16mm 19mm 22mm 30mm 100% silk satin fabric for dress

Product Overview

This 100% silk satin combines a smooth, silky hand with lightweight movement, fluid drape, breathability, and a subtle light-reflective finish. It is intended primarily for dresses and other fashion garments where softness, elegance, comfort, and surface luster are important.

The product title lists 16 mm, 19 mm, 22 mm, and 30 mm options. In international silk trading, “mm” commonly refers to momme rather than millimeters. The page also states a weight range of 68–115 gsm but does not map each momme option to a specific GSM. Buyers should therefore confirm the selected momme, corresponding GSM, construction, and finished hand before ordering.

In addition to plain-dyed silk satin, the source lists silver, PA, PU, and PVC-coated options, as well as waterproof silk satin. These should be treated as optional versions rather than standard properties of every color or weight.

Material, Construction, Appearance, and Hand Feel

100% silk composition

The product is specified as 100% silk. Silk provides a naturally smooth hand, elegant drape, and comfortable next-to-skin feel, making the fabric commercially relevant for premium dresses, blouses, skirts, sleepwear, and linings.

Because fiber identity, grade, yarn specification, and construction density are not detailed on the page, buyers with strict quality requirements should request the available technical specification, sample cutting, or relevant material test documentation.

Satin surface

The satin construction produces a smooth face with a soft sheen that catches light without requiring a heavy decorative treatment. This appearance can add depth and movement to bias-cut dresses, flowing skirts, blouses, eveningwear, and bridal designs.

Luster, opacity, body, and drape may vary among the 16 mm, 19 mm, 22 mm, and 30 mm options. Buyers should assess the exact version in the intended color because dark, pale, and highly saturated shades may behave differently under lighting and during garment construction.

Plain-dyed and coated versions

Plain-dyed fabric is listed alongside silver, PA, PU, and PVC-coated options. A coating can materially change the fabric’s hand, drape, breathability, surface appearance, sewing behavior, care requirements, and suitability for direct skin contact.

For coated or waterproof projects, specify the intended end use and required performance before sampling. The coating type, coating side, target appearance, chemical restrictions, test standard, and required level of water resistance should be confirmed separately.

Key Product Features

• Soft and luxurious hand: The source describes the fabric as soft, silky, and luxurious, supporting premium fashion and occasionwear positioning.
• Fluid, lightweight movement: Its lightweight character supports dresses, skirts, blouses, and sleepwear that require ease of movement and a flowing silhouette.
• Subtle shimmering finish: The satin face reflects light and can add visual depth to evening, bridal, and fashion garments.
• Breathable comfort: The source presents the fabric as breathable and suitable for warm-weather comfort. Required comfort or air-permeability performance should be confirmed when a buyer has a measurable standard.
• Custom color development: Colors can be produced according to buyer requirements, with lab-dip and plain-color approval sampling available.
• Dyeing and printing potential: The page describes the fabric as suitable for dyeing and printing. Confirm the print method, colorfastness target, artwork, repeat, and minimum order before development.
• Optional functional treatments: Waterproof, flame-retardant, anti-static, tear-resistant, and shrink-resistant features are listed. Their availability may depend on the selected construction or finish and should not be assumed to apply simultaneously to every version.
• Quantity-based commercial terms: Pricing is determined by order quantity and quality requirements, with larger quantities generally receiving more favorable pricing.

Detailed Applications and Use Cases

Dresses, eveningwear, and occasionwear

Dresses are the principal application identified by the product title. The smooth satin face, soft hand, flowing movement, and light-reflective appearance can support bias-cut gowns, slip dresses, fluid evening dresses, draped bodices, gathered skirts, and other silhouettes that depend on graceful movement.

The lighter options may suit soft, flowing styles, while heavier options may provide more body and opacity. Because the page does not map each momme option to its precise GSM, opacity, or drape, buyers should compare physical samples before selecting a version for an unlined garment.

Bridal garments

The fabric may be considered for selected bridal gowns, bridesmaid dresses, slips, sashes, and decorative panels where a smooth surface and elegant sheen are required. Pale bridal colors can reveal transparency, seam impressions, needle marks, or surface imperfections more readily than darker colors.

Buyers should approve the exact color, luster, opacity, drape, and surface quality under the intended lighting. Lining, interfacing, reinforcement, or additional structure may be necessary depending on the gown design and selected fabric weight.

Blouses and shirts

The soft hand and fluid drape can work well for dressy blouses, relaxed shirts, tie-neck designs, cowl necklines, and other garments intended to move close to the body. Patternmakers should allow for the fabric’s smooth surface during cutting and sewing.

A fine needle, suitable thread, controlled stitch density, and careful seam handling should be evaluated during sampling. Exact settings depend on the selected weight, finish, garment construction, and factory equipment.

Skirts

Silk satin can create smooth A-line skirts, bias skirts, gathered designs, and fluid occasionwear separates. The shimmering surface emphasizes movement but may also reveal seam puckering or construction irregularities.

For pale colors or lightweight versions, assess whether a lining is required. Waistbands, zippers, hems, and high-stress seams should be tested before bulk production.

Sleepwear and intimate apparel

The silky hand and lightweight comfort can support premium pajamas, robes, camisoles, slips, and selected intimate-apparel designs. Buyers should confirm opacity, colorfastness, dimensional stability, seam comfort, and the intended care method before production.

Coated versions may not provide the same softness or breathability as plain-dyed silk satin and should be evaluated separately for next-to-skin applications.

Garment linings

The smooth surface may help garments slide comfortably over the body or underlying layers. It can be considered for premium coat, jacket, skirt, or dress linings when a silk composition is commercially appropriate.

Confirm the required strength, seam performance, colorfastness, and compatibility with the shell fabric. The final lining choice should also account for garment-care requirements and expected abrasion.

Bags and luggage

Bags and luggage are listed as uses on the source page, but suitability depends heavily on the chosen construction and finish. Plain lightweight silk satin may be better suited to decorative panels or interior lining than to high-abrasion exterior surfaces.

For exterior use, buyers should evaluate a coated version, backing, lamination, reinforcement, seam strength, abrasion resistance, tear resistance, water resistance, and cleaning requirements through application-specific testing.

Bedding and decorative home textiles

The fabric may be considered for selected pillowcases, decorative bedding panels, cushions, and other low- or moderate-abrasion home-textile uses where softness and luster are desired. Bedding applications require confirmation of width utilization, seam construction, colorfastness, shrinkage, wash care, and repeated-use performance.

The listed 114 cm width may influence cutting efficiency for larger home-textile items. Buyers should prepare a cutting plan before confirming bulk quantity.

Sofa and upholstery accents

Sofa use appears in the source, but upholstery suitability should be treated as conditional. Standard lightweight silk satin should not automatically be assumed to meet upholstery abrasion, seam-slippage, lightfastness, flame-performance, or cleaning requirements.

For decorative panels, cushions, or low-wear accents, evaluate the selected weight, backing, coating, reinforcement, and applicable market standards. Obtain test results or arrange project-specific testing when performance requirements are mandatory.

Gloves and accessories

The page tags include gloves and related garment applications. Silk satin may be suitable for fashion gloves, linings, scarves, sashes, bows, and decorative accessories where softness and sheen are valued. Fit, seam strength, surface snagging, and abrasion exposure should be checked in a finished-product sample.

Design and Manufacturing Considerations

• Confirm the exact weight: Approve the chosen 16 mm, 19 mm, 22 mm, or 30 mm option together with its actual GSM, width, hand feel, luster, opacity, and construction.
• Evaluate lining requirements: Lightweight or pale-colored satin may require lining depending on the garment, desired coverage, and lighting conditions.
• Control cutting: A smooth satin surface can shift during spreading and cutting. The garment factory should establish an appropriate cutting and handling process.
• Prevent seam puckering: Test the needle size, needle point, thread, stitch length, tension, and seam construction on the approved bulk-quality fabric.
• Plan edge finishing: Confirm the appropriate overlocking, narrow hemming, binding, French seam, or other edge treatment after evaluating fraying and bulk.
• Approve color before bulk production: Use the lab dip and approval sample to evaluate shade, luster, metamerism, and compatibility with trims or lining materials.
• Test special processes: Printing, embroidery, pleating, gathering, bonding, coating, and other treatments can affect appearance and hand feel. Conduct development trials before bulk approval.
• Confirm care instructions: The page does not provide a washing or care method. Establish care labeling only after confirming the final dyeing, printing, coating, garment construction, and performance results.
• Define measurable requirements: If colorfastness, dimensional stability, tear strength, seam strength, anti-static performance, flame behavior, or water resistance is important, communicate the test method and acceptance criteria before quotation and sampling.

Customization, Sampling, and Bulk Ordering

Custom colors and product development

Colors can be developed according to the buyer’s requirements. Provide a Pantone reference, physical color standard, or approved swatch when requesting a lab dip.

The page also lists printing, OEM service, logo customization, custom packaging, and several coating options. Availability, application method, MOQ, cost, and lead time may vary, so each requirement should be reviewed before development.

Sampling schedule

• Lab dip: normally 3–5 days.
• Plain-color approval sample: normally 7–10 days.
• Sample payment method: confirm during quotation.
• Sample MOQ, sample size, courier cost, and sample-stock availability: confirm with FabricsTrades.

MOQ and production lead time

The stated MOQ is 2,000 meters per color. Mass-production lead time is listed as 3–20 days, but the actual schedule may depend on color approval, fabric weight, coating, testing, order quantity, raw-material availability, packaging, and production-line capacity.

The source states a production capacity of more than 3 million meters per month and daily output of up to 150,000 meters. Confirm current capacity allocation and the shipment schedule for the selected silk satin specification before issuing the purchase order.

Packaging and container quantities

The stated roll lengths are 50, 100, or 200 meters per roll. Custom packing details can be discussed according to the buyer’s requirements.

The source gives typical loading quantities of approximately:

• 20GP: 110,000 meters.
• 40GP: 220,000 meters.

Actual loading quantity may vary with roll length, fabric weight, packaging dimensions, inspection requirements, and container utilization.

Shipping

The listed shipping methods are express and sea freight. Confirm the Incoterm, departure port, destination, freight arrangement, insurance, documentation, and required delivery date during quotation.

Pricing

Price is determined according to order quantity and quality requirements. The source describes three online quantity-related price bands and states that larger quantities receive more favorable pricing.

For an accurate quotation, provide the selected momme or GSM, width, color, finish, coating, quantity per color, testing requirements, packaging, destination, and delivery schedule.

Payment terms requiring confirmation

The product page contains two payment descriptions:

• For first-time clients: 30% down payment and 70% before shipping by T/T.
• Elsewhere on the page: 30% T/T advance payment and 70% upon receipt of a copy of the bill of lading.
• For repeat clients: L/C may be considered.
• Other payment terms may be negotiated.

Because the balance-payment milestone is described differently, buyers should confirm the applicable terms in the quotation, pro forma invoice, and sales contract before placing an order.

2024–2026 Fabric Regulations & Compliance Update

EU REACH and PFAS considerations

Because the page lists waterproof and coated versions, EU-bound programs may need to review the developing EU REACH universal PFAS restriction and any already applicable restrictions for the destination market and finished product.

The source does not establish that this silk satin is PFAS-free, certified, or compliant with a particular restricted-substance requirement. Buyers requiring waterproof, stain-resistant, coated, or other chemical finishing should communicate their restricted-substance list, test method, destination market, and documentation requirements before sampling.

Depending on the final specification and production batch, buyers may need to request available coating declarations, chemical information, technical data, traceability records, restricted-substance test reports, or third-party testing support.

ESPR and Digital Product Passport preparation

Buyers supplying textiles or finished garments to the EU may also need to monitor the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation and Digital Product Passport.

Data requirements can vary by product category and implementing rules. Buyers may need accurate records covering composition, supplier identity, production batch, dyeing or coating route, care information, chemical documentation, and other traceability data.

Legal, retailer, and testing requirements vary by destination, end use, finish, and date of sale. Confirm the applicable requirements before bulk production. Available reports, certificates, declarations, and supporting documents may depend on the final specification, production batch, and requested testing program.
