Pattern: Double dragons playing with a pearl

Flower bud satin is a silk fabric with unique charm, belonging to the satin category. Satin fabrics have a smooth and lustrous surface. The front and back appearances are different, each showing a different yarn. Due to the long float lines that form a shiny surface, it reflects light more easily, especially when using bright, low-twist long filament yarns, this effect is even more pronounced. Because the interlacing points of the satin weave are far apart, the individual interlacing points are covered by the long float lines on both sides, and the interlacing points are not visible on the front, making it soft and lustrous. The weaving technique of flower bud satin is complex, and its appearance is colorful and gorgeous, making it one of the higher-level categories in silk products. Its features include smoothness, softness, and rich patterns and colors. This fabric is often used to make cheongsams, cotton-padded jackets, etc. Due to its unique patterns and craftsmanship, it is gentle and charming, extremely light, thin and soft.
