Acetate bridal satin is a sleek and elegant, yet durable, fabric with a smooth, lustrous face and a matte backing. It has an extremely slick feel, and its beautiful shimmering drape is the trademark of acetate satins. Bridal satin is especially suited to bridal party garments and reception linens. However, its name is a bit of a misnomer as its uses extend far beyond weddings, as it is popular in dresses, skirts, blouses, ties, and any other garments that benefit from a high-sheen textile. Bridal satin's lustrous shine is also excellent for luxury bedding as it feels "slippery" and glides delightfully against the skin.
