Charmeuse

It is used in women's clothing such as lingerie, evening gowns, and blouses, especially garments with a bias cut.

[3] Polyester charmeuse has characteristics that are undesirable for sewing, including a tendency to pucker at the seams[4] and fraying during cutting and handling.

The luster and delicate hand make charmeuse suited to lingerie, flowing evening gowns, and draped blouses.

Because the fabric does not hold a shape well and tends to cling and hang against the body, it is not used for full, flared skirts.

Its uses in menswear include the lining of jackets and slacks, handkerchiefs, ties, and underwear such as charmeuse boxer shorts.

Charmeuse is also the required material for the outer layer of Olympic competition ski jumper suits.
