From what i have experiensed, shantung is thinner than dupioni, and shantung
also has less slopings as dupioni has.

Subject: [h-cost] difference between dupioni and shantung
Hi everyone,
I've spent the past few days searching on the internet and I've been
asking as many people as I met and still can't get the difference between
silk shantung and silk dupioni. I often ask my sister in China to buy me
some shantung, but once she gets a very fine fabric with almost no slubs
and another day she gets one with a rougher texture and more visible
slubs. I didn't know how to call these two, so I started to search for
such sorts of silk fabric that would match the two fabrics, and I got
shantung and dupioni. But alas, sources say different definitions, one
says the contrary of the other, leaving me really puzzled...
Does anyone know something about that? Pictures are really welcome...
