TAFFETA FABRIC FOR WEDDING DRESSES
This fabric is distinguished by its brittle and crispy texture that rustles slightly during movements. High-level couturiers and stylists often rely on taffeta as an element to accompany or complement other fabrics in a dress, to provide contrast, or to create additional decorative elements.
At Bridal Fabrics, enjoy the different tones of this textile that shines subtly. The shot taffeta retains the light in a particular way, and the reflections produced show a dual tone from the two colors that are used in the weaving process. This dual tone can really highlight the cut of a dress and is eye-catching also.
TAFFETA: FOR WHAT TYPE OF WEDDING DRESS?
Whether it is a shot or dual tone taffeta, that is to say woven with threads of different colors allowing different reflections in the light, or it is simply made from a single thread, taffeta available from Bridal Fabrics brings charm and elegance to dresses. It is used for the design of short as well as long dresses, for the assembly of elegant bustiers. If you are looking to mimic a period dress for a theatre, tv, re-enactment or just for your own sewing project, this is definitely a first choice fabric. Taffeta for wedding dresses has been used in haute couture for example by Vera Wang and has fallen out of favour in the bridal industry in recent years but we are seeing a resurgence, with a significant quantity of taffeta fabric bustling and sweeping in dramatic and structural wedding dresses.
Whether you are looking to create a vintage or contemporary dress, the texture of taffeta allows you to take certain liberties: pleat, layer and puff out sleeves because of the crispness of the fabric. Many centuries ago, this woven silk fabric was appreciated in ancient Persia for its dual tonality. Today, designers still love the shimmer of this fabric creating elegant and refined dresses.
