synthetic silk
Manufactured lustrous fiber
Synthetic silk is fabric engineered to mimic the look and feel of natural silk, typically made from petroleum-based fibers like polyester or nylon.
It offers silk's sheen and drape at lower cost, though it may lack the breathability and texture of the real thing: The blouse was synthetic silk, but you couldn't tell from across the room.
