Sateen

[1] It is a cotton or other non-silk fabric that has the characteristics of silk satin but is less expensive.

[2] Some sateen is mercerized, a chemical process that makes fibers softer, smoother, and more resilient.

[5] Unlike its silk counterpart, cotton sateen is easy to maintain since it is machine washable.

[6] For garments made of sateen, follow the recommended laundering instructions.

It has a variety of uses, from bedsheets[2] to drapery lining[3] and other home decor, to clothing such as dresses, skirts, jackets, and more.
