FASHIon A Primer in Wedding Dress Fabrics By kelsey Nagie edding dresses of different shapes, sizes, styles, and silhouettes frequent the bridal shops year round giving blushing brides innumerous chances to find their very own “it” dress for the big day. Particular styles work well for specific body types, creating a charmed look for such a special occasion. Along with style, materials and fabrics play a significant role in the decision making process for finalizing the dress du jour. Traditional dresses to contemporary dresses all don the same types of material—from satin or lace to taffeta or chiffon, a distinct look and feel coincides with each fabric. Take taffeta for example. Fantastic durability due to its thickness and stiffness, it appears shiny and matte simultaneously. Taffeta is one of the more popular choices for wedding dress construction than other materials, W with sturdiness as its' appeal. While taffeta is crisp, it can fit a conservative wedding ceremony, but flexible enough to dress a contemporary, edgy bride who admires the qualities of the cloth. With a strong contrast to taffeta, lace is another popular choice among brides due to its delicate nature and soft allure. Lace itself has multiple selections, varying from small woven patterns to larger, recognizable arrangements. Having several options to choose from, the price of a lace dress, whether one hundred percent lace or a dress embellished with lace, can get costly. The cost is specifically based on the quality and intricateness of the lace selected, woven with synthetic or organic material. It is inevitable, and often expected, that some dresses will get a little dirty around the base from the events of the day. Nevertheless, the majority of fabrics continue to shine brightly and survive the test of time. Among the stable fabrics like lace and taffeta, wedding gowns can also be designed with satin or chiffon, and in several instances, be combined together in layers to create a unique look. satin is often used as an underlay to other fabrics; however, it can certainly stand by itself. With a shiny luster and a soft touch, satin demonstrates a romantic side of the bride that can be embroidered with beads, jewels, bows, or buttons. Possibly the most accommodating of wedding dress materials, satin has a soft beauty many brides appreciate. All fabrics, in relation to wedding dress styles, perform a common elegant function for wedding day attire. Chiffon, taffeta, lace, satin, and so forth can fit any bride’s taste and budget, it is just up to the buyer to decide which she feels to be most beautiful. o o 134 Sierrastyle Weddings Summer/Fall 2008 sierrastyle.com Photo of cover model finalist Michelle Dobin by The Memory Journalists, memoryjournalists.com.
