Description and Properties of Satin
Known for its smooth and lustrous appearance resulting from its unique weave structure, satin has a silky front while its reverse side remains dull. Its slippery surface makes it prone to snagging and tearing, requiring delicate handling.
- Smooth and Shiny : The satin surface reflects light intensely, providing an incomparable shine.
- Slippery Texture : Although visually appealing, this characteristic makes satin difficult to work with.
- Snag Susceptibility : The fabric's delicacy makes it vulnerable to snags, which can compromise its integrity.
