A Guide to Jacquard Fabric

As early as over one thousand years ago, the descriptions about jacquard fabric have already appeared in some ancient books. And some people even believe that jacquard fabrics were already present on the ancient Silk Road more than two thousand years ago. Although it is currently impossible to determine the exact year when jacquard was created, it is certain that this craft has a long history.

The word “jacquard” comes from the name of an inventor. In the 19th century, an inventor called Joseph Marie Jacquard invented a loom which could quickly weave warp and weft into patterns. Therefore, this kind of fabric was named after Jacquard. The invention of the loom made it possible for people to mass-produce jacquard fabrics.

Till today, jacquard fabric has been widely applied to the production of clothes, home textiles and many other products. The reason why jacquard fabric is so popular is that it has many unique advantages. If you buy a dress with printed patterns, then you will find that after washing it a few times, the pattern on the dress will fade quickly. But this rarely happen to a jacquard dress. On the other hand, with the improvement of technology, now machines can weave more threads together to produce more diverse patterns. The addition of artificial fibers has also greatly reduced the price of jacquard fabrics and improved their performance. In addition, jacquard fabric is not easy to wrinkle, so it is easier to store.

Although jacquard fabric is relatively durable, we still need to pay attention to its care and washing to extend their service life as much as possible. You can use the washing machine to wash the jacquard fabric of course, but remember that the temperature of the water should not exceed 30℃. In addition, no fabric likes highly corrosive cleaning products. So it is better to choose more gentle products.

In short, jacquard fabric is widely acclaimed. As one of its main functions is to make clothes, we will pay more attention to jacquard dresses. Next we are going to discuss the occasions that are suitable for a jacquard dress.

What Occasions Are Suitable for A Jacquard Dress?

If you are asked to describe the jacquard fabric with only two words, what will you say? Perhaps most people will say “gorgeous” and “luxury”. Indeed, most jacquard dresses give people such feelings. So it is believed that jacquard dresses are more suitable for grand occasions. However, we can also choose a relatively low-key jacquard dress for everyday wear.

❤️A banquet or ceremony. First of all, let us discuss about some truly grand occasions. On a banquet, a jacquard dress makes you look extremely noble and elegant, attracting much attention to you. While on a ceremony, a jacquard dress helps you become a bright star. Especially on a ceremony where you are the main character, you can choose a jacquard dress as gorgeous as possible. For example, on your coming of age ceremony, a jacquard evening gown will certainly impress all the guests. On your wedding ceremony, a jacquard wedding dress makes you the most beautiful bride in the world.

❤️Candlelight dinner. If you believe that a gorgeous jacquard dress are not convenient for dating outside, then you can wear it at a candlelight dinner. Beside the candlelight, in the jacquard dress, you look exactly like a princess. If you are always longing for the fairy dating with your prince, then try a jacquard dress at the candlelight dinner.

❤️Commuting. Yes, you read that right. I believe you do not want to spend a lot of money on a jacquard dress, only to wear it occasionally on dates and celebrations, and leave it in the closet to gather dust at other times. So in daily life, you can also choose a relatively low-key jacquard dress for commuting. Maybe you have noticed that there are several magic jacquard dresses: when you are far away from them, they look like solid color dresses with no patterns. However, as you approach, you will find the patterns like relief on the dress. These jacquard dresses look plain but are actually with some secrets. Commuting in this kind of jacquard dress, then your outfit will be praised as low-key as well as connotative.

Accessories Go Well with A Jacquard Dress

Accessories are an indivisible part of an entire outfit, not only on grand occasions, but also for daily life. After all, you can go shopping or commute without wearing jewelry, but you can not go without a bag or even shoes. So it is also necessary for you to know about the ways of accessorizing jacquard dresses.

For a gorgeous jacquard dress, a pair of high heels is undoubtedly its best partner. And for a Bohemian jacquard dress, a pair of sandals is also acceptable. A pair of Mary Jane is also a good choice. Especially in the color white or other cool colors. But nearly all jacquard dresses can not go well with a pair of sneakers. Most jacquard dresses are in the elegant or ethnic styles, so sneakers should be excluded from your choices of shoes.

A belt is necessary for a gorgeous jacquard dress on grand occasions. It will make your outfit more stylish. But for daily wear, a belt in unnecessary if you prefer the loose style. If you would like to pair a belt with your jacquard dress, both a conventional leather belt and a metal one are acceptable. You can choose one according to your preference and the style of the dress.

Delicate handbags go well with jacquard dresses. Whether a gorgeous one for a grand occasion, or a low-key one for daily wear, you can pair it with an exquisite clutch. A tote bag is also compatible with a low-key jacquard dress, but it may be strange in its combination with an especially bright and beautiful jacquard dress. Not to mention messengers and backpacks. They are nearly the most inappropriate choices.

Do not forget jewelry. On grand occasions, you can be as eye-catching as possible. So longer and brighter necklaces or earrings should be prepared. Do not worry that bright jewelry will cover up the brilliance of the dress and you. In everyday wear, overly flashy jewelry can indeed easily overshadow the outfit. However, when your dress is also gorgeous, if your jewelry is low-key, it will be out of place. While for daily wear or commuting, it is better for you to choose some ordinary jewelry.

Outfit Ideas for A Jacquard Dress

Since most people would choose to wear a jacquard dress directly as an entire outfit, we need to wear it in a creative way to stand out. Especially in autumn and winter, if we still want to wear a jacquard dress, we need to pair it with other clothes.

A jacquard dress+ a cropped jacket
This outfit is especially suitable for daily wear in autumn and winter. And this outfit can also provide you with a sense of layering. But remember that do not pile too many elements on the same outfit. That is to say, if your jacquard dress is already in bright color with plenty of patterns, then it is better to choose a cropped jacket in solid color such as a denim jacket.

A tiered jacquard dress+ a sweater
This outfit is also a kind of layering. Here the function of the sweater is similar to that of the jacket in the outfit above. But the difference lies in that an ordinary sweater cannot be opened. So this outfit is more suitable for those dresses with special design or jacquard at the bottom part of the dress. Otherwise, the jacquard will be completely covered by the sweater. In this case, a tiered jacquard dress is a good choice.

A jacquard dress+ a blazer
When you see this, you may wonder whether jacquard dress can be worn on formal occasions. Obviously, the bight colored with plenty of patterns should not be worn on formal occasions. But do you still remember that we have mentioned a kind of “low-key” and magic jacquard dress in the previous section? Combined with a blazer, then this is an acceptable outfit for a formal occasion. A jacquard dress+ a woolen shawl This outfit is extremely suitable for a banquet. And this outfit is suitable for ladies of nearly all ages. Whether you are a young lady in your twenties or a middle-aged lady in your forties, this outfit will make you more elegant.
