In summer, there are many of us who see our schedule tighter than necessary due to a multitude of commitments and above all, weddings. Surely many of you have more than one wedding this summer and although it seems an ideal occasion to bring out all our weapons with a beautiful dress, it can turn into a tragedy when time runs out and we can’t find the perfect dress.
To avoid that we go against the clock in the search for the “dress”, today we focus on pieces that could be used for an evening wedding. A complicated task that we are going to try to simplify with some easy prom dresses at different prices. You know, if you have a wedding, check out our selection!
Weddings are surrounded by all that protocol that must be accepted and with which we must fight to avoid falling into basic mistakes such as wearing black (let’s try to find another color), choosing a white dress (for obvious reasons it is not the most appropriate) And, to this, we add those late-night weddings require extra sophistication: forget naïve dresses , sweet and morning prints and take out the shiny, metallic and this season, fluor colors from the closet.
IMPORTANCE OF THE SELECTION OF FABRICS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF GARMENTS
FABRICS, NEW DEVELOPMENTS, COMMON CATEGORIES OF FABRICS USED FOR GARMENTS
In tailoring and design, the selection of fabrics is a fundamental and important part. Different fabrics are required for different ages, purposes, and occasions. Wedding dresses, uniforms, underwear, and casual wear require different types of fabrics, and sometimes a combination of many.
WHAT IS CLOTH?
Fabrics are made up of fibers. These fibers have been twisted into yarns and then woven or woven together to make a length of the fabric, or they have been formed into a web and heat pressed or glued together as a non-woven fabric.
The fabric can be made up of one or more fibers and could have a special finish applied. There are thousands of fabrics to choose from and new fabrics are continually being developed. You can use a to design your dress as you like

COMMON TISSUE SELECTION SCENARIOS
CHILDREN’S CLOTHING
Baby’s skin is very sensitive. Clothing must be soft and flexible to be truly comfortable. Therefore, soft knitted fabrics are popular. Cotton fabrics are suitable for babies. Synthetic material is non-absorbent and causes irritation for summer, simple cotton dresses are suitable for winter, a cotton dress is worn, and on top, the woolen garment can be worn for comfort.
PRESCHOOL CHILD
At the age of 3 to 4 years, the child is interested in their clothes, so the selection must be made carefully where the child learns mainly through clothing. Children prefer bright colors and their favorite colors are red, yellow, blue, and green. Play clothes should be more in your closet.
FOR ADULTS
Petticoats are generally undergarments that are worn close to the skin. They must be absorbent and soft to provide comfort to the user. Generally, cotton, poplin, fine cambric, satin, or rayon varieties can be used. A slightly thick variety of cotton handloom material can be used for children’s petticoats.
