DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Stretch satin
Belonging to the satin base materials, Stretch satin is a finely shiny, smooth-surfaced, elastic woven textile that combines the elegance of classic satin with elastic comfort. Its soft drape and slight elasticity make it ideal for making body-hugging yet comfortable garments.
Composition and structural characteristics
Stretch satin is a fabric made from 95% polyester and 5% elastane, providing durability, a silky feel and the necessary elasticity. The 100 g/m² weight places it in the lightweight category, so the material has a fine drape and is airy, yet easy to handle.
As a result of the satin weaving technology, one side of the material is smooth and shiny, while the back side has a more matte appearance. The elastane content allows for slight stretch in the material, which increases comfort and improves fit, especially for body-hugging garments.
The 150 cm width allows for economical cutting and efficient material use across various application areas.
Applications
Stretch satin can be widely used in women's and girls' fashion, for example for making elegant blouses, body-hugging dresses, skirts, tunics and scarves. For looser, floating cuts, crinkle silk is the better fit. The combination of the shiny surface and the elastic structure is particularly advantageous for occasion wear.
For nightwear and underwear, it is used as a base material for robes, nightgowns, slips and pyjamas, where softness and comfort are especially important. For occasion wear, it is also ideal for making evening gowns and bridesmaid dresses, as well as festive accessories.
As a lining material, it can be used for blazers, coats and heavier fabrics, where the smooth surface and easy sliding are an advantage. It is also suitable for decorative purposes, such as making decorative cushions, table runners, chair skirts and event decorations.
