Fabrics And The Effects On Your Shape
Labels: Bridesmaid Dresses, Tips
In the previous post, I've written about the shapes and designs that suit the bridesmaids that are on the bigger size. Today, I will be talking about the different types of fabrics and the effect that it has on a person's shape. There are so much varieties of fabrics out there but I will only mention a few because these fabric are the most common ones when it comes to bridesmaid dresses.
Taffeta
Taffeta is a crisp, smooth woven fabric made from silk or synthetic fibres. It has a really shiny color that reflects to the light. It is one of my most favorite fabric because of it's gorgeous color and texture. As it is very light, it looks really good with pleatings.
As taffeta itself is really light, we normally add another layer of Duchess to make the shape of the dress looks structured. Therefore, plus sized girls don't have to worry about it being too light thus making them look big. A great fabric for both fat and skinny girls.
Duchess
Duchess satin or bridal satin is an elegant and lustrous fabric. It is widely used to make bridal gown due to its shiny, heavy, and luxurious texture.
It is one of the most slimming fabric one could ever find. So normally we would advise bigger girls to use Duchess Satin to make their dresses.
Chiffon
Chiffon is a delicate, flowy, sheer and see-through fabric. It is most suitable if you would like something really flowy.
But as it is really soft, it will show off the shape of your body really clearly. No no if you are not on the slim side. But if you still like Chiffon very very much, you can change the layer underneath to Duchess Satin to give your dress a structured shape.
Charmeuse
Charmeuse is a really soft and glossy fabric. This type of fabric is a BIG no-no if you are not slim enough because of the thin fabric.
So now you know what fabric you should go for next time you wanna make your dresses. :)

Plus Sized Bridesmaids
Labels: Advice, Bridesmaid Dresses, Plus-sized, Tips
Cuts and colors play an important role in flattering a person's shape. No matter how big or small your bridesmaids are, there will still be designs that will make you look really beautiful. But of course, a size 18 bridesmaid musn't expect to look like a size 10 no matter what cut they wear. I really did have one or two plus sized customers that came to us looking for dresses that will make her look 4 sizes slimmer. Oh my, that is quite impossible, to be honest. But then, you can always choose cuts that won't make you look extra chubbier. Here are some ideas for you.
#1 Trust me, everyone can wear strapless dress unless you have really huge and heavy set of bust. Curvier neckline will give your top some shape but if you have bigger bust then it's better to stick to a straight neckline.
#2 For the skirt part, slim A-line skirt will make your hips look slimmer. But if you feel like it's too plain jane and too uniform, you can opt for pleats like Picture #1 & Picture #2. For those that doesn't mind about having big hips, you can opt for straight or pencil skirt. It gives you a shape but like I said, it will enhance the shape of your hips as well.
#3 Maid of honor can go for long dresses, if your bride approves it. Long dresses will often elongate your height making you look taller and slimmer.
#4 For those who wished to cover the fats under their arms, go for V-neck tops. V-necks flatters those with bigger bust very well too.
#5 Cap sleeves are like the IN thing now. It helps to support the dress for those who are not used to strapless dresses. And then it can be worn as an off-shoulder dress if you push the sleeves towards your arms.
If you have big arms, never ever make dresses with short sleeves because it will not help in hiding the arms, it will only make people focus on your arms more.
#6 If you like something a lil bit different from the normal bridesmaid dresses, you can choose to make something like this. It is a halter dress but with different type of neckline. Those with bigger bust can do something like this but without the pleatings at the top because the pleats enhances the size of your bust.
#7 Pick something which is cut at your natural waist because it make you look the slimmest. Contrary to popular believes, empire cut doesn't make a person look slimmer. It will make you look taller, yes, but slimmer? NO.
Imagine this, if the skirt falls directly from under the bust, it will look like a pregnant dress. But if the empire cut dress is tighten at the wait to give you a shape, your tummy will bulge out. The last thing you want is for people to think that you are pregnant.
#8 I am gonna explain the last tip without any picture. DO NOT ever make dress with ruffles at the waist. Because, it will double up the size of your hips and make you look bigger than ever.
So the trick to have a nice bridesmaid dress is to pick something which is simple, cut at the waist, add a little details like ribbon, flowers or brooch.
Next, I will be writing about the fabrics you can use to make your dress and what will different type of fabric effects your body shape. Stay tuned. :)
