Turquoise Charmeuse Satin Fabric by the Yard - 58/60 Wide Silky

Our review of this turquoise charmeuse satin fabric finds it best suited for makers who want a luxurious, fluid drape without heavy stretch. The bottom line: this 58/60 in wide satin is a soft, buttery-feeling polyester blend that holds an elegant sheen and falls beautifully for dresses, nightgowns, blouses, and event drapery. Buyers who value color accuracy, smooth hand, and a fabric that maintains its look after washing will appreciate it; those needing high elasticity should note the modest 2% stretch and consider other knits.

Key Features

• Luxurious charmeuse weave: The satin surface gives a smooth, silky texture and a subtle sheen that elevates garments and decor.
• Beautiful drape: At about 0.22mm thickness with gentle stretch, the fabric falls fluidly for gowns and flowing skirts.
• Durable composition: Made of 98% polyester and 2% stretch, it balances softness with easy care and lasting appearance after washing.
• Wide usable width: The 58/60 in width reduces seams for wider garments and tablecloths, making cutting and layout simpler.
• Versatile uses: Suitable for apparel, linings, robes, pillows, and event drapery where a silky finish is desired.

Who It's For

This fabric is ideal for sewists and costume makers creating dresses, nightgowns, blouses, skirts, and lingerie-style pieces that benefit from a sheen and soft hand. Event decorators and crafters will also find it useful for tablecloths, drapery, and accent pillows where an elegant finish matters.

It is not the best choice for projects that require significant stretch or high recovery, such as activewear or body-hugging garments that need deep elasticity; those shoppers should look for fabrics with greater stretch content. Anyone seeking a natural silk feel may also prefer silk charmeuse over polyester-based options.
