Not all satin is created equal. The difference between a $30 dress that looks cheap and a $130 dress that drapes like a dream comes down to one number: GSM (grams per square meter). Here is what to look for.
What is GSM and Why It Matters
GSM measures fabric density. For satin: 50-70gsm = sheer/lining grade (avoid for outerwear), 70-90gsm = lightweight day-wear satin, 90-120gsm = premium event-grade duchess satin (the WEUXS standard), 120gsm+ = heavyweight bridal/structured wear.
How to Spot Quality Satin In Photos
Look for: (1) sharp pleats that hold their shape, (2) subtle ripple in the highlights when light hits, (3) opacity even in light colors, (4) clean inside finishing visible in product detail shots. WEUXS uses 95-105gsm duchess satin across the collection.
Care That Preserves the Sheen
Cold hand wash or dry clean only. Hang dry away from direct sunlight. Iron on the lowest setting on the reverse side. Store on padded hangers — wire hangers create permanent shoulder dents.
