Charmeuse is a luxury fabric made from silk with a satin finish. It has a floating appearance which drapes very well. The fabric is lightweight and it has a glossy appearance and an extremely soft texture. The fabric is quite fragile and has to be handeld with care.

The fabric is woven in such a way that, from the front, only the warp threads show. Numerous weft threads are also skipped in weaving, creating long, smooth lines of warp threads. As a result, the front of a satin weave textile is glossy and very smooth, while the backing is matte, and slightly rough. The look of satin is highly prized for dressy garments, since it flows well on the body and catches light in stunning patterns.
