SOME OF THE MATERIALS USED ON OUR
GOWNS
FABRICS
SATIN
Our
manufactuer only uses the highest quality thick
bridal satin (395/4811 grade Bridal Satin).
Dresses made of cheap
material will turn dark and yellow after they are stored for over 3
months.
For our dresses, even if storing them for 5 years, the
colour will not change.
SATIN
CHARMEUSE
A soft, lightweight, very flowy and drapey
polyester fabric, high gloss - looks very much like silk
CHIFFON
A
beautiful light weight fabric.
This fabric drapes very
well and is very soft on the skin. Fabulous drape, soft and
floaty.
GEORGETTE
Much
the same fabric as chiffon, however is a little stiffer, it is also
soft and drapey.
TAFFETA
Taffeta -
is a crisp, smooth woven light fabric, a great alternative to
thick bridal satin and has made a comeback in the production of
bridal/formal gowns.
ORGANZA
Another
very sheer fabric, however instead of being soft and
drapey (like georgette or chiffon) it is stiff. As organza
is stiff, it can handle beading and embroidery quite well.
LACE
Our
manufacturer sources the highest quality lace throughout the world,
often
used as an overlay, can be plain or hand beaded.
SOFT
BRIDAL TULLE
A soft bridal tulle, used for gown overlays
such as ball gowns.
BEADWORK
SWAROVSKI CRYSTALS
Our
manufacturer uses authentic world-famous Austrian Swarovski®
brand crystals which have been the original crystal pedigree for
more than a century. Swarovski’s sparkling beads draw out
magnificent colors and bestow enchanting elegance upon
any gown. Their outstanding quality is the result of special
polishing, a perfect cut, exact geometry and precise angles, which
draw out maximum brilliance.
Some examples used on our gowns
are:
Crystal Clear Bicones
Elegant
Rainbow Bicones
JAPANESE
MATSUNO BEADS
The best quality beads in
the industry, these include seed, bugle, glass and pearl
beads.
 
SEQUINS
High
quality bridal sequins
Dress of Your Dreams –
Workmanship, Construction and Materials used to create our
wedding gowns.
FABRIC: The highest quality thick
bridal satin (395/4811 grade Bridal Satin).
Dresses made of cheap
material will turn dark and yellow after they are stored for over 3
months. For our dresses, even if storing them for 5 years, the
colour will not change.
Our manufacturer uses at least 4 layers of fabrics to make
the bodice of our bridal gowns. For cheaply made bridal gowns, there
are only 2 layers of fabrics (satin and lining), and some even have
no lining. With 2 layers of interlining, the bodice part of our
bridal gowns is very firm. Another layer of interlining around
neckline to make this part of the dress extra solid.
BONING: Our manufacturer uses 8-10 bones in the bodice of
most of our bridal gowns, so the bodice part of our bridal gown is
very strong. For
cheaply made bridal gowns, there are much less bones used, and some
even have no bones at
all.
LINING: All of our gowns
are fully lined.
BEADWORK: Our
manufacturer only uses Japanese made Matsuno beads (also known as
MGB beads). This is the top quality bead in the industry, and
the price is 15 times higher than the beads used on cheaply made
bridal gowns. Cheap beads would turn dark after 3
months. We also use 100% genuine Swarovski Crystals, Czech
Diamonds, Cultured Pearls and high quality bridal sequins. All
of the beadwork on our gowns are stitched by hand, they are not
glued!
Dress of Your Dreams has very low profit margins on
the gowns and relies on selling a large number of gowns so that
we can offer them to you at a discounted price.
This
never affects the quality of the gowns.
