CREPE
Crêpe is a fabric with a characteristic finely grained, slightly rough surface, created either by highly twisted yarn or by a special crêpe weave. Thanks to this 'crinkled' texture, crêpe barely creases, holds its shape well and at the same time drapes softly, falling in even, weighty folds. It is made from silk, wool, viscose or synthetics. Crêpe is a favourite for dresses, tailoring and eveningwear because it looks quietly expensive and flatters the figure. Its matte surface gives no harsh highlights, and its moderate weight suits several seasons.
