Duchess satin is a luxurious fabric with a silky appearance, appreciated for its heavy fall and its shine. It has a shiny side and a matte side.
This English green duchess satin, made in Italy, is ideal for making evening dresses and elegant ceremonial outfits. It is made of 28% silk, which gives it a more luxurious look than 100% acetate duchess satin.
From the journal
g/ml tells you what the metre you buy weighs, g/m² what the fabric itself weighs. The formula, a table by width, and when to look at which.
Momme measures how much a square metre of silk weighs. Where it comes from, how to work it out from our weights in g/ml, and what it does (or doesn’t) tell you about a fabric.
