Lace

Romantic, detailed, timeless

Adds texture, pattern, and femininity. Beautiful for bridal couture, sleeves, bodices, and delicate panels.

Tulle

Soft volume, dreamy layers

A light net fabric used for skirts, veils, layered volume, and soft fairytale structure.

Organza

Crisp, sheer, architectural

YOUR BRIEF / 05

Better words create a better direction.

Instead of only saying ‘simple,’ describe whether you mean clean, minimal, elegant, fitted, soft, or modern.

Instead of only saying ‘sparkly,’ mention beading, sequins, crystals, pearl details, or shimmer fabric.

Instead of only saying ‘princess,’ mention ball gown, tulle volume, corset bodice, train length, and romantic details.
