Plain crepe satin
It feels soft and waxy, shiny, and more shiny than other silks, but the luster will become darker after washing a few times. And the front and back are different. The reverse side is matte.
Plain crepe satin has a tight weave and the lines are difficult to see with the naked eye. The disadvantages are that it is easy to snag, wrinkle, and has a large shrinkage rate. However, heavy plain crepe satin does not have this problem. It has a soft luster, thick and crisp feel, and is not easy to deform, snag, or wrinkle.
Stretch Satin
Similar to plain crepe satin is stretch satin. It is not 100% mulberry silk, but generally contains 5% to 10% spandex. Compared with plain crepe satin, it has a certain elasticity, is not easy to wrinkle, is easy to take care of, and also makes up for the shortcomings of pure silk.
Pearl Satin
It has a pearlescent luster, and the wrinkles on the surface are more obvious. The luster is fat and bright, similar to plain crepe satin, but the front and back are different. There is only pearl silk, and it is not mulberry silk, but tussah silk. It has a slight concave and convex feel, is soft and opaque, and is suitable for shirts, dresses, etc.
Crepe de Chine
The surface is crepey, with slightly concave and convex and wavy scale crepe lines, soft luster, soft hand feel, comfortable wearing, anti-wrinkle performance good. Crepe de chine is easier to recognize, the concave and convex feel is somewhat obvious, the texture is visible, and it is light and slightly transparent. Suitable for shirts, skirts, etc., it should be one of the most common types of silk.
Georgette
Also known as Georgette crepe. The texture is very similar to chiffon, I mean chemical fiber chiffon. The difference between silk chiffon and Georgette can be distinguished at a glance. Georgette is light and permeable, feels soft and elastic, has good air permeability and drape, the silk surface particles are slightly convex, and the structure is loose. In fact, there are many specifications for Georgette crepe, which mainly depends on the thickness of the mulberry silk raw material, the number of threads combined, the twist and the warp and weft density. Therefore, the thickness of ordinary georgette is different. The common ones are 4.5 mm and 12 mm. The arrangement of warp and weft is not discussed here. Personally, I prefer Chongqiao, which is opaque, smooth, not easy to wrinkle, and easy to take care of.
Silk chiffon
Chiffon is more familiar to the public because of its recent popularity in clothing, but most of the chiffons on the market are simulated silk snow Spinning. Characteristics of silk chiffon: thin, soft, good drape, light luster, slightly loose structure, clear holes visible. The disadvantages are that it’s easy to snag, and… it’s not easy to dry.
Shun Yu Crepe
Also called bark crepe, named after its shape like tree bark. It is light, permeable, not easy to wrinkle, and has good drape.
Silk organza
Organ yarn is not necessarily made of silk, and can also be divided into chemical fiber and silk. The organza in many shopping malls or Taobao stores is made of chemical fiber, because it is difficult to distinguish between silk organza and chemical fiber organza with the naked eye. Silk organza is hard, but not as hard as chemical fiber.
Silk organza feels softer, will not prick the skin, and is slightly stiff, but not as stiff as chemical fiber organza. The disadvantage is that it is very easy to break and snag. Chemical fiber ones are much better. Organza is easy to see through and is suitable for wedding dresses and dresses, but it must be lined.
Using twill weave, fabrics with obvious diagonal lines on the silk surface are generally light and thin in texture. It has been used in painting, embroidery and brocade box fabrics in ancient times. Because the surface is in the shape of a stacked mountain, it looks like ice when you look at it, so it is called Ling. Some are used for framing calligraphy and painting, brocade box packaging, and some are used for clothing materials.
