When making a Bridal Dress there are many factors to take into consideration. Here at Calico Laine we strive to bring you the biggest and best choice of colours and fabrics that are available. As this is the biggest day of your life we will try and help you decide on the options that are available! A perfect choice for Bridal Wear is our range of Duchess Satin, which is a heavier weight stunning fabric. Duchess Satin is made from 100% polyester and is 150cm (60") wide. It has a matte look which is subtly beautiful and is also ideal to make into your bridesmaid dresses as there are a brilliant selection of colours to choose from! If you are looking for a Satin but want a lighter option, Super Soft Duchess Satin is a lovely alternative. Again, it is the same width and still has that stunning matte finish but is slightly lighter in weight so will have a more draped effect! Satin Back Crepe is also another popular choice. The great thing about this fabric is that you can use it on either side, either the satin side, which has a simply stunning shine to it and will catch the light beautifully. If you are looking for more of a textured look. you can simply use the Crepe side! To really add a unique and textured look to your garment,m you could team your chosen Satin up with a Chiffon. We have a wide selection of Chiffon, Georgette, Mia Crinkled Yoryu, which has slightly different effects but create a subtle sheer look and will add an elegant touch to your garments!
