Silk taffeta is one of the most elegant special occasion fabrics. It is a admirably crisp, soft,

smooth, glossy, plain-weave woven  fabric made with a plain-weave technique, which

alternately passes a weft above and below a single warp, thus forming a chessboard grid

pattern. The uniqueness of taffeta is that the threads are twisted during weaving and are

woven very tightly to form the stiffness and structure of the final fabric.  Taffeta silk fabric

is the second most widely used silk (only after silk dupioni).

Taffeta is widely used in wedding accessories, evening dresses, ball gowns, suits, blouses,

linings, underwear, clothing, hats, bags, curtains and etc.
