Now that the bad winter weather has (mostly) gone away, a lot of our customers are seeking inspiration for their weddings this year. With so many different bridal fabrics available, it can be a little bit daunting trying to find the perfect one for your big day, so in today’s blog we’ll be talking about some of our most popular bridal fabrics that we have available for purchase. Duchess Satin – Our heaviest weight satin, this beautiful bridal fabric comes in numerous colours and looks absolutely stunning before and after being made up. Because of its weight, it is less likely to shift about when being sewn. Our duchess satin is 150cm/60” wide and is available at £8.99 a metre. Satin Back Crepe – With satin back crepe, there is the ability to use either side of the fabric; one side has a lustrous satin shine, while the other has a lovely crepe finish to it. These options can be used to create contrasting panels in a garment, which makes for an interesting and eye-catching look. Our satin back crepe is 115cm/45” wide and is £5.99 a metre and is a very popular bridal fabric. Satin Back Dupion – As with the satin back crepe, the satin back dupion is also reversible. The weave of this bridal fabric is put together in such a way that there are slubs in the design, which is sure to make someone look twice at a garment made out of it. It has a slightly stiff feel to it, which would be great for dresses that need that extra ‘poof’. Our satin back dupion is 115cm/45” wide and is £6.99 a metre. Taffeta – Our taffeta is one of our most popular bridal fabrics thanks in part to our massive colour range; with so many different shades available, there is bound to be at least one that suits your tastes. Taffeta is another bridal fabric with a stiff feel to it, which explains why it is also a popular choice for prom dresses as well as bridal gowns and bridesmaid dresses. Our taffeta is 150cm/60” wide and is £5.99 a metre. We stock several other types of satins, and we also offer samples for practically of all of our bridal fabrics if you wish to take a look at them in person. Samples are available to purchase through our website at the price of £1.00 each, and there is no limit on how many you can select. Have you ever made anything using any of these fabrics? Perhaps you made your own bridesmaid dresses or even your own bridal gown? Upload a photograph to our Facebook page – we love seeing what our customers come up with!
