Help describing this fabric please.

Hello and Merry Christmas to those celebrating. I am getting ready to list this dress and am hung up on how to describe the fabric. It is very lightweight and iridescent and textured. It tests as rayon, but has the look of ???shantung?? Should I say that or just let the photos do the talking? Thanks in advance for your help

It is like an irridescent Shantung, but to my eye, it looks like a Thai Silk.

Lovely frock.

Thank you! I assumed it would not be real silk. The fabric burns quickly with very little ash and the ember glows so I think it is rayon made to look like silk. which I guess is what I will say in the description. It was hard to capture the color correctly too in the photos.
