When it comes to planning and Dressmaking the garments for your big day, there are many options when it comes to choosing your Bridal Fabrics. Here at Calico Laine we stock an extensive range of Bridal Fabrics that are perfect for all of your Bridal garments, ranging from Bridal gowns, to Bridesmaids dresses and Mother of the Bride outifts. We also stock Bridal Fabrics that can even be used for the decoration of venues and Wedding Accessories, so you really are spoilt for choice! One of the best selling types of material amongst our customers is Duchess Satin. Our Duchess Satins are one of our most popular Bridal Fabrics, and this is most commonly used for the main bodies of Bridal garments such as the dress itself. Depending on the look you are aiming for with your Bridal outfits, we have a few different options with the Satin Bridal Fabrics - the heavier weight Duchess Satin is ideal for those who are after a more traditional look, whereas the Super Soft Duchess Satin is a beautiful option when it comes to more contemporary and floaty designs. Another option that may be considered for a more contemporary style of gown is Taffeta. Taffeta is a beautiful Bridal Fabric to be used for bridesmaids dresses and even with the Bridal gown itself. Taffeta is famous for the ‘rustling’ noise it makes when it its moved, and is a high class Bridal Fabric with a high quality look and finish when it is used to create garments. It is also a beautiful Bridal Fabric to be used with other Fabrics such as Chiffon or Organza for a more layered effect. It is a plain woven Bridal Fabric that is smooth to the touch and is 100% polyester. The Taffeta Bridal Fabric that we stock here comes from Germany in a width of 150cm. We currently have an extensive range of different shades, many of these are even two-tone meaning that the colour appears different in different lights, providing an unusual spin on bridal garments. These are just a couple of the options that you have within your Dressmaking for those special occasions.
