Mitch Desunia Haute Couture: "Works will speak for itself".

Style, cut, texture, drape, and season are all-important factors in determining the best fabric for a wedding gown.

The same style dress can look and feel quite different in a variety of fabrics, since each material is designed to produce a distinct effect; Some fabrics stick to the body, while others stand away. Some are cherished for their crispness, others for being light-as-air. 

Tulle -- a natural fiber that exudes an innate quality of refinement -- is undoubtedly the most sought-after and cherished wedding dress material, noted for its resiliency, elasticity, and strength. Silk threads are woven to create several fabrics, including satin, a densely-woven silk notable for its super-lustrous gloss; duchesse satin, a blend of silk and rayon that is lighter and more affordable than pure silk satin; charmeuse, a lightweight silk satin with a more subdued luster; and shantung, a low-sheen textured silk characterized by a rough, nubby quality.

Then there are the thinner, textured silks like chiffon, tulle, and organza -- all used in multiple layers for gown skirts since they are transparent, but lightweight.
