Duchess satin is available in a wide variety of colour options including the classic bridal hues of white and ivory alongside other more adventurous shades such as yellow and cerise which are often selected for dressing the brides maids.

Popular for it's particularly feminine appearance, lace is a particularly popular choice for beach weddings. Our heavy corded lace is perhaps the most popular of our lace Bridal Fabrics and works wonderfully when paired alongside other materials including satin to create a delicate and feminine gown. Lace does not have to feature as the main fabric but can be used for adding a point of interest to your gown such as an ornate neckline or hem. Satin Back Crepe - slightly lighter in weight than many of our other satin Bridal Fabrics, satin back crepe is renowned for its stunning drape and flow. This reversible fabric can be used on either the matte or the shiny side dependent upon your preference and can be paired with other sheer fabrics such as chiffon or organza.
