Comments about Midori Dupioni Silk Ribbon:
I used this ribbon for tying around my wedding invitations and favor boxes. I first fell in love with this ribbon in a stationary store, but decided to buy it online in hopes of finding a better price.
The ribbon is beautiful and has a very rich, organic look. Midori is often considered "the best quality" ribbon by many wedding experts. I've already received many compliments on it, including from my wedding coordinator who wanted the information so that she can use the ribbon for future weddings she plans.
Overall I am very happy with the ribbon and would recommend it to anyone looking for an elegant alternative to the standard satin ribbon, but there are a few things to be aware of. Because the ribbon is hand-dyed and "raw" it is very delicate. When tying a bow or knot repeatedly it can begin to fray and crumple, so you have to be very careful when tying it. Also, beware that there are seams in the spool where strips of the ribbon were stitched together, so be sure to account for this when calculating how much ribbon you will need.
