What Fabrics Are Best?
When it comes to selecting a dress, the proper route to take is to discern which type of material you’ll want to feel. The look is secondary to the sensations of the fabric against your skin. If it is too itchy or stiff, it can dramatically change your mood. Likewise, if the material falls unnaturally or shines too brightly for the occasion you might not appreciate your look as thoroughly. Ideally, you’ll want the textile that leaves the greatest impression both physically and visually.
Dupioni Silk
This textile offers one of the more pleasurable sensations you could find. With the use of two separate silkworms, there is a combination of textures that give a ribbed and heavy look. However, given that it is silk, the heft actually makes it more versatile. This sort of material can be used during all times of the year.
Tulle
When you think of that whimsical and cloud-like fabric that seems to float off the dress, Tulle is probably what you imagine. This material is very thin and sheer, it is a net-like material that is incredibly lightweight. Tulle would be used for the tail of the dress for a voluminous Cinderella-esque ball gown.
Brocade
While the actual material itself can vary, brocade is a very popular type of material for multiple reasons. First, this is due to its heavy weight, which gives it a rich texture that can be used during the wintertime to keep the bride warm and yet stylish. The other incredibly beautiful reason is the raised patterns and motifs that you’ll find embroidered into this fabric. It can be both dazzling and entrancing.
The Silhouette Is Everything!
Once you’ve chosen your favorite fabric, blending it with your figure comes next. The silhouette of the dress is all about personality and how you feel about yourself and your body. Whether you have insecurities or want to flaunt, there are dresses that can help with either. It’s always best to follow your body and find the dresses that complement your frame, though. We’ve provided a couple of types below just to give you an idea of what your options are!
Trumpet
For this sort of dress, you will want to have confidence in your curves. It is an elegant style that hugs your contours intimately. The seam of the dress will follow the length of your torso and run all the way past your hips. At that point, they will flare out around the upper thigh and release a very free-flowing train. Women that have an hourglass-type body, or are apple-shaped, will find balance and harmony in this dress. Your perfection will be accentuated, and if you want to camouflage your lower body, the flare out at the hips will leave much to the imagination.
A line
This type is perfect for all body types and will complement you at any angle. It’s simply the most organic design that follows the natural flow of your body, breaks at your hips, and holds your frame gently. The way that the train breaks from the bodice will give the appearance of an “A” outline. Hence the name! Regardless of your concerns, it’s one look that will surely cause you no problems.
Sheath
With a dress like this, we would recommend petite women or those that want a simpler structure for their dress. This kind of dress hugs the body throughout and the simplicity in the use of fabric keeps the torso free from any seams or distractions. It will give the appearance of you being taller and with the right kind of fabric, such as Charmeuse or Dupioni, it will radiate a lustrous shine that will emboss your natural curves.
