Wedding Dress Material ① Satin

Satin fabric has a beautiful sheen on its surface. Although satin can refer to various types, made from silk or polyester, high-quality, thicker satin with a calming luster is often used for wedding dresses.

Since the fabric itself radiates a gorgeous sparkle, satin wedding dresses give an elegant and noble impression.

Many satin wedding dresses tend to have simple designs due to the fabric's luxurious appearance. The flowing, smooth satin highlights the silhouette of the skirt, resulting in a dress with graceful movement.

Wedding Dress Material ② Tulle

Next, we will introduce tulle. Tulle refers to a mesh fabric with fine netting patterns. It is commonly used not only for the skirts of wedding dresses but also for petticoats and veils.

The characteristic of tulle dresses is their volume and softness. By layering tulle fabric, you create a wedding dress that has a fluffy, airy quality.

Wedding Dress Material ③ Organza

Organza is a delicate, thin, and translucent fabric. It is often confused with tulle; however, unlike tulle, organza does not have a netting structure and is characterized by its even and smooth texture.

Dresses made of organza have a soft, flowing feel and convey a feminine impression.

The soft organza ruffles create a very delicate atmosphere. Multiple layers of semi-transparent fabric give the hem a softly graduated finish.

Wedding Dress Material ④ Georgette

Georgette is a lightweight fabric with a chiffon-like drape. It has a smooth texture and transparency. It is a matte material with no luster, characterized by its fit to the body's shape.

Since it beautifully displays drape shapes, graceful shadows are created with every movement. It is often used in empire line and slender line dresses.

Wedding Dress Material ⑤ Mikado Silk

Mikado silk is one of the highest-quality silks. It has a soft luster and a rich sheen.

It is said to be one of the most prestigious fabrics among dress materials, but at the same time, it is delicate and can be tricky to handle.

To maximize the noble appeal of the fabric, it seems that simple dress designs are more common.

Wedding Dress Material ⑥ Taffeta

Lastly, we have taffeta, a silk fabric with a strong sheen and crisp texture. The fabric exhibits fine horizontal ribs, creating a unique wrinkle effect and shadows.

It has a distinctive stiff texture. It easily lends itself to a three-dimensional appearance, which is why it is often made into glamorous princess line dresses.
