Satin Fabric in Burgundy Shades
Designers often combine burgundy satin with coordinated materials from our broader satin fabric collection to create full palettes for formalwear or multi-piece outfits. For crisp, structured silhouettes, our satin twill fabric offers added body, pairing beautifully with burgundy tones for tailored garments or modern evening pieces. Burgundy satin also transitions well with warm hues from our orange satin fabric selection, especially in autumn-inspired collections or colorblocked apparel. When designers want to introduce texture, satin jacquard fabric provides woven patterns that complement burgundy’s richness. For more dimensional surface effects, hammered satin fabric pairs beautifully with burgundy satin’s contrast of shine and drape.
Burgundy satin is woven using the traditional satin weave: a lustrous, smooth front surface paired with a softer matte back. This construction maximizes shine while maintaining fluid motion, allowing garments to catch and reflect light.
Design Applications for Burgundy Satin
Evening & Special Occasion Wear
Burgundy satin is a favorite for gowns, cocktail dresses, skirts, and tailored eveningwear. Its depth and sheen make it ideal for fall and winter formal events, where rich, saturated tones elevate classic silhouettes.
Bridal & Reception Looks
Burgundy is a popular accent color for bridesmaid dresses, reception outfits, and autumn wedding palettes. Lightweight varieties offer elegant drape, while medium weights provide more structure for fitted bodices and skirts.
Accessories
Scarves, sashes, neckties, and hair accessories take on a luxurious look when cut from burgundy satin. The fabric’s glossy surface enhances both minimal and bold designs.
Home & Event Décor
Burgundy satin adds sophistication to table runners, chair sashes, drapery panels, and backdrop accents—ideal for weddings, holiday events, and upscale décor installations.
Working with Burgundy Satin Fabric
Use fine needles and smooth polyester thread to preserve the sleek finish and prevent snags. For best results, many sewists cut satin on a single layer to maintain clean lines and motif alignment (when working with prints or jacquards). Press with low heat using a press cloth to maintain the fabric’s sheen.
Most burgundy satin fabrics are woven at 54–60 inches wide, giving designers generous yardage for full skirts, drapery projects, and flowing gowns.
Selecting Your Burgundy Satin
Our collection includes multiple burgundy shades and a variety of satin weights—from fluid charmeuse to structured duchess and satin twill. Ordering swatches allows you to compare color tone, drape, and sheen before committing to full yardage. Each fabric includes care guidance to help preserve depth of color and surface luster.
