Illusion fabric is made from a delicate mesh nylon material that is sheer and gives the appearance of a nude look, mimicking your skin–hence the name! Illusion is very lightweight and can be easily sewn into dresses in a variety of ways.
Illusion fabric can be found in all styles of wedding dresses–from super sexy to a bit more subtle, depending on your taste. Most brides think of necklines when they envision this magical fabric, but you can also find some stunning wedding gown backs that feature illusion. The back can be totally covered in illusion, with or without lace, beading and other gorgeous embellishments. Or, you can go for just a touch of illusion. No matter your preference, we think the below illusion back gowns are absolute show-stoppers!
