My favorite satin
Satin is a cloth that typically has a glossy surface and a dull back. It is a warp-dominated weaving technique that forms a minimum number of interlacings in a fabric. If a fabric is formed with a satin weave using filament fibers such as silk, nylon, or polyester, the corresponding fabric is termed a “satin”. If the yarns used are short-staple yarns such as cotton, the fabric formed is considered a sateen.
Satin is commonly used in apparel: satin baseball jackets, athletic shorts, women’s lingerie, nightgowns, and evening gowns, but also in some men’s boxer shorts, shirts and neckties, interior furnishing fabrics, upholstery, and bed sheets. It is also used in the production of pointe shoes for use in ballet.
“How do I explain my love of satin? I just love the look and smooth feel of it. It’s so shiny and pretty that you just want to touch it, caress it. I get a real thrill out of wearing my silky panties under a long luscious satin nightgown. It glides and shimmers over my body and as I move around it ripples into different shades.
I love all the colors of satin, but my favorites are red, black, blue, and fuschia. After I come home from work, I’ll get into the shower or a nice bubble bath . My favorite part is slipping into a beautiful satin nightgown. I make a cup of tea and relax watching tv or reading a novel and then go to bed where my satin gown glides across my sexy shiny satin sheets. Ahhh, it feels so good to roll around in the satin and feel all the softness against my skin.”
