GBSB Ep7 Inspiration: Stitching for the Dancefloor
From liquid satin and denim to metallic jersey, sequins and velvet, discover our fabric inspiration from Sewing Bee Music Week.
Timeless, versatile and effortlessly elegant, this silk crepe de chine comes in a deep navy shade that never goes out of style. Woven from 100% silk at 16 momme (70gsm), it offers the perfect balance of lightness and durability, creating garments with beautiful movement while maintaining enough body for a polished finish.
Crepe de chine is one of the most wearable silk fabrics for dressmaking. Its softly textured matte surface provides a refined alternative to silk satin, while the fluid drape makes it ideal for a wide range of styles. Perfect for dresses, blouses, skirts, wide-leg trousers and tops, navy crepe de chine transitions seamlessly from daywear to occasionwear. This is a limited deadstock fabric, so once sold through it will not be repeated.
