Liquid Bridal Satin Fabric By the Yard

What Is Liquid Satin Fabric?

Liquid satin is a woven and lightweight fabric that has a glossy front and matte back. It moves like liquid when light rolls across the surface; that's where its name comes from. Liquid satin fabric is composed of polyester fiber or a liquid satin blend.

Tailors use it for blouses, lining and slip dresses. It also works well in scarves and overlays due to its beautiful flowy drape.

What Is Liquid Satin Made Of?

Fiber content defines what liquid satin is made of. Polyester, silk, and blended yarns are common fibers used.

• Polyester satin, known for its affordable price and easy care

• Silk satin is known for a natural sheen and soft hand, with a higher price

• Blended yarns give durability and drape a balance.

The glossy look in liquid satin is because of the satin weave, not only the fiber content. So, whatever the fiber is, the warp threads floating over the weft threads give satin its shine.
