Spring and summer are traditionally the seasons for bright colours and interesting designs in the fashion world. With local, fashion-centred events like the Melbourne Cup spring racing carnival and the Brownlow Awards, fashion designers certainly have their hands full.

As we continue to enjoy the bright, floral prints of spring, summer styles and fashion designs are in the works. This year’s summer styles are promoting silky satins and sheers against wispy fabrics and materials. The metallics which have been so popular this Spring will continue to be used in many designs throughout the summer months.

So what does this mean for us women? Whether you are looking forward to spring weddings, summer parties or Christmas celebrations, there is always a reason for a new piece of clothing! This year, with the many available designs, styles and colours that are in trend, having a dress tailor-made would be the best way to make the most of the beautiful fashion styles around.

Silk satins, dupions, voiles, georgettes and chiffons are perfect for wedding dresses and bridal wear. If you are planning on attending a wedding this spring and summer, having a dress made in these fabrics will have you looking and feeling great on that special day.

Silk satins and chiffon can also be interlaced to create the wispy fabric styles that are looking so trendy this summer. The materials are light and airy enough to provide comfort on warmer days. They can also be layered to create interesting colour combinations that will accentuate a pretty design.

Wherever you are and whatever you are looking forward to this season, check out some designs and spoil yourself with a tailor-made dress. d’Italia Designer Fabric is open six days a week and provides optional referral seamstresses services. Its range of imported Italian fabric comes from the same manufacturing houses that provide to designer labels like Gucci, Escada, Armani and Prada.
