing. Most of the time, the wedding dresses will be embellished my adding lace, beads, or gems to make a dress have more glam. Satin dresses are a very free and flowing kind of fabric which lead to a sexy, romantic look. 


Silk - It is the most luxurious fabrics manufactured. This fabric is very breathable and versatile. It is also very flowing and free to walk in. Because of the smooth surface it has, it clings and fits a body of a bride which is a gorgeous look to a romantic wedding.  

Organza - This is one of the stiffer fabrics that you will find when you go wedding dress shopping. Because of the stiffness of this fabric, you will most likely find it in the dresses that have a fuller skirt or many layers. You will also find this fabric with a light lace overlay on it also. Lace always adds an additional touch to a glowing fabric. 

Brocade - This kind of fabric can make a dress look from traditional to modern and even stylish. Usually a soft brocade is used for wedding dresses to make them look more formal and elegant.  Some of these dresses will have a pattern in them by using threads woven into them. Also, you might see these elegant dresses in royal weddings that indicate status. 

Chiffon - This last kind of fabric is one that falls along your body and hangs perfectly by your body shape. It is a light fabric where you can see through one layer, that is the reason why  sometimes you will see multiple layers on a dress. These are also sometimes embellished to add more effect on your perfect wedding dress. 


For the description of the five types of fabrics, I found a list on www.gzyn.com. This website provides many different kinds of lists and articles regarding many topics. 
And for the pictures that I found to show you an example of each fabric, I used 
MonCheri dresses. I loved their website because you can narrow your search down by fabric, color, style, and many more options. It worked perfect for this blog post because I 
needed to narrow it down by fabric kind.  
Thank you to both websites!!!
