Vincent Van Loyen

The fabric of the wedding dress largely defines its style, and determines the weight and the fall that it will have. Lace and satin are two of the main fabrics in many collections of wedding dress designers; you will find many of them designed with these materials when you make your first adjustments. If you’re still not sure what type of dress you want, here is some information to help you decide.

T&G history

• Usually very sensual, satin dresses inevitably remind us of the 1940s and 1950s and Hollywood movie stars. Perfect for a wedding with a movie theme, the United States or the 50s, and in particular civil and urban weddings. They will also be suitable for beach ceremonies due to their light weight.

About the lace

• Lace, which is a fabric a little less close to the body than satin, will allow you to hide some imperfections, as long as it is not too thick due to embossing, which would produce the opposite effect.

• The Little Lace Plane: This fabric is heavier than satin. So make sure you are really comfortable in a dress made mostly of lace to make sure you can move comfortably on D-Day. Otherwise, go for a model with a little less lace, combined with lighter fabrics like tulle.
