Pattern Woven Into the Fabric
Jacquard isn't printed or embroidered, it's woven. The floral patterns in these Rachel Allan designs are created during the weaving process, which gives the fabric built-in texture and dimension. You can feel the raised pattern when you touch jacquard, and you can see how light and shadow play across the dimensional surface. The pink and green floral patterns shown here demonstrate jacquard's ability to handle multiple colors within a single woven design.
The fabric's inherent structure makes it ideal for ballgowns that need to hold significant volume without heavy underlayers. Jacquard has body. It doesn't collapse or wrinkle easily, which matters when you're wearing a full skirt for hours. The strapless sweetheart construction across these designs relies on jacquard's ability to support itself around curves without requiring excessive boning.
Florals That Work Year-Round
These particular jacquard patterns lean romantic with their rose and garden flower motifs, but the woven technique keeps them from reading as overly sweet. The dimensional quality of the weave adds sophistication. The high-low silhouette on one design and the full ballgown on another show jacquard's versatility. The fabric handles both constructions equally well because it has enough weight to drape properly but enough structure to hold volume.
The tiered ruffle detail on the pink ballgown version shows how jacquard can be gathered and manipulated without losing pattern definition. Each ruffle layer maintains the floral design integrity, which wouldn't necessarily happen with a printed fabric where gathering could distort the pattern. Jacquard's woven nature means the pattern stays true regardless of how the fabric is cut or constructed.
