Materials
Satin - Mostly used material for wedding gowns. It features glossy and massy. Satin often made with polyester, acetate, nylon, and rayon, or blended.
Chiffon - The trend is more and more high-end wedding gowns are made of chiffon fabric due to its soft, sheer and lightweight. Chiffon is a textile made from silk, cotton, nylon, polyester, or rayon, or blended.
Voile - Voile is a sheer slippery material, usually made of polyester or cotton blends, hangs gracefully and often used as formal window sheers. Can be used in layers or used over a sturdier material.
Tulle - is actually net, often starched and is stiff. Usually used in veil and skirt
Taffeta - another popular fabric for wedding dresses, features stiff, lustrous and crisp
Lace - is an openwork fabric, patterned with open holes in the work, made by machine or by hand.
Organza - A slightly looser variation on the weave will result in sheer looking fabric.
Silk - The finest fabric used for dresses. However, not every gown style is available in silk material.
