Maid Dresses: peau de soie or dupioni?

Marissa, on August 22, 2011 at 8:56 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 11

We have a Mad Men-inspired theme and will have crimson red bridesmaid dresses. I have no clue about fabrics so could use some opinions on what would look better: peau de soie or dupioni. Please share pictures if you have any!

    I like both! What time of year are you getting married? I think peau de soie is more appropriate for fall and winter because it's matte, while dupioni works year-round. My personal preference would probably be the peau de soie, especially for a wedding with a classic/60s feel.

    I am using the same designer. Dresses are midnight dupioni. My friend also used this fabric and the dresses came out very pretty!

    I love the Dupioni dress - just so long as none of your bridesmaids are heavy up top! i think both fabircs look nice but i suppose you have to consider do you prefer the matt or shiney? i think the peau de soie would look more retro. but both are lovely!

    Yeah, we're going for a more retro look. So peau de soie it is Smiley smile Thanks, all!
