There is something about the delicate rustle of silk shantung that makes it feel just a bit more special. The sound hearkens back centuries to ladies in silk gowns, their skirts brushing together on the ballroom floor. However, it doesn't have to be worn in a dressy way – in fact, it would be fabulous worn as a Liberty Shirt with a pair of jeans. Worn dressy or casual, you can luxuriate in the soft crinkle of the crisp fabric, pretending you are flouncing around in grand skirts, even if you are just picking up groceries.

Silk shantung is similar to silk dupioni, but has a smoother hand, with fewer slubs. This fabric is black and has no stretch. It is suitable for shirts, jackets, skirts, pants, and dresses.
