What does satin means?

Satin is a type of fabric characterized by a smooth, glossy surface on one side and a dull finish on the reverse. It is typically made from silk, polyester, or nylon, and is often used in clothing, upholstery, and bedding due to its luxurious appearance and soft texture. The weave of satin creates its distinctive sheen, making it popular for formalwear and special occasions.
