Handfeel. Drape.

A guide to the questions behind material selection. This is an educational overview, not a claim about stocked fabrics or certified materials.
Stretch & recovery
Consider drape, stretch direction, recovery and surface feel alongside the garment silhouette.
A weave, not a fibre
Specify the actual fibre composition. Satin appearance alone does not establish silk content or performance.
