Taffeta?

I have found a wedding dress that I love however, I am concerned about the fabric.  Has anyone worn a wedding dress made of taffeta?  I have heard that it photographs very shinny and can look like plastic. Thanks!!

    My friend had a taffeta dress, and I don't remember it looking plastic-y at all in any pictures.  It may look a bit shiny, though.  My bridesmaids had taffeta dresses and they photographed very well.

    My dress is taffeta, and from the photos I've taken of it at the bridal salon, it doesn't appear plastic-looking in pictures.  Maybe a little shiny, but not outrageous.

    My runner-up choice was taffeta. I was totally against the material until I put the dress on and it looked sooo good. It photographed fine in my pics from the bridal salon.

    I had a taffeta dress and I loved it. It wasn't super shiny and it was still soft. My BMs dresses were taffeta too! Check out pics in my siggy!
