The Mikado is made in compliance with a technique originating from Japan that is based on a very specific treatment of silk. Though many of our Mikados now originate in Europe, this technique gives the fabric its voluminous handle and luminous appearance. Silk Mikado is also known as Zibeline silk, though Mikado is by far the most well known term for this type of bridal fabric. Whether made of polyester or made from silk, Mikado offers a particularly attractive luminous finish that lends itself perfectly to the creation of the most vibrant wedding dresses. The fall of the Mikado fabric is majestic, which allows the sewing of grandiose and well-structured dresses. The fabric is well suited to wedding dress silhouettes such as A-line, ballgown, mermaid, mini or tea length.
