100% silk satin fabric plain dye for cloth

Product Overview

This custom plain-dyed silk satin is listed as a lightweight 100% silk fabric with a smooth, silky hand, an elegant surface sheen, and a weight range of 68–115 gsm. It is intended for dresses, blouses, skirts, bridalwear, sleepwear, linings, and selected bedding, home-decor, bag, luggage, and sofa applications.

Plain-dyed fabric is available in colors developed to the buyer’s requirements. The source page also lists silver, PA, PU, and PVC coating routes, including waterproof coated constructions. Because a coating can materially change the fabric’s weight, drape, breathability, hand feel, appearance, care requirements, and labeling, buyers should specify whether they require the uncoated silk satin or a particular coated version before sampling.

Product Specifications

Specification confirmation: The current product listing identifies the material as 100% silk but also assigns the product to a “Rayon Fabric (Artificial Silk)” category. Buyers should therefore confirm the final fiber composition, obtain an applicable composition declaration or test report, and approve a representative sample before ordering. Optional coatings and performance treatments should also be documented separately from the silk base fabric.

Material, Construction, Appearance, and Hand Feel

The product is described as a lightweight silk satin with a soft, silky, and luxurious hand. Its smooth face and surface luster can add visual depth and an elegant appearance to fashion garments, bridal styles, lingerie-inspired pieces, linings, and decorative products.

At 68–115 gsm, the fabric is expected to offer fluid movement rather than heavy structure. The selected weight within this range will influence opacity, drape, sewing behavior, durability, and end-use suitability. Buyers should request the exact construction, density, finished weight, and hand-feel reference for the required quality.

The source describes the fabric as breathable and lightweight, supporting comfort and movement in warm-weather garments. These are qualitative product descriptions rather than quantified laboratory results. Any required air-permeability, moisture-management, dimensional-stability, colorfastness, tear-strength, or wash-performance standard should be communicated before quotation and verified on the approved quality.

Key Product Features

• Silk satin appearance: A smooth, lustrous surface and soft hand can create a refined look for fashion, bridal, sleepwear, and premium lining programs.
• Lightweight drape: The 68–115 gsm range supports flowing silhouettes, gathering, ruffles, bias-cut designs, and soft layering, depending on the selected construction.
• Custom plain-dyed colors: Colors can be developed according to the buyer’s requirement. Confirm the color standard, light source, tolerance, lab-dip approval process, and order quantity.
• Optional coated versions: Silver, PA, PU, and PVC coating routes are listed. Coating availability, base quality, finished weight, hand feel, functional target, and testing requirements must be confirmed for each project.
• Conditional functional properties: Waterproof, flame-retardant, anti-static, tear-resistant, and shrink-resistant features appear in the source information. These should be treated as specification-dependent options or claims requiring confirmation—not as automatic properties of every plain-dyed quality.
• Customization support: OEM service, logo customization, color development, printing, and customized packing may be evaluated according to the buyer’s request.
• Volume-based quotation: Pricing depends on the selected quality and quantity, with more favorable pricing available for larger orders.

Detailed Applications and Use Cases

Dresses, Skirts, and Fashion Garments

The smooth surface, lightweight construction, and fluid appearance make this satin suitable for dresses, skirts, occasionwear, evening styles, and softly draped fashion pieces. It can support bias-cut silhouettes, gathered panels, ruffles, overlays, and designs where movement and luster are important.

Opacity and body will vary across the 68–115 gsm range and by color. Pale shades or lighter qualities may require lining. Designers should approve the fabric under the intended lighting conditions and test seam slippage, edge fraying, pressing response, and garment drape before bulk production.

Blouses and Shirts

For blouses and refined shirts, the fabric can provide a soft hand, elegant sheen, and comfortable lightweight feel. It is particularly relevant to relaxed silhouettes, draped necklines, tie details, soft sleeves, and occasion-oriented tops.

Sampling should confirm whether the chosen weight provides sufficient opacity and stability for the design. Very fluid qualities may require lightweight interfacing at collars, cuffs, button plackets, or other structured areas.

Bridalwear and Occasionwear

The lustrous surface and fluid movement can complement bridal dresses, bridesmaid styles, formal separates, sashes, decorative panels, and garment linings. The selected quality should be evaluated alongside lace, embroidery, beading, boning, or other components used in the finished garment.

For embellished or highly structured designs, test whether the fabric can support the decoration without distortion, snagging, seam damage, or excessive stress. Lining, underlining, or reinforcement may be required according to the silhouette.

Sleepwear and Lingerie-Inspired Products

The soft, silky handle and lightweight character can suit robes, pajama sets, camisoles, slips, and other sleepwear. Breathability and smoothness may support next-to-skin comfort, subject to the selected finish.

Buyers should confirm colorfastness, shrinkage, dimensional stability, seam strength, and the intended care method. An optional coating would normally change the hand and breathability and should be evaluated separately from an uncoated sleepwear quality.

Garment and Accessory Linings

The smooth surface can help garments slide comfortably over inner layers, making the fabric relevant to linings for dresses, skirts, jackets, occasionwear, gloves, bags, and luggage. Its 114 cm width should be reviewed against marker efficiency and pattern dimensions.

For frequently worn garments or high-friction interiors, request suitable abrasion, seam-strength, colorfastness, and tear-performance confirmation. A lightweight silk satin should not automatically be assumed to meet heavy-duty lining requirements.

Bedding and Decorative Home Textiles

The fabric may be considered for decorative bedding, pillow covers, bed accents, soft furnishings, and other home-textile details where sheen and a silky hand are desired. Buyers should select the weight according to the required opacity, drape, durability, and laundering method.

Washable bedding programs should be sampled and tested for dimensional change, colorfastness, seam performance, surface appearance, and care compatibility. The suitability of coated versions for direct skin contact or repeated laundering must be confirmed separately.

Bags and Luggage

The listed bag and luggage uses are most credible for linings, decorative panels, presentation packaging, fashion accessories, or coated constructions developed for a specific requirement. Uncoated lightweight silk satin may not provide the abrasion resistance or structural strength required for an exposed, load-bearing outer shell.

For outer panels or demanding interiors, confirm the exact coating, backing, tear strength, abrasion resistance, seam strength, water-resistance target, and bonding compatibility. Reinforcement or lamination may be necessary.

Sofa and Upholstery-Related Uses

Sofa use is listed on the source page, but a 68–115 gsm silk satin should be carefully evaluated before use as primary upholstery. It may be better suited to decorative cushions, trims, protected panels, or backed and coated applications than to high-abrasion seating surfaces.

Any upholstery program should establish requirements for abrasion, seam strength, snagging, pilling, colorfastness, dimensional stability, flame performance, backing, and cleaning. Approval should be based on end-use testing rather than the general product description alone.

Design and Manufacturing Considerations

• Quality selection: Confirm the exact GSM, density, construction, width tolerance, color, finish, and hand feel. The broad 68–115 gsm range can contain materially different qualities.
• Opacity and lining: Review each color and weight under the intended lighting. Lightweight or pale-colored qualities may need lining or underlining.
• Cutting and sewing: Conduct garment trials using a fine, sharp needle and suitable thread. Test for needle marking, puckering, seam slippage, fraying, and snagging before establishing production settings.
• Edge finishing: Evaluate narrow overlocking, French seams, binding, rolled hems, or another suitable finish according to the garment and fabric quality.
• Color approval: Provide a recognized color reference and confirm the lab-dip approval conditions. Bulk shade variation, colorfastness, and metamerism requirements should be agreed before production.
• Printing: Printing is listed as a customization option, but the print method, artwork, color count, penetration, hand feel, fastness, and minimum quantity require technical evaluation.
• Coatings: Silver, PA, PU, and PVC coatings may alter the base fabric’s composition declaration, finished width, weight, drape, breathability, sewing behavior, bonding, and care instructions. Confirm the complete finished construction.
• Functional finishes: Waterproof, flame-retardant, anti-static, tear-resistant, and shrink-resistant requirements should be expressed through an agreed test method, target value, intended market, and end use.
• Care: No care instructions are stated on the source page. Buyers should confirm the care method after the final dyeing, printing, coating, or finishing route has been selected.

Customization, Sampling, and Bulk Ordering

Custom colors can be developed according to the buyer’s requirements. A lab dip normally takes 3–5 days, while a plain-color approval sample normally takes 7–10 days. Bulk-production time is stated as 3–20 days, but the actual schedule should be confirmed against the selected quality, coating, color, testing program, order quantity, and production calendar.

The standard MOQ is 2,000 meters per color. OEM service and logo customization may be provided depending on the request. Printing, coatings, custom packing, and other development options require feasibility confirmation.

Standard packing can be arranged in rolls of 50, 100, or 200 meters. Other packing details may be customized. The source gives usual loading references of approximately 110,000 meters for one 20GP container and 220,000 meters for one 40GP container; actual loading will depend on roll dimensions, packing, fabric weight, and shipment requirements.

Express and sea freight are listed as available shipping methods. Sample-payment methods should be confirmed before dispatch.

For bulk orders, the description states payment of 30% by T/T in advance and 70% upon receipt of a copy of the bill of lading. A separate page-level payment note states that first-time clients typically pay 30% down and 70% before shipping, while L/C may be considered for repeat clients and other terms may be negotiated. Because these descriptions differ, the final payment trigger and method should be confirmed in the quotation and proforma invoice.
