小知识
Taffeta is a smooth, shiny fabric that's used to make formal dresses and fancy curtains. You were thrilled to be chosen as the maid of honor in your best friend's wedding until you learned you'd have to wear a poofy, lime-green taffeta bridesmaid dress.
Some taffeta is very stiff—wide-skirted ball gowns, formal prom dresses, and wedding dresses are commonly made from this type of taffeta. Sometimes it's softer, like the taffeta that is used in linings of dresses or draperies. The most expensive taffeta is made from silk. The word taffeta comes from the Persian taftah, “silk or linen cloth,” and its root, taftan, “to twist or spin.”
