Bias Tapes for Feria Dresses: Ideas from Our Creative Team

Printed bias tapes are one of the essential accessories for Feria dresses. Designs with polka dots are the favourites for this type of clothing, although there are also many others that can work and give a different touch to these traditional pieces.

The Feria dress, also known as a flamenco or gitana dress, has become one of the greatest representatives of Andalusian culture. Usually, it consists of a long, ankle-length, fitted dress, with ruffles on the skirt and sleeves. They are colourful garments, whose most typical print is polka dots, although there are also plain or other designs.

Therefore, bias tapes with polka dots, or those with cheerful colours, are the most popular choice when making a dress of this type. In this article, we share with you the bias tapes most in demand for Feria dresses.

The 4 most used printed bias tapes in flamenco dresses

When making a flamenco dress, its owner must make a few decisions, which depend on tastes, the use that will be given to it, and, above all, what makes them feel most comfortable.

On the one hand, there are those who opt for more dramatic designs, with bold prints, vibrant colours and large ruffles. On the other hand, there are people who prefer simpler, more understated models, which are by no means boring.

1. Polka Dot Bias Tape

Bias tapes with this print are the most popular choice when making Feria dresses. At Byetsa, we have 11 different colours of this design: pink, fuchsia, light green, dark green, red, orange, yellow, blue, sky blue, turquoise, and black. Thanks to our wide colour range, we are capable of meeting the particular needs of all our clients.

2. Mini Ruffle Decor Bias Tape

This bias is an alternative to the classic polka dots.

The great advantage it has is that it works very well for creating the movement and volume that characterise flamenco dresses.

They are ideal for use in both the ruffles of the sleeves and the skirt.

3. Floral bias tapes

Flower prints are another recommendation for those looking for a classic style with a twist.

Red tones are the most popular choice for flamenco dresses.

4. Solid bias tapes

For those looking for a more classic design, solid bias tapes are a great option to contrast with the colour or texture of the dress fabric.

However, it is also an interesting and sober option to incorporate bias tapes in the same tone as the rest of the garment.

Other options for bias tapes for flamenco dresses

For the most daring individuals seeking a truly unique option for their flamenco dress, mixing prints is a trend that has been seen in some of the most recognised firms that make this type of clothing.

Dresses that combine polka dot prints with floral prints have already proven to work. The recommended bias tapes to use in these eclectic designs can be of different types, although it is always advisable to ensure that the colour range is similar to that of the dress prints.

The printed bias tape designs from the Ethnic collection are ideal for combining with polka dot or floral fabrics. However, plain bias tapes – that share the same colour as the chosen prints – can be perfect for giving cohesion to the mix of prints.
