Remnant (1.5m) - This item is non-returnable/non-refundable.
135cm wide luxurious 100% silk crepe de chine in grey, 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.
