Charmeuse Silks
Description
Charmeuse is made with a satin weave which is soft, yet supple and drapes
beautifully. Fabric is woven with a satin weave, where the warp threads
cross over three or more of the backing threads. The front side of the fabric
has a satin finish, lustrous and reflective, and the back has a dull finish.
General Uses
Charmeuse is most often used for loose-fitting, drapey blouses and dresses,
bridal gowns, slinky evening wear, nightgowns and lingerie. Charmeuse is
somewhat difficult to sew because it is so slippery. Pins and needles leave marks,
so pin only at the edges. It doesn't unravel much, however.
Fabric Care
If you wash charmeuse before cutting it out, you can wash it after it is
made. It tears easily, so handwashing is best. Note: pre-made Charmeuse
garments most likely have not been washed and may pucker if laundered. Best
to Dry Clean off the rack charmeuse items, or wash with care. Click on the
fabric care buttons to the left for more information on washing silks.
Colors
Charmeuse is popular. We stock white and ivory, as well as several colors.
