Silk Fabric Suitable for a Wedding Veil

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

TULLE: A very sheer, transparent, net fabric with a crispness to it. The most well known and widely used veil fabric. This veil can be as plain or as decorated as you want. You can add a ribbon edge, scatter diamonte, leave it plain. br />

CHIFFON: A very soft, fluid fabric that is heavier than tulle. It hangs straight but floats with the slightest breeze. It is more opaque than tulle so usually made as a single tier veil without a blusher. It can be made with 2 tiers if you wish. Chiffon veils can be finished with a narrow picot edge but you can have ribbon or lace edging if you prefer.

ORGANZA: It is sheer and slightly opaque like chiffon, but much crisper. I have managed to find a softer organza that is not quite so stiff. Organza can fray easily so veils are finished with a narrow picot or satin bias edge.

Designer Fabric at Its Fashionable Best

Sunday, December 20th, 2009

Designer Fabric At Its Fashionable Best d’Italia Exclusive Designer Fabric provides the best in fabric and fashion. Ranging from classy casual to very formal, d’Italia’s fabric comes from European manufacturers who also provide for top fashion labels like Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Prada, Escada, Chanel and Balenciaga. All of the fabric is of the finest quality, and is used mainly for the creation of wedding gowns, formal and cocktail dresses, ladies’ suits, and smart casual wear. The material is available in a variety of colours and prints, depending on seasonal trends. If you have an idea of what you want, but are not sure of how to go about it, d’italia staff are able to provide recommendations of suitable style, colours, and the exact amount needed. In-house stylists and optional referrals to an elite team of qualified professional dressmakers are also available. d’Italia ensures that its optional referral system is not highly recommended without a strong sense of trust and careful consideration on its part. “All members of our team of experts available on a referral basis are of an excellent standard, and we are extremely confident in their quality of work and expertise. Not only do we scrutinise them for fundamentals such as the quality of their work, we also expect them to be able to design and to communicate well with customers, in a professional manner. “We monitor our customers’ feedback on their work and professionalism regularly, as approximately 95% of our regular customers employ their services on an ongoing basis. Remember, many of our regular customers come to us to have most of their wardrobe made to fit, as they have trouble finding suitable clothing off-the-rack. This involves a significant outlay on the cost of our quality fabric. These customers rely on our referrals, and as such our reputation is on the line in a indirect sense. This is why we must have ultimate confidence in the expertise of our referral team! “Considering their work is of the highest standard, their prices are surprisingly reasonable and very much affordable. Due to an exclusive arrangement whereby d’Italia refers all customers to them, these ladies deliberately work from their own professional studios (so there are no overheads here at d’Italia), so their fees are maintained at a very much lower rate than other quality seamstresses in Melbourne who are either on a salary or operating from a shop front. Fees charged include the initial consultation, pattern-making, calico mock-ups (where necessary), at least 2 to 3 fittings, and the final finishing.”
