Tulle
Characterized by a sheer, gauzy open weave that's similar to netting, tulle has an airy vibe but can be ruched to add structure. Very delicate, it is often used as a gown's lining or, of course, as a veil. It comes in different weights and levels of stiffness. The quintessential bridal fabric has seen quite a rise in popularity in sexy illusion styles with bare sleeves, necklines, or cutouts. The lightweight and usually inexpensive fabric can also be used in lace designs and can be worn year-round. Keep in mind that the fabric snags easily.

Velvet
Soft and thick, velvet has a felted face. Its heavyweight makes it suitable for fall or winter weddings. The luscious fabric naturally lends itself to regal looks and vintage inspirations.

Voile 
Lightweight and breathable, voile is made from cotton or wool and is semi-transparent. Its casual look makes it perfect for informal weddings. The fabric has a natural drape that's perfect for flowing styles without much structure.

Zibeline vintage wedding dresses
Zibeline is woven in a single direction from straight fibers for a shiny finish. Silk zibeline is the most common variety used in wedding dresses. The constructed fabric is optimal for structured designs like fit-and-flare or A-line.
