A satin wedding dress catches the light and sculpts the silhouette. The fabric brings body, a soft sheen and clean lines: it's the fabric of structured dresses, where the drape does the talking rather than the embellishment.<\/p>\n
Weight and structure. Where chiffon floats, satin falls and holds its line. It defines drapes and pleats, turning them into a design feature in their own right. And its soft sheen, subtler than a high-shine fabric, is enough to make a dress feel special without any embellishment at all.<\/p>\n
Both give structure, but in different ways. Mikado is stiffer, almost architectural: it holds bold volumes and crisp pleats on its own. Satin is softer and more luminous, and follows the body more closely. For a close-fitting cut, choose satin; for a skirt that has to keep its volume, choose mikado.<\/p>\n
Satin is unforgiving: it shows every seam and every fold, and marks more easily than matte fabrics. It's a fabric for formal ceremonies rather than a wedding in a field. For an outdoor wedding, look at our flowy and straight<\/a> dresses instead.<\/p>\n Satin is best judged in person, under the light. Our dresses can be tried on at partner boutiques, by appointment: once you've found your nearest stockist<\/a>, ask about the design you love.<\/p>","link":"https:\/\/www.ellebeline.com\/en\/wedding-dresses\/satin\/","name":"Satin wedding dresses","slug":"satin","taxonomy":"product_cat","parent":508,"meta":[],"menu_order":0,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ellebeline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/527","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ellebeline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ellebeline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/product_cat"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ellebeline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/508"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ellebeline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?product_cat=527"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Try them on at a bridal shop<\/h2>\n
