Quick Summary

Sateen is a fabric constructed using the satin weave method, characterized by a smooth, lustrous face and a dull back. While originally made from silk, sateen is now commonly produced from cotton yarns. It is a durable fabric often used for dresses, linings, bedspreads, and upholstery. The satin weave itself is one of the three basic textile weaves, distinguished by long floating yarns that create its characteristic sheen. Sateen is specifically a weft-faced satin, meaning the filling yarns create the floats on the surface.1234
