Creative Director Ed Kernohan comments: ‘Having your dress or bridesmaids dresses professionally made for you is a form of self expression – you can have the style, the shape, the colour, the fit just right for you, and quite often money saved on fabric goes a long way to pay for a dressmaker.’
At Craftswoman Fabrics they are passionate about service and all the staff have years of knowledge, and a caring friendly approach to help and advise.
A list of experienced dressmakers located across the province is also available for those not able to create their own garment.
This season’s fabrics are softer in texture; a lovely reversible satin faille, a textured scuba which has added stretch to a crisper crunchy crepe all available in a mouth-watering array of shades.
Mikado and Silk Gazar are exquisite inspirations for the bride, sheer yet with a crisper body, couple this with a Crystal Gold embroidered lace then this is a go-to trend for the bridal dress. Stunning laces from mills in Austria, France, Portugal, these are as simple in design or as heavily embroidered and beaded and sumptuous as you like. A range of coordinating Jacquards and Damask for Mother of the Bride/Groom complements the many ranges on offer, so the whole bridal party can be catered for. The world really is your oyster in terms of choice!
Ed comments, ‘This years Pantone colour of choice is Living Coral, a life affirming hue, it brings a comfortable and warm colour for any bridal party to wear. Selecting shades can sometimes be a problem but at CW Fabrics there is a wealth of options, from pastel tints of Whisper Clover, Pebble and Rose Quartz, to crisper cooler tones of Duck Egg Blue, Indigo and Thyme – these all form a sophisticated palette of colours.
Whatever colour or fabric you think of, Craftswoman Fabrics have 40 variations of that!
