 Taffeta is a pure silk fabric that has a polished or glassy look. It is more crisp than dupioni and sometimes considered more formal. The primary difference between taffeta and dupioni is that taffeta is a finished (as opposed to a 'raw') silk.
Available in a myriad range of colors, taffeta is considered the best in silk for drapery, upholstery and dressmaking.
The history of Silk Taffeta
Taffeta originated in Persia. The name, derived from Persian, means "twisted woven." Taffeta is in the same class and demand as satin made of silk. The cloth is made of a plain or tabby weave, and the textures vary considerably. The fabric is smooth, tightly woven with fine warp yarn and has a plain weave. Silk Taffeta has a crisp drape and comes in various weights.
