Traditionally, satin comes in two
varieties. Most satin that you'll encounter in the
bedding industry is made from polyester, and is a
low grade fabric. We do not carry
bedding in polyester satin, but rather the higher
quality Acetate satin.
Specifically, our satin is "Bridal"
satin, which is the grade used in making bridal gowns.
It is composed of a nylon acetate, and is a heavier,
thicker, more luxurious satin than the polyester.
It has two definite sides to it. The correct or "top"
side is frictionless and bears a strong luster. The
reverse side is somewhat dull, and bears the grain
of the fabric.
This "Bridal" satin is
only available to us in 45" wide bolts, and thus,
all sheets made of "Bridal" satin must have
a center seam. This center seam is reinforced, and
generally does not cause a problem, but you should
be aware that the sheets will come with it.
