Introduction:
This luxurious ex-designer heavy satin fabric is the epitome of luxurious occasion-wear/bridal satin. Feel like a queen or the Belle of the ball when wearing creations made from After Dark - Double Satin Royale.
Colour:
After Dark boasts a wonderfully deep and dark navy hue, with a nacreous sheen like a blue-black Tahitian pearl. This darkest navy hue is perfect for dramatic evening wear or to add a colour accent to bridal gowns and bridal apparel; mother-of-the-bride outfits and groomsmen/maids of honour colour-matched waistcoats.
Properties:
After Dark is a heavyweight bridal/occasion wear satin fabric that features a light texture within its lustrous sateen sheen on both sides. Clever weaving techniques produce the heavyweight which is malleable, yet dense, extremely stable and low slip. The high concentration of fine, predominantly mercerised cotton, fibres used to create this stunner is what gives such a high GSM.
This fabric may be man-made but it has the look and feel of luminous silk. The dense quality allows for structured creations with fit and flare details, think classic '50s style fit and flare, peplums or contemporary boxy shoulders, '50s style skirts will form undulating folds with unrivalled quality when constructed in this jewel of fabric.
Garment Suggestions:
After Dark is, of course, the perfect fabric for semi-structured bridal wear, use this fabric to create fitted corset-style bodices and '60s-style slim silhouettes. Blazer and trouser/skirt ensembles, mother-of-the-bride outfits and so much more. Create uber-dramatic creations worthy of red-carpet events, look to any of the recent awards ceremonies for inspiration.
For Max Luxe style ideas look to designers like Victoria Beckham and Karen Millen and create your own version of a luxury trench coat. Wear this luxurious fabric creation with your jeans to add a touch of luxury to every day and wear it with an evening dress for classic drama.
