We stock many different fabrics here at Calico Laine for all sorts of occasions. So what fabrics can be used for Bridal Wear? Depending on what sort of finish you are after, we have many different options to choose from! If you are looking for a high quality Satin which has a beautiful weight and body to it look no further than our Duchess Satin, it has a lovely matte shine finish to it as well. This fabric is perfect for wedding dresses, bridesmaids dresses and is even used to make into ties and cravats as there are some stunning colour choices available so you can keep your colour scheme throughout. Duchess Satin is 150cm wide (60") and is beautiful to work with. You can easily embellish it with Diamante and Trim and really is lovely quality.
If you want more of a textured look to your Bridal Wear, our Satin Back Crepe and Satin Back Dupion will guarantee a lovely finish. The Satin Back Crepe is satin one side and crepe the other. You can use it on either side and could always use both sides within the one garment which will create a beautiful textured look! The Satin Back Dupion looks and feels like pure silk. Both of these fabrics are lighter weight than the Duchess Satin which is perfect if you have younger bridesmaids as they will be easier to wear. It is also suitable for evening wear and prom dresses and comes in stunning rich colours.
We have a wide choice of different Satin in a range of weights, finishes and to suit all budgets too. Some of which are such value for money, they can be used to decorate your venue with your colour schemes!
Sheer Fabrics will add an elegant touch when used over your fabrics. They will add a stunning texture, body and movement to your garments and come in some superb colour choices which really compliment our range of Satin. We have a few choices to consider:
- Chiffon- This is a super sheer fabric. It flows wonderfully and will add real depth and a quality finish! It is 115 cm wide. We also an Extra Wide Chiffon which has recently been added to our range.
- Cationic Chiffon- A stunning two tone iridescent chiffon, which again is a lovely light weight fabric. The colours are so rich and catch different colour shots depending on which angle you look at it! Our Cationic Chiffon is 140 cm.
- Georgette- This is slightly heavier than chiffon and has a textured finish to it. It will create brilliant body and drapes really well.
- Mia Crinkled Yoryu- This is another of our recently added fabrics. It is beautifully soft to the touch and has a crinkled effect. The colours available are stunning and will add a beautiful flash of colour.
