Poly satin is very supple, shiny, good for formal wear, high court gowns and wedding dresses. Pioly satin is a man-made fiber, with a glossy surface on one side produced by a twill weave with the weft-threads almost hidden.

Poly satin originated in China (Zaytoun, China - now Canton - a port from which satins were exported during the Middle Ages). It became known in Europe during the 12th, and 13th Centuries in Italy and was a favorite of all court life because of its exquisite qualities and feel.

It usually has a lustrous surface and a dull back. The luster is produced by running it between hot cylinders. Poly satin is made in many colors, weights, varieties, qualities, and degrees of stiffness.
