Of course, organza can be used to beautiful effect in clean, untextured sheets, like the gowns shown below. The sheer overlay of these skirts lend a softness and ethereal quality. A close cousin of organza is chiffon. Alike in that they are both sheer, but different in the way they drape, chiffon is a classic fabrication for beach weddings. While organza is crisp and has a stiffer hand, chiffon has a beautiful drape and flow.
If you love the drape of chiffon but want something with a bit more sheen, charmeuse might be for you. Rounding out the most commonly used bridal fabrics is raw silk, usually referred to as either dupioni doo-pee-oh-knee or shantung just like it looks. Raw silks are lightweight and characterized by their unusual texture, known as slubbing. The slubs in raw silks can be very pronounced usually dupioni , or barely noticeable usually shantung.
There are also synthetic versions of these fabrics, which are woven to replicate the nubby texture of the silks. Making a comeback in a big way is tulle, or English net. Net used on the outside of a gown is the same idea as the stiff crinolines underneath, but is generally softer and has a finer gauge. Tulle or net is most often made of a synthetic such as nylon.
Silk tulle most certainly exists, but it is generally very expensive and almost too delicate. Any net can snag easily, but silk net is incredibly fragile. Add to that the fact that most gowns utilizing net use lots and lots of it, and the price can get prohibitive quite quickly.
The way that the fabric draped and clung to her head was a clue to me that the net was softer, finer, and unsurprisingly! Laura lap February 22, at AM. Moe February 22, at AM. Peter Lappin February 22, at AM. Ellen February 22, at AM. Hoosiermama February 22, at AM. Lauriana February 22, at PM.
