If you are wanting a luxurious blouse or dress but confused over the fabric that you want to go along with, like say between silk charmeuse or plain silk, we will help you sort out your choice.
Silk Charmeuse fabrics are elegant, lightweight satin with incredible fluidity. Idea for blouses, lined bias cut dresses, lining bridal gowns, lingerie. With floaty appearance, charmeuse drapes well and best worn for formal dress. Meanwhile, silk, also called satin silk is the term used by most manufacturers to refer to polyester silk. Both fabrics charmeuse weave and satin weave are essentially the same tight, heavy weight weave with a glossy surface and a dull back.
Between the two, silk charmeuse is the most expensive. Top designers use this type of fabric for gowns used by celebrities in the red carpet.
In the picture below, notice the difference between the drape and the appearance between the two silks. Although both look luxurious and glossy, the image on the left (pink dress) drapes better that the image on the right (white ball gown dress).
If you are wanting a silk fabric for your gown, the type of silk to use depends on the design that you want. If you want more drape and more elegance, it is better to prefer a silk charmeuse over a silk satin fabric. But you want a less pricey material, opt for satin silk.
