Each one having its specificity, it is necessary to know that all the fabrics are not suitable to make an evening dress or ceremony dress ! If you want to make a custom dress, then know how to make the right choice.
SATIN CEREMONIAL DRESS
The fabric most used to make ceremonial dresses, satin is a noble fabric par excellence. Appreciated for its shine and its surface both very pleasant to the touch and to wear, satin fabric is available in two types of materials: duchess satin and stretch satin. Duchess satin is most often found in wedding dresses but can also be used for evening gowns.
With its natural shine, there is no need to overload your dress with accessories. A pearl necklace or a set of earrings - necklace and a pretty bracelet will do the trick perfectly. Don't forget the little black clutch to complete your outfit.
SILK CHIFFON CEREMONIAL DRESS
This fabric is characterized by its lightness, letting the skin breathe through its transparency! A perfect fabric to wear in summer especially for those who like dresses with movement or draped dresses. Plain or printed changing silk chiffon, long or short evening gown, choose an aerial model to highlight your outfit!
A few well chosen costume jewels, a shawl or a stole in the same material will brighten up your chiffon evening dress.
TAFFETA CEREMONY DRESS
Taffeta is the fabric of reference for the making of wedding and ceremony dresses, but it has a certain disadvantage since it folds easily. Its fineness, flexibility and changing reflections nevertheless prevail. In the making of wedding dresses, taffeta allows to "inflate" the flounces and to bring a certain volume to the whole.
A fabric to be reserved for the making of very dressy models, one will limit oneself on the accessory side to discreet and elegant jewels, the fabric already offering many brilliant reflections.
TULLE CEREMONIAL DRESS
With such a fabric, one will bet on a vaporous model, preferably long. Depending on the cut, you will be able to create a beautiful sophisticated effect mixing transparency and "swelling". A fabric that we recommend for those who wish to make a bridesmaid's dress, a princess dress or a wedding dress to add even more romance.
LACE CEREMONIAL DRESS
Extremely feminine fabric, lace is more often used as an ornament and as a bridal gown. Requiring a lot of care and precision if it is handmade, it is a fabric whose price can be high depending on the method of manufacture.
Attention, these fabrics are not machine washable but hand washable! To preserve them, hang them on a hanger and wrap them with tissue paper first and then finally with a thicker protective cover. Of course, a dry place away from the light will be perfect to store your evening or formal dress. For more precautions, don't forget to put moth repellent in your wardrobe.
