"Let&amp;#x27;s talk dress fabrics. When I finally found my wedding gown, one of the selling points was its unusual material: grosgrain. Yes, as in the stuff that gift ribbons are made of. Here&amp;#x27;s my dress. See how the fabric is cut into tiers that sort of look like wide ribbons? I added a chiffon flower belt for a romantic touch. It wasn&amp;#x27;t the most traditional choice for a bridal gown, but I liked that. One thing I didn&amp;#x27;t want on my wedding day was to look like every other bride. The most common wedding dress fabrics include silk, satin, organza, lace, chiffon, taffeta and tulle. If you&amp;#x27;re a girly-girl looking for an uber-femme gown, you&amp;#x27;ll probably want to stick with one of the floatier fabrics like tulle or organza (Word to the wise: Chelsea Clinton&amp;#x27;s dreamy Vera Wang confection incorporated both of these materials). Lace is a girly fabric too but it&amp;#x27;s more old-school and has more of an antique vibe. Taffeta&amp;#x27;s great if you&amp;#x27;re searching for some structure&amp;amp;#8212;although it sometimes has bad prom/school dance connotations to me. And silk, satin or chiffon blends are most versatile, with lots of flattering options of all different styles in both materials. To my married readers, I&amp;#x27;m curious: what did you wear? Brides-to-be and unengaged ladies: What fabrics get your heart racing? And PS. No matter what fabric you choose, if you wear a long dress, the bottom will get dirty. That&amp;#x27;s what the dry cleaner is for. More Ways to Get Glamour FREE Beauty Stuff! Enter for your Chance to Win a New Prize Every Day! Visit Shopglamour.com for cute stuff starting at just $10!
