Charmeuse from the French word for female charmer, is a medium too lightweight fabric woven with a satin weave, in which the warp threads cross over four or more of the backing (weft) threads.

These float threads give the front of the fabric a smooth, shiny finish, whereas the back has a dull finish. Charmeuse differs from plain satin in that charmeuse has a different ratio of float (face) threads, and is of a lighter weight.
