Shiny Satin

An absolute show-stopper, this material boasts incredible shine and moves like liquid metal. Satin tends to be prone to wrinkles, but it’s nothing a quick steam can’t fix!

The Mood: Glam, edgy, dramatic

Touch & Feel: Silky & super shiny

Did you know? The floor-length dresses have a higher slit for maximum sex appeal and even the Lisa Midi looks more va-va-voom with added shine.

Chiffon

This is our go-to dreamy fabric and is at the core of our bridesmaid dress collection.

The Mood: Sweet and Romantic

Touch & Feel: Light and airy

Did you know? The lining of the dress makes a big impact on chiffon because of its sheer quality. Our swatches always come with a layer of lining so you're seeing the final color.

Crepe

With its stretchy, body-hugging quality, our crepe fabric is an obvious choice for modern silhouettes.

The Mood: Modern, sexy, and minimalist

Touch & Feel: Textured, stretchy, and spongey to the touch

Did you know? Light simply bounces off differently on crepe due to the pile, so colors can be perceived to be less saturated and can sometimes offer a more frosty effect on light shades.

Velvet

A quintessential fall and winter fabric, velvet elevates any wedding mood into something sumptuous, textural, and sophisticated.

The Mood: Regal, extravagant, warm

Touch & Feel: Soft, sumptuous, with a slight stretch

Did you know? Velvet is naturally one of our thicker fabrications—right alongside crepe—making it a standout choice for cold-weather nuptials.
