ELEGANT BUT NOT TOO ELEGANT FABRICS: A MINI-GUIDE TO THE 3 MOST EXCLUSIVE AND ORIGINAL
Not all fabrics are the same: the garment you choose speaks about you and who you are.
Choosing a piece of clothing to wear and show off to others is like putting down on paper the microcosm that is part of you... But you already know this. And the fabric expresses exactly who you are: your taste , your personality , your lifestyle , and what you want to communicate.
The right dress is the result of creativity, taste and…the perfect fabric!
But what happens when you frantically search for an elegant fabric , but you want to maintain your own personality and don't want to cage yourself in a formal and too heavy shape?
It often happens that we find ourselves faced with the Hamlet-like question: “Do I choose originality or do I choose elegance?”
If you're one of those women who absolutely can't choose between being original and looking elegant, whether it's for an event or in everyday life, then keep reading this article.

Boucle fabric

Bouclé fabric, when used in original and whimsical clothing with the skillful use of suitable prints and designs, can truly be the original choice you've been looking for. This fabric is particularly suited to linear and geometric patterns with strongly contrasting colors .

Mikado fabric
This fabric is one of the most elegant in existence : its unique workmanship gives it a truly exclusive sheen . In fact, mikado is the most popular fabric for wedding dresses and formal wear. Furthermore, being a fabric with a rather heavy texture, it is perfectly suited to defining the structure of the garment being created.
Choose this fabric if your style is refined , a little baroque but original .

Choosing the perfect fabric also depends on the materials and the mix of threads used to create them. In fact, to make a garment elegant, yet original and understated, our atelier mixes the use of threads that make fabrics particularly elegant, such as lurex , with prints and patterns that tone down the garment.
