This popular medium-weight Silk Charmeuse has a satin weave in which the warp threads cross over several of the weft threads, creating a shiny front, a dull crepe back and a bit of natural elasticity. Cherished for it lustrous shine, elegant drape and luscious feel, Silk Charmeuse is marvelously versatile. The shiny satin finish gives it a beautiful sophisticated look that’s perfect for lingerie, nightgowns, skirts, chic dresses, flowing gowns, drapey blouses, sumptuous wall hangings and elegant pillows. Silk Charmeuse prints look similar to images printed on glossy photo paper.
