The material called "cerlin" in-universe has different names in the real world. Trisha Biggar, the costume designer for the prequel trilogy, explained in Dressing a Galaxy: The Costumes of Star Wars that the sleeves for the dark purple traveling dress were made of a double layer of shot-silk chiffon satin. In the traveling exhibit Rebel, Jedi, Princess, Queen: Star Wars and the Power of Costume, which ran from 2015 to 2018, the placard for Apailana's costume indicated that her cloak was made of silk with a pattern burned out using a devoré technique.
