What is the best silk for a high quality wedding gown? ----by Lynn from Predatex Silk.

 Among all the usage of silk fabrics, making high-end wedding gowns has always possessed an important role!!  The most regularly used silks are SatinCharmeuse, Duchess Satin, Dupioni, Faille(Crepe de chine), Chiffon, Taffeta, Organza, Georgette and etc.

  

  Satin Charmeuse is boneless, soft and shiny. Some use media weight satin charmeuse in about 19-22mm, other higher end uses 30mm satin or even 40mm satin!! 40mm has been the heaviest ever in silk satin and of course most expensive& luxurious!! Predatex Silk produce these items regularly and you buy from us in wholesales prices.

  Duchess Satin is also very welcomed to make wedding gowns due to its marvelous handfeel and unique drape! Normally 26.5mm is widely used.

  Silk Crepe de chine, some places was called silk faille, is widely used in bridal dresses. One reason is that its shine is not that dazzling as satins but more calm and comfortable. Another reason is that it does not easily get creased as the other silks due to its high twisted yarn used. So it is much more durable than the other silks. Some customers would like to have 40mm heavy crepe de chine and some even want the 40mm crepe de chine with elastic!! No problem! You can get all these from www.predatextile.com !!

  Of course, many other silks are used by wedding brands such as dupion, chiffon, organza…

We shall try to explain them better next time!
