Antique satin: which feature describes its back?

• A. Back is fashion side
• B. DrapeS well
• C. Uses: drapery, bridal
• D. Warp-faced satin weave

Answer: (A)

Antique satin is described by which side is meant to be shown. In this fabric, the back is the fashion side—the surface intended to be seen on the finished garment. This reflects how the weave and finishing create the desired appearance on the reverse, making the back the prominent surface. The other statements talk about drape, typical uses, or the weave structure in general, but they don’t specify which side carries the fashion look, so they don’t capture what distinguishes antique satin.
