Silk charmeuse is made with a satin weave, which is soft, yet, supple and drapes beautifully. Fabric is woven with a satin weave, where the warp threads cross over three or more of the backing threads. The front side of the fabric has a satin finish, lustrous and reflective, and the back has a dull finish. Silk charmeuse is most often used for loose-fitting, bridal gowns and slinky eveningwear.

Very importantly, it does not show pin holes.Georgette is made like chiffon, but a two or three-ply yarn is used.

Often used as the base fabrics for embellished fabrics. Organza is a very lightweight and sheer material, but a bit stiff, and can be gathered for bouffant uses, used alone or over other fabrics for fitted to loosely fitted blouses, dresses and evening wear. Also useful for facings, interfacing or lining. Silk organza can be used as an underlining to add crispness to parts of a garment. It sews easily and does not show pin holes. It holds creases well.

With prom dresses, the color choices are endless. There are light colors such as light pink, yellow, white, light beige, lavender, mint green, and many others. There are darker colors such as black, silver, gold, burgundy, dark blue, and dark green. The key to finding the right color is to match the color with your skin tone, hair color, and body shape. Think about what colors usually bring the most complements when wearing your regular clothing? These are likely your best colors. They blend well with your features and make your figure look great.
