Silk Stretch Satin Fabric Olive

Silk Stretch Satin Fabric Olive

This silk satin fabric in olive catches the light the way only true silk does, with deep shadows in the folds and a soft sheen across the highlights. The olive tone reads as earthy and refined at once, neither too green nor too grey, just that muted in-between shade that flatters both warm and cool skin tones. You can see from the fluid drape in the photos how this fabric wraps around the body rather than sitting stiffly against it. The satin weave creates that signature lustrous front with a more matte reverse, and the stretch gives you just enough extra give that pure silk typically lacks.

What is this silk stretch satin fabric

This fabric is woven from predominantly silk with a small percentage of elastane, so you keep the natural sheen and cool comfort of silk while gaining width-wise stretch. The satin weave lays most of the warp or weft threads on the surface, which explains that deep lustre and fluid drape you see in the photos. Because the weight is light, the fabric moves with every step and never hangs stiff or flat. The finish feels silky soft against the skin, breathable and lightly translucent, exactly what you'd expect from quality silk fabric. If you're after genuine silk fabric with a modern edge, this is one that combines luxury with wearing comfort.
