The Right Fabric for Designer Clothes

Choosing a style and design for a custom tailored piece of clothing is usually the easiest part. The hard part comes when selecting the right fabric material with a design. Fashionable clothing does not only rely on the cut and style. Fabrics are important to ensure fit, match, flexibility and comfort.

Wedding Dresses

Bridal wear is generally made from dupion, voiles, chiffons georgettes and silk satin. The season that the wedding is held does and can make a difference to the type of material to choose when custom tailoring a dress. Silk satins tend to be airier and looser, thus allowing ease of movement and temperature wise comfort. Embroidered and plain fabric is usually available, and a combination of both can result in a very unique designer dress.

Evening Gowns

The occasions usually define the type of dress and the fabric chosen. Dresses and gowns for proms and formals are usually made to allow ease of movement for the dances and after-parties nightlife. Designer Gowns made for formal dinner parties can be more detailed in style and design. Colors also play a critical role in occasion and fabric. Brighter colors on voiles, chiffons or silk satins can be used for proms and formals. Heavier silk velvet is usually very lovely on a formal dinner gown for the more mature woman. Accessories like embroidered French beadings and lace can also create a very unique look.

Spring Racing Carnival Dresses

The Melbourne Cup races, also known as the urban fashion parade are not for the simple and mediocre. For racing wear, the more unique the design, the better. A popular fabric used is georgette and silk satin. These fabrics allow ease of movement, are light, and can always be found in spring inspired colors which are bright, and designs.

Suits and Business Attire

A well-tailored suit can highlight a woman's figure and accentuate the positive side. Good designer suits are made of 100% wool. Cashmere is another popular and suitable fabric that can be used. Pure wool is essential, to avoid shrinking or disfigurement of the suit after washing and extended wear. For good looking and high quality business shirts, pure silk or cotton is often the most suitable. A clean, simple shirt can look very professional when tailored properly. Additionally, the fabric can ensure a good, complimenting fit around the body.
