satin
Glossy formal fabric
Satin is a smooth, glossy fabric with a lustrous face and dull back, made from silk, polyester, or other fibers woven in a particular way.
The sheen comes from the weave structure rather than the fiber itself.
Satin appears in formal wear, lingerie, and bedding: satin sheets, a satin ribbon.
As an adjective, it describes smooth, lustrous surfaces: satin finish, satin skin.
