Silk Crepe de Chine - 16 Momme - Charcoal

135cm wide luxurious 100% silk crepe de chine in charcoal blue, woven at 16 momme (70gsm) for the perfect balance of lightness and durability. With its soft matte surface, fluid drape, and subtle lustre, this fabric feels effortless to wear yet holds its shape beautifully.

Crepe de chine is one of the most versatile silk bases for day-to-evening wear. Effortlessly elegant yet practical, it has a lightweight drape that’s strengthened by its matte, slightly textured surface. Perfect for achieving a relaxed, modern look with wide-leg trousers and fluid shirts, or for a more romantic style with fluted sleeves, ruffles, and soft gathers.

Limited stock available – once it’s gone, it’s gone.

For best results, dry clean or hand wash very cool and really carefully with delicate washing detergent and without twisting.

Do not tumble dry

Usage ideas:

• Fashion (adults & kids): dresses, trousers, shirts, skirts, tops
• Accessories: scarves, hair scrunchies
• Homeware: lightweight curtains, lampshades

Sewing tips:

• Use a fine Microtex/sharp needle (size 60/8 or 70/10) for the cleanest stitch.
• A fine silk or polyester thread works best.
• Consider using French seams or a narrow rolled hem to preserve the delicate finish.

Best linings:

• For breathability and lightness: silk habotai or cotton lawn.
• For a more structured drape: silk satin or cupro/bemberg lining.
• For dresses: choose a lining close in weight to avoid bulk but still give support.
