And i was mostly thinking about hot weather and polyester, you can die of heat in that, but for winter use, it would be ok. If we can stand one more "thread" on fibers/fabrics--not all manmade/synthetic fabrics are the same, either. Those curtains might very well have been rayon, or a rayon/acetate blend. I've seen home decorating ribbed fabrics made of these fibers. And rayon, of course, being cellulose, like cotton, won't make you swelter. If fact, it absorbs moisture even better than cotton, hence the fact that it also wrinkles like crazy. Acetate, though, being chemically modified cellulose, is not as comfy in hot humid weather. Many synthetic satins and taffetas are also made out of acetate, although polyester seems to be gaining ground.
