| Common miss | Calling every shiny cloth satin without checking weave and fibre. |
Does every satin fabric listing mean the same cloth?
No. Satin is a weave with a smooth, reflective face. Fibre can be silk, polyester, or acetate. Name fibre, weave, and whether the reverse is dull or also shiny.
Can you skip sampling satin fabric?
Drape a sample over a form. Judge both face shine and reverse.
What should stay on the brief besides the keyword satin fabric?
