    Hey Joseph,
    Well it looks closer to a hot pink than a fuscia to me. Keep in mind photo’s on line can be deceptive as to shade. As for the Silk and Satin, well…

    Silk is a fabric in and of itself and come’s in a lot o differing finishes and grades. Satin is a finishing technique that creates a certain drape and shine that can be done to silk, cotton, linen, polyester, etc. I think you get the idea. This particular garment is most likely a polyester satin as it is usually the fall back for garments of this type because they are not as expensive as silk. That is my best guess based on the photo. Hope that helps.
