The expression of a dress changes depending on the fabric!
Currently popular tulle and silk... How many types of dress fabrics can you name? ♡ The expression of a dress can be completely different even with a similar design, depending on the fabric used!*
Introducing the characteristics and dresses of five types of fabric ♡
This time, we will introduce five types of fabric commonly used in dresses♩ The impression can change depending on the fabric, so let's learn to distinguish them now! ♡
Tulle is a mesh material that has a net pattern when viewed closely* There are two types: soft tulle, which looks and feels soft, and hard tulle, which is more rigid*
The veil that brides often wear during the ceremony is also often made of tulle♡ The characteristics of a tulle dress are its overall transparency and softness, along with a blurred hemline that appears sheer*
Tulle is abundantly used in the famous dress "Ballerina" by Vera Wang and White by Vera Wang, right? ♩
Fabric processed to have glitter on top of tulle is called glitter tulle. Kiyoko Hata × Marry's Crystal Flower is just that!♡
It's dazzlingly sparkling.
Wedding Dress Fabric ② Organza
Organza is a material that is difficult to distinguish from tulle. Unlike tulle, organza has no net pattern and is semi-transparent with a light luster*
The characteristics of an organza dress are that it has a smoother and crisper feel than tulle, so dresses with gentle ruffles or those that maintain a uniform transparency are often made of organza♡
This green colored dress by NOVARESE features three layers of ruffles made of organza for a smooth silhouette, with tulle used beneath to add volume ♩
Wedding Dress Fabric ③ Georgette
Georgette fabric is a type of crepe material with fine unevenness on the surface♡ It is also characterized by being resistant to shaping wrinkles*
The features of dresses made with georgette are their matte finish and a texture that fits the shape of the body♡ The drape shapes beautifully, creating soft shadows with every movement*
Vera Wang’s dress "PIA" from the 2015 autumn collection also uses georgette fabric for the upper half♡ The matte texture is stylish… ♩
You can see that the back ruffles of Giuseppe Papini's mikado silk dress are linear and have structure ♩ Its elegant beauty is wonderful!♡
Wedding Dress Fabric ⑤ Taffeta
Taffeta is a fabric characterized by its wrinkled texture and unique stiff impression with a lustrous finish* Recently, more brands have been using it for dresses♩
Dresses made with taffeta are very lightweight and easy to move in♡ Unlike silk, it provides a stiff luster, giving a friendly yet elegant impression ♩
