What is Charmeuse?

 Charmeuse is a fabric that can be made of silk or polyester—it is softer and more lightweight than satin, though the front side of fabric resembles satin’s shiny finish and its weave is classified as a satin weave.

The appearance and delicate stitching suit charmeuse to flowing garments with a great deal of drape, such as evening gowns and lingerie. It tends to be a clinging fabric and will tear easily, so dry cleaning is recommended.
