UFashion: Fabric of Choice

The fabric choice of spring is already everywhere: matte satin.
 
What makes it so beautiful? The diversity of this fabric. A garment can be elegant or edgy using the same fabric. Matte satin creates smooth, flowing styles that add a relaxed touch to your wardrobe, marrying casual with formal.
 
This is the ideal fabric for business dress. I recommend pairing a matte satin pencil skirt with a black oxford blouse.

 
The shimmer of the fabric adds a sleek, modern look to the design. Most designs that include the fabric are narrow and form fitting, perfectly blending elegance and edge. Matte satin fabric bends and flows around the body’s curves, flattering your figure when worn in the right cut. However, when choosing which shade of matte satin, remember the color must be compatible with your skin tone.
 
This glamorous fabric is perfect for evening and business looks. What would you wear it for?
