Satin

Satin is defined by its weave rather than its fibre: long yarns float over the surface, giving a smooth, glossy face and a duller back. It drapes fluidly and feels cool to the touch.

Common uses include satin for gowns, blouses, night suits, linings, jumpsuits, scarves and festive wear. Many designs are sold in a range of colours, so you can match a full collection.

Decide between a high-sheen and a matte satin, and check whether you need stretch. Stretch satins suit fitted garments, while non-stretch types are better for gowns and linings.

Most polyester-based fabrics wash well at low temperatures and dry quickly. Use a cool iron on the reverse and test a small swatch first, because finishes and prints vary between designs.

No. Satin describes a type of weave and can be made from silk, polyester, viscose or cotton. Silk satin is a natural fibre, while polyester satin is more affordable and easier to care for. See our silk fabric collection.
