So you’ve been going from store to store for the past few weeks but you’ve yet to come across a wedding dress that catches your eye. You have high expectations and want everything to look perfect on this dress, but the problem is, this dress doesn’t exist! What do you do?
The answer is simple – custom design your own. Many brides-to-be are much too busy with their wedding plans to spare any time in designing their own wedding dress, and the majority just don’t have the design flair to do such a thing in the first place. This is where you might want to look at hiring the services of a designer to create your ideal dress (just be prepared to fork out a decent sum of money to make your dream come true).
The advantage of designing your own dress is knowing for sure that everything fits you perfectly and it is precisely how you want it to look, down to the very last detail.
If you haven’t got the resources to fund this dream gown of yours, you might have to sacrifice and do without a few other additions to your wedding like, forsaking the ice sculptures or that twelve-foot wedding cake. Read more... (462 words)

Wedding decisions: On one of the most important days of your life, it is next to impossible to sit down and decide what you will wear. In view of this notion, it makes sense to prepare. Preparing helps you to stay in control of your senses. On the day the wedding arrives, you will have laid out your plans. Things will go smoothly. However, if you have not plan, well I guess then you can rely on a few helpful tips in what you should wear at a wedding. What do I wear?
First, you want to consider what time the wedding will take place. Next, you want to think about the crowd. If the wedding is conducted in daylight hours you want to consider informal wear. Perhaps you may prefer wearing the shorter garbs. You want to consider the crowd when you make your decision. If the crowd is wearing long dresses, then short garbs should be considered carefully, especially if you are participating at a traditional wedding. You may also prefer to wear a somewhat formal dress, which is short but long enough to sway unwarranted attention. Again, it depends on the wedding, crowd and style. Formal attire is great during daylight hours also. Perhaps you may chose a shorter garb equipped with gloves and hat. Read more... (529 words)

Silk’s history begins in 27 Century BCE. Silk was mainly used throughout China until the Silk Road route was opened during 1 BC. Silk continued to be used in China for another millennium. Silk was used for clothing, writing and in other forms. Silk was considered luxurious and if you had a piece of the fabric, that meant you were in a high social class. It was an indicator of high social status during the Tang Dynasty.
It wasn’t until 300 AD that silk production spread to Japan, and by 522, the Byzantines had obtained the technique. Around about this time period, the Arabs began manufacturing silk as well, and because sericulture was becoming more well known, silk imports from China became less important. Western countries like Italy began to export their own silk and the Renaissance saw a change in the method of production. France also started to trade silk with Italy, and they remained the two leaders when it came to silk in the European world that did not come from China. Read more... (643 words)

Silk became a part of human history in 27 BCE, and until the opening of the Silk Road around 1 BCE, its use was largely restricted to China. China continued to use silk extensively for the next thousand years and it could be found in clothing, paper and many other forms. It was an extremely expensive fabric and wearing fine silk was a sign of wealth and prestige, especially during the days of the Tang Dynasty.
By 300 CE production spread through the islands of Japan and in 522 CE, the Byzantines had an understanding of the technique. The Arabs started manufacturing silk about the same time and the West became slowly less dependent on the silk that was being exported out of China. Some western countries, like Italy, started exporting their own silk and made it a large part o their economy. France traded silk with Italy, but these were largely the two countries that had a great deal of trade in this luxurious material. Manufacturing processes changed a great deal during the Renaissance.
