I am curious to find out.....

what is the material your wedding dress was made of. Please check your label and then respond.

This whole time I thought my dress was satin....until I inquired about dress cleaning and preservation and they told me to check the label. I answered by saying satin and they said are you sure its not a polyester blend please check the label and I simply answered NO!

I get home to check the label = 100% polyesther!

Eww...***? I am pisssed. So I get online and start googling and come to find out Satin used to be made from silk but now its made from either polyesther, rayon, nylon, etc. Weird right?

Re: I am curious to find out.....

Silk Charmeuse. One thing I didn't know about this material- it wrinkles!

Re: I am curious to find out.....

I think its dutchess satin, at least thats what i remember being told.

I dont have the dress home, its at my IL's so cant look at it but now im curious

TOTAL BS RIGHT? I remember when I tried it on I asked what the fabric was and they answered satin! (Tags were cut out of dress). Anyway I think its totally bogus! I hope more people post bc I want to know. Only good think about my dress - DIDNT WRINKLE! Its still perfect!

I believe it! Kenneth Pool does not mess around! Cheaper dresses - well thats another story :(

Re: I am curious to find out.....

100% Polyester.. and here I thought it was taffetta.. Meanwhile, they told me the dress was a 10 and it was an 8.. so weird

Re: I am curious to find out.....

satin is a type of fabric weave.. not a content of the yarn. most people think of silk satin when they think of satin.. but as you found out satin can be made of different yarns.
Same with duppioni.. traditionally silk duppioni, but now is made with synthetics also.
The poly satin is probably more durable and sturdy and less likely to wrinkle. thats why many designers are using it.

i dont know bc i was looking up dutchess satin and found sites that sell dutchess satin and all say 100% polyster from satin something like that.

Your dress looked amazing though and the fabric looked so gorgeous so regardless of what it is looked amazing

Re: I am curious to find out.....

I wonder what mine is!! I am going to call my mom to check it out!!

ETA: Called my mom its 100% silk.

Re: I am curious to find out.....

silk taffata - but I still had issues after it was cleaned and preserved The bodice was made of some other thing that I have NO Idea what That was the part that shrunk

Re: I am curious to find out.....

they told me satin and its.....100% Polyester Could you imgine the price if it was actually made of satin...

Re: I am curious to find out.....

My wedding dress was a ballerina/cinderella style so I am guessing that the majority was a stiff tulle material. I had the bridal shop that I purchased the dress from clean and perserve it. So, they already knew what they had to do.

Re: I am curious to find out.....

mine was silk taffeta...or at least that's what they told me. The dress is at my parents house, now I'm really curious to check the label..

Re: I am curious to find out.....

Silk organza and alencon lace....don't know what the lace is made out of...

Re: I am curious to find out.....

100% silk...hooray J. Crew

Re: I am curious to find out.....

Mine was an Italian Silk Mikado (had never heard of it before my dress). Whatever your dress was, it looked beautiful, don't worry about it!

Re: I am curious to find out.....

I have no idea and mine is cleaned and preserved. I really want to take it out of the box, look at the label and try it on.

ETA: I looked it up: Shantung Silk
