About Peau de Soie
Peau de Soie, translating to 'skin of silk', is a medium-weight satin fabric characterized by a smooth, lustrous surface and a slightly heavier drape compared to traditional silk satin. It is typically constructed using a satin weave, which creates a soft, glossy finish on one side and a matte finish on the reverse. This fabric is often used in high-end fashion for evening wear, bridal gowns, and tailored garments due to its ability to hold shape while providing a fluid silhouette. The blend of silk and polyester enhances durability and ease of care, making it a popular choice for both designers and consumers.
