Choosing Your Bridal Fabrics


Whether you buy your wedding gown off the rack, or have it made to measure, you will need to know what type of fabric will best suit your dress style, and your figure. Lisa Merton from Culture Shock Bridal and Eveningwear explains what to look for in bridal fabrics, and where to go to find them!
Your wedding gown is probably the most precious (and expensive) dress you will ever own, so it is important to make the right decisions when it comes to choosing your fabrics. There are so many things to consider – the look, quality, weight, weave, colour, texture, drape, care and wearability. The most important rule to remember is that you get what you pay for … generally speaking, the more expensive the fabric, the better quality it will be, and the longer it will last.
Beaded and embroidered fabrics can vary dramatically in quality, and come in many combinations and styles. The best quality beaded and embroidered eveningwear fabrics are done on a silk base, such as silk georgette, although these days many polyester and viscose fabrics are used as well. Always ask what quality the base fabric is when you are shopping around. To check the quality of the workmanship, look at the back of the beaded or embroidered fabric and make sure the holding threads are secure and not too long. If the threads are loose you will end up with beads or stitches falling off and possibly catching on jewellery .. not a good thing! .
The best quality beads are glass or crystal, and they are much easier and safer to dry clean, as they do not melt or tarnish. Plastic sequins or beads can easily melt with heat and certain chemicals used in dry cleaning … always get your dry cleaner to test the beads first if you are not sure of their content.
Swarovski crystals, beads and pearls are very high in quality, and come in a great range of sizes and colours … good couturiers use Swarovski for all their beading needs.The amount of beading or embroidery on the fabric will greatly affect the price, as will the country of origin.
Beaded fabrics can cost between $60 - $500 per metre, depending on the amount of work and the quality of the base fabric. Beaded fabrics are tricky to work with, so a dressmaker or couturier will charge more to cover the extra care and time taken handling the delicate fabric. Often the dressmaker will have to unpick beads around seams, hems and panel-lines, which is time consuming and very fiddly.
Laces are another example of fabric that can vary dramatically in quality and price. The best laces produced today are French, Italian and Swiss, but there are some fantastic laces coming out of Asia too. French “Chantilly Lace” is usually regarded as the finest, most delicate and highly sought-after, and can cost anywhere between $150 - $700 per metre, depending on the detailing. It is usually a floral pattern and can often have several shades or colours within the design, plus a scalloped border on one or both edges (selveges). There are cheaper copies of this style of lace, but they are never as light or dainty as the original.
Chantilly lace looks great when it is lined with a slightly darker or lighter contrast colour, which emphasises the detail and colour of the lace. Laces are often beaded as well, which greatly enhances the detail of the lace pattern and adds weight and depth. “Guipure Lace” is another popular lace for brides, and was very widely used in the 1950’s and 60’s for bodices and sleeves of wedding gowns. It is woven from cotton, is heavier and slightly chunky texture, usually white and floral and is very pure, clean and innocent looking.
Guipure lace has a lot more coverage than other laces, so it is great for sleeves and bodices when you don’t want too much skin to show. Border or graduated designs on netting are popular these days, especially on a tulle base (where the design is embroidered onto the tulle to give the appearance of lace). Although strictly speaking this fabric is not really a lace, it has the look, weight and feel of lace, but can be less expensive. A graduated pattern is when the design is heavily embroidered on one side of the fabric, then it gradually fades to a scattered and spaced-out design on the other side. This kind of fabric works well in empire-line dresses, where you can feature the heavily embroidered design near your feet, then have it fade away towards waistline, then again use the heavy design around the bodice.
A lot of laces are quite narrow in width (usually around 90 cm wide only) so empire lines and other designed panel-lines work well when a join in the lace is required. Other laces to look out for are knitted “Stretch Lace”, which is quite cheap, and handy for tight-fitting dresses, bodices and sleeves, and “Raschel Lace”, which is also reasonably priced, usually nylon or viscose, but can look good when combined in layers with other fabrics.
“Metallic Lace” with silver, gold or bronze metallic thread can look fantastic, but always feel the back of the lace to make sure it’s not too harsh and scratchy, as the metallic threads can cause irritation to sensitive skin.

9 Celebrity looks for your wedding day

Every bride wants to stand out her wedding day (really, who doesn’t?), but it may take a little Hollywood inspiration to ensure that you’re a total knockout when you walk down the aisle. Want to know how you can transform yourself into the ultimate A-lister, minus the designer price tag? Check out these celebrity essentials for ’09.
The Dress
Think glamorous, romantic, and goddess-like. There’s nothing shy about this season’s sexy silhouettes -- more is definitely more!
Big Dress Details: Crystal belts, crumb catchers, ruffled rows, and big bows are just some of the fabulous finishes that have been spotted on the red carpet this award show season. While stars like Heidi Klum went for shock value (her Golden Globes look featured a black and red polka dot vintage Galanos dress with a huge rosette), we were awed by elegant crumb catcher detailing (Globes presenter Kate Beckinsale gets our best-dressed vote), and by large, ornate bows (like the one on Katy Perry’s Grammy choice -- a pink Basil Soda gown).
Bare Shoulders: Asymmetrical tops and halter straps are a must this season. While strapless dresses will most likely always be a wedding staple, an asymmetrical look adds a demure finish to an evening gown. Cameron Diaz dazzled at the Golden Globes in a bright pink asymmetrical Chanel Haute Couture gown; Oscar favorite Kate Winslet kept cameras clicking as she slinked down the red carpet at the BAFTAs in a black Zac Posen halter dress. Bonus: Each of these styles manages to flatter both a slim silhouette and brides with a fuller figure!
Bold Blues and Soft Yellows: Bright blues and canary hues have been hard to miss this award show season. These fresh colors can add zing to your wedding color palette when paired with a soft metallic. Golden goddesses Christina Applegate and Marisa Tomei have recently heated up the red carpet in delicate daffodil, while stars like Angelina Jolie and Nicolette Sheridan struck a pose in rich, ocean-inspired tones.

Advice on Wedding Dresses and Bridal Fashion


It is said that a woman has three significant moments in her life: The day she was born, the day she gives birth, and her wedding day. With the first and second moments, sense of fashion and style is irrelevant. But with the third, looking and feeling your best is crucial! Unfortunately for most brides-to-be, the days leading up to the wedding can turn out to be some of the most stressful, and the end-result is far from perfect. However, it need not be so.
The most important aspect of the wedding is the bridal wear – the gown for the bride, dresses for the bridesmaid and mothers of the bride and groom, and the suits for the groom and bestmen. The number of fashion options available for wedding and bridal couture is endless, and the task of choosing the right styles can be daunting.
While off-the-shelf wedding dresses
are often easy to find and purchase, the fit is rarely perfect. Therefore, the best advice for a bride-to-be is to have a dress tailor-made. Standard wedding dress materials include silk, chiffons, georgettes and laces (for accessories).
To look good is to feel good, and so the right match of material and style is important. d’Italia, a designer fabric store in Malvern, strongly recommends a visit to some top-end bridal boutiques to try on different styles before visiting the fabric store, for the following reasons:
1.  to be sure that the style you had in mind does in fact suit your body shape.
2. in case you might see some other styles you had not considered, which you should try on in case you end up liking them better.
3. to compare the feel of different types of fabrics, such as soft, flowing crepe satins or stiffer, firmer dupion or duchess satins.
4.  to literally move - and we mean MOVE!- around in the styles to be sure you will be comfortable sitting, dancing, getting in and out of cars, etc...this is most important.
5. o experience what it is like to wear different lengths of trains, as you may decide afterwards that you would prefer not to have one at all.
6. to see what different shades of traditional bridal colours actually look like on your skin - such as white, silk white, ivory, champagne, oyster, etc.
d’Italia has in store the finest in bridal couture quality. It also has optional referral services to some of Australia’s best wedding couture seamstresses. Additionally, recommendations of best fit and styles are available in-store. For those stressed-out brides-to-be, visiting such a store is the best option available to obtain the perfect wedding dress.
d’Italia’s cloth comes directly from the same European manufacturers who supply to haute couture labels like Gucci, Armani and Escada. The available fabrics in-store are also perfect for the tailored creations for bridesmaids and mother-of-the-bride dresses. Referrals to seamstresses who specialise in evening wear and dinner gowns are also an available option.

Which silhouette is right for your body type? Trumpet? Ball gown? A-line? Are you partial to a certain neckline? Sweetheart? Strapless? Halter? You don’t have to make a decision before hit the store, but be you should be familiar with what’s out there, what you want, and what you’re willing to spend.
2.Keep the Theme in Mind
Planning a formal wedding? Keeping it beach-casual? A wedding dress that's appropriate for a black-tie affair (floor-length, with intricate detailing) looks much different than a dress that's perfect for fun in the sun (shorter, with lighter fabric and minimal embellishments). Plan to limit your selections to gowns that are appropriate for your wedding theme. Consider the season as well. Lighter fabrics, like silk tulle, organza, and charmeuse, and tea-length skirts are fine for spring, but winter weddings call for heavier fabrics and longer lengths. Once you’ve narrowed down your style, scour the web and magazines for pictures of your favorite wedding gowns. Bring them along to your appointment so the sales associate has a better idea of what you’re looking for.
3.Think About Your Hair
Though we’re not recommending that you book a pricey salon appointment before your first dress fitting, it is a good idea to wear your hair in a style similar to the one you’re planning to have on your wedding day. Your hairstyle, along with your accessories, will complete your bridal look. If you try on a gown while your hair is down and love the way it looks, you might wind up unpleasantly surprised with how much the look has changed if you end up opting for an updo.
4.Go Au Naturel
The day you’re headed to the bridal salon, ditch your usual scent and makeup. As much as you may want to look (and smell) good that day, cosmetics can actually stain or damage gown samples. Messy deodorant is another gown-shopping no-no. Wear an invisible or clear type and opt for a gel instead of a powder. The same goes for your first official fitting. (The last thing you ever want to do is damage your dress before you’ve worn it, right?)
5.Go Lingerie Shopping
There is no one bra or pair of panties that will work with every gown, but if you have a pretty good idea of what you want to buy, bringing the right bra is a plus. Have your heart set on something satin? Choose a contouring bra and panty set to ensure your body has a sleek silhouette. Have a large chest? Wear a minimizer to make your bust appear smaller, or your best push-up bra to add curves. If you don't want to wear a body slimmer, consider bringing a good pair of control top pantyhose instead -- they can work miracles!
