Choosing your wedding dress can be an absolute mind filed. So many tings to think about from the style to the time of year and also the venue. But what about what the dress is made of, the fabric! In what seems like a different life time, I worked as a dress designer. I spent 10 years of my life around fabrics, cutting sewing and generally loving the difference that each roll of fabric could offer an outfit. So today I am here to tell you about the different options that each fabric will give you. Some fabrics are good for the summer months, some better for winter. Some are straight and bold, while others are soft and delicate. In this guide I’ve compiled my favourite gown fabrics (and embellishments, too! ), plus styling tips for shopping! I hope you find it useful.

Chiffon
The transparency and sheerness of chiffon make it a popular option for overlays, layers, or accent details. The matte fabric is made from woven silk or rayon and has an ethereal vibe that’s perfect for boho brides. Due to its light structure, it’s a great spring or summer wedding option, while its weightless appearance makes it perfect for light, flowing silhouettes. Although delicate, the fabric can be easily snagged, pulled or frayed.
Batiste
The transparent fabric is lightweight and soft. It usually comes in an overlay or veil form. The embodiment of a sophisticated garden celebration, this material is perfect for spring or summer.
