Word #1

Word: CHARMEUSE
Sentence: Charmeuse (pronounced shar-MOOSE) is a washable, man-made, silk-like fabric. Unlike silk, charmeuse does not have to be dry cleaned...making it a practical substitute for silk in some of today's easy-care lingerie. A couple of short minutes in a warm drier will remove any wrinkles.
Definition: A satin-finished silk fabric; a fine semilustrous crepe in satin weave
Part of speech: noun
My Sentence: The onlookers watched in awe as she made her way down the aisle in her modern dress made of fine charmeuse.
