    Wedding dress Fabric Glossary (I)

    Can not distinguish the fabric of your winter wedding dresses and cannot decide which will be the most suitable one for you? Here is the bridal dresses fabric glossary for you to get to know them.
    Fabric Terms
    Batiste: A lightweight, soft, transparent fabric.
    Brocade: A Jacquard-woven fabric with raised designs; traditionally popular for fall and winter, now also worn in warmer weather.
    Charmeuse: A lightweight, semi-lustrous soft fabric, that is satin-like to the touch.
    Chiffon: Delicate, sheer, and transparent -- made from silk or rayon, with a soft finish; often layered because of its transparency, making it popular for overskirts, sheer sleeves, and wraps. It is common used in customizing the plus size wedding dresses.
    Crepe: A light, soft, and thin fabric with a crinkled surface.
    Damask: Similar to brocade with raised designs, but woven in a much lighter weight.
    Duchesse Satin: A lightweight hybrid of silk and rayon (or polyester) woven into a satin finish.
    Dupioni: A finish similar to shantung, but with thicker, coarser fibers, and a slight sheen.
    Faille: A structured, ribbed finish like grosgrain ribbon; usually quite substantial.
    Gabardine: A tightly-woven, firm and durable finish, with single diagonal lines on the face.
    Georgette: A sheer, lightweight fabric often made of polyester or silk with a crepe surface.
    Illusion: A fine, sheer net fabric, generally used on sleeves or necklines.
    Jersey: A very elastic knit fabric; the face has lengthwise ribs and the underside has crosswise ribs.
    Moire: A heavy silk taffeta with a subtle, wavy design.
    Organdy: A stiff transparent fabric.
