Description

Timeless, elegant and endlessly versatile, this silk crepe de chine comes in a deep black shade that belongs in every wardrobe. Woven from 100% silk at 16 momme (70gsm), it offers the perfect balance of lightness and durability, creating garments with graceful movement while retaining a refined structure and luxurious feel.

Crepe de chine is one of the most versatile silk fabrics for dressmaking. Its softly textured matte surface provides a sophisticated alternative to silk satin, making it suitable for both everyday wear and special occasions. Perfect for dresses, blouses, skirts, wide-leg trousers and tops, black crepe de chine drapes beautifully and lends itself equally well to minimalist tailoring and flowing silhouettes. This is a limited deadstock fabric, so once sold through it will not be repeated.

Care & washing

Allow 2-10% shrinkage to be on the safe side. Wash the fabric before making up, in the same way you'll wash the finished make, drying methods included, so it settles once rather than after it's sewn.

Test a sample area first to find the most suitable way to wash it. We can't accept liability for fabrics washed or treated incorrectly.
