Silk-like sleepwear.
Start with the fabric.

Our main focus is silk-like pajamas and robes. Explore four fabric directions, from the familiar sheen of standard satin to the understated look of matte satin chiffon.

01 / THE LOOK

Silk-like, explained.

A description of appearance and hand feel, rather than a claim of natural silk content. Polyester is commonly used in this fabric family; the composition of your chosen quality is confirmed separately.

02 / THE STRUCTURE

Satin is a construction.

Its smooth face and reflective character come from the fabric structure. Different yarns and finishes can change the surface, drape and feel.

03 / THE CHOICE

Compare the actual swatches.

Trade names are a useful starting point. For your order, compare the approved fabric sample, composition, weight, color and finished garment.

FOUR FABRIC DIRECTIONS

Find the character
of your collection.

Our four categories describe fabric directions.
They are not a fixed ranking of quality or price.

Actual fabric photographs supplied by MEILU. Color and sheen vary with lighting and screens; confirm your choice with a physical swatch.

A classic satin look. Smooth, with a clear sheen.

Standard Satin

普通色丁

Standard satin offers the familiar smooth surface and flowing highlights associated with silk-like sleepwear. Choose it when a classic satin appearance is the starting point for your collection.

Construction & character: The satin weave creates a smooth, reflective face. Hand feel, drape and thickness vary with yarn specification and finishing. For qualities with limited stretch, allow enough ease in the garment pattern.
Consider for: Classic pajama sets, robes and bridal collections where a lustrous satin finish is desired.
Before you choose: Compare sheen, opacity, drape and any give in the actual swatch, then confirm the finished garment fit.

A fuller feel, with attention to seam stability.

Textured & Twisted Satin

加弹加捻色丁

Our textured-and-twisted satin brings together the give of textured yarn and the yarn cohesion provided by twisting. In our range, this quality generally feels more compact and substantial, with a higher fabric weight than our standard satin.

Construction & character: We select this quality for a balance of resilience, hand feel and seam stability. Twisting helps bring the filaments together; seam opening under stress must still be assessed on a sewn sample, because fabric construction and sewing also affect the result.
Consider for: Pajamas and robes where a fuller hand feel, ease of movement and dependable seam performance are priorities.
Before you choose: Confirm fabric weight in g/m², stretch and recovery, then compare the hand feel and seam performance on the chosen garment sample.

More give for everyday comfort.

Textured-Yarn Satin

加弹色丁

Textured satin is chosen for its added give and more accommodating feel during movement. For sleepwear, a relaxed cut and suitable fabric stretch work together to reduce a feeling of restriction.

Construction & character: Texturing creates crimp in filament yarns, contributing stretch and recovery. The amount and direction of stretch in the finished fabric depend on its construction and finishing; textured yarn does not by itself mean added elastane.
Consider for: Relaxed pajama sets and homewear where bending, sitting and stretching comfortably are important.
Before you choose: Check stretch direction, recovery and fit using the actual swatch and garment sample. Confirm composition separately.

A softer sheen, with a more understated look.

Matte Satin Chiffon

缎面雪纺

Our matte satin chiffon combines texturing and twisting with a subdued surface finish. It offers a quieter visual alternative for buyers who prefer less shine in silk-like sleepwear.

Construction & character: The selection focus is a balance of low sheen, hand feel, drape and wearing comfort. Satin chiffon is a trade name: it does not establish a fixed fiber content, weight or degree of sheerness.
Consider for: Coordinated sleepwear and robe collections with a low-shine, understated appearance.
Before you choose: Compare the matte finish in your chosen color, then confirm weight, opacity, stretch and seam performance with a physical sample.
