The same silhouette in two different fabrics looks like two dresses. The material decides the drape, the weight and the way a gown catches the light — so it is worth understanding before you fall for the first design.
Lace
Romantic and timeless. It brings texture and softness, and depending on the pattern reads as classic or modern. It sits beautifully over a lining that gives it structure.
Silk and mikado
Mikado is a heavier, smooth silk that holds its shape wonderfully — perfect for clean, sculptural cuts and for brides who want refined simplicity. Classic silk is softer and falls more fluidly.
Tulle
Light and airy, tulle creates volume without weight. Ideal for full skirts and for soft, dreamy layers. It is very flattering in photographs.
Crepe and satin
Crepe follows the line of the body and is a calm, modern choice for straight cuts. Satin is smooth and lustrous, emphasising every line — luxurious, but it asks for a confident posture.
Which fabric for which season
- Summer: light tulle, lace and crepe — airy and comfortable in the warmth.
- Winter: mikado and heavier silk hold warmth and fall beautifully in a more formal setting.
At your fitting we help you feel the difference in person — because fabric is best understood when you see it on yourself, not in a photograph.
