Silk Satin, or Silk Charmeuse, is a highly lustrous, fluid fabric. Its satin weave combined with a perfectly smooth silk thread give the fabric its perfect sheen. How does silk compare to polyester satin? Synthetics tend to be shinier and more brazen where real silk satin has a gentle luster and a more elegant sheen. Silk satin is lighter weight and it behaves differently – it’s airy and fluid. It goes without saying that in terms of comfort, breathable natural silk will win, hands down, every time.
Sandwashed silk satin is a variation of classic silk satin. If you like the drape of satin but you want less shine, then sandwashed satin may be just the thing. It has a soft, matte, finish like the down of a peach. Otherwise it shares all of the characteristics of classic silk satin.
Silk crepe-back satin has a smooth satin face and a matte crêpe back. Combine the two surfaces in your garment for an interesting contrast.
Silk fabric satin is soft, shiny and delicate and is can used for pajamas, wedding gowns and evening dresses etc.
Silk fabric satin is also called crepe back satin fabric which represents there is one crepe texture on one side and one satin texture on other side. The regular weights includes 12mm, 16mm, 19mm, 22mm, 30mm and 40mm.
The only disadvantage of this fabric is that it is quite prone to wrinkles. However, heavy silk satin fabric in 22mm. 30mm and 40mm do much better in this regard thanks their weightiness.
