The Sewing Bee Effect
The Sewing Bee returns on 28th July 2026. Discover why the show inspires thousands of sewists every year and the fabrics we expect to see more of.
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.
