I'm curious as to what cotton sateen is and what does it mean when someone refers to their fabric as "Shabby"?

Thanks if anyone knows

hi
The meaning of : sateen is.... a smooth durable lustrous fabric usually made of cotton in satin weave

Now Shabby...........: clothed with worn or seedy garments <a shabby hobo>
: threadbare and faded from wear

But the way most people today use the term its a way of Style..........I would think?

But maybe someone else knows more about how its used in describing clothing.

Helen - that description would not happen to contain the word "Chic" anywhere would it? Many people are now splitting the words up in order to be included in "Shabby Chic" searches without having their auctions pulled on a VERO violation.

If it's really "common" sense, why do so few people actually have it?

Yes they say Shabby Chic in fabric auctions.

Why would Vero pull it??

Helen,
I think the gal that coined the phrase owns it & she has auctions pulled when someone else uses it.

Ya, she does own it. Just like Trump is trying to own the phrase "You're Fired". So far it's a no go on that one. Paris Hilton is out there doing the same thing. Pretty soon there will be few words left to describe anything.

classic

I can't remember exactly. I was watching a program on the subject. There were a couple of other famous rich people who were trying to cash in (so to speak) on common phrases. Ya, she's a winner, isn't she? She's now going to trademark her name and she's applied for the rights to all kinds of products from kitchen gadgets on up. Like she needs the money. Spoiled.

I imagine she's trying to get the rights to "That's Hot"... *smirk*

If you watched The Simple Life you'll know why.
