I am selling this dress on eBay and when I first picked it up I would have sworn it was silk... the washed silk with a sheen, but it is in fact rayon.

I cannot remember what this is called, anyone?

Hard to say without touching it -- charmeuse? Does it have a puddled appearance on the fabric -- could be moiré...
