Texture, drape, and season are all important factors in determining the best fabric for a wedding gown. The same style of dress can look and feel quite different in a different fabric, since each material is designed to produce a distinct effect. Some light-as-air knit fabrics cling to the body, while other more crisply woven varieties keep their structure and stand away. Some fabrics reflect light, some absorb it; some have a distinct shine, while others are matte.
