Why Is Understanding Wedding Dress Fabric Weights Important?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Understanding wedding dress fabric weights is important to ensure you purchase a dress that fits your personal aesthetic and <\/em>will leave you feeling comfortable while you dance the night away with your new spouse! Some brides are all about movement and airflow (we’re looking at you summer brides!), which might leave them wanting something airy and light that won’t weigh them down or make them too hot. Other brides, who are getting married during a cooler season or who like a more sturdy silhouette, might prefer one of the heavier wedding dress fabrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fabric weights also play a huge role in the volume and shape of your dress, its durability, and how it feels on your body! Lighter fabrics are more soft and drapey, while heavier fabrics provide structure. Fabric weight can also impact the opacity of the dress. All in all, it’s just really good information to know going into your bridal appointment so you can ensure you get the look and comfort that you’re going for! Knowing what you like before you get there can help your stylist get you into your favorite dresses quicker, which is a total win in our book!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
