Satin dresses

Satin is one of the most expensive fabrics, characterized by smoothness and shine. The canvas is made from natural fabrics, although sometimes it can be combined with synthetic fibers. The material has many pleasant qualities, therefore it is often used in sewing dresses.

In the production of clothing, mixtures of satin with synthetic fibers are often used, which gives the fabrics elasticity and becomes cheaper for buyers.

• Satin provides good ventilation.
• The fabric is hygroscopic.
• The material practically does not wrinkle.
• The canvas is very pleasant to the touch.
• The fabric stands out for its excellent thermal conductivity.
• The material is not electrified, so it is often used in bedding.
• The fabric lends itself to draping.
• Natural fiber does not cause allergies, it is suitable for people with sensitive skin.

There are several classifications of satin based on the appearance of the fabric.

Depending on the origin of the fibers, satin can be:

• cotton - it is made exclusively from cotton fibers, while processing before production, as well as the density of weaving, may differ;

• mixed - a combination of synthetic (usually polyester) and cotton fibers. Thanks to the addition of synthetics, the fabric becomes wear-resistant, and also its cost is reduced;

• satin double - a combination of cotton and viscose fibers, which are often used as lining in clothes;

• silk satin - a combination of cotton and silk threads, while cotton is used in the manufacture of the wrong side of the product, it is dull, and silk is used for the front side and looks elegant. Such fabric is in demand when sewing formal wear, as well as for tablecloths or curtains;

• crepe satin - this fabric in many ways resembles the above-described type of satin, but the difference lies in the use of natural and artificial silk.

• staple - made of long sateen fibers, while their length reaches half a meter. This type of satin also includes lavsan, the ratio is 1: 1.
