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.
Soft, understated and effortlessly elegant, this silk crepe de chine comes in a versatile nude shade that works beautifully across every season. Woven from 100% silk at 16 momme (70gsm), it offers that sought-after balance between lightness and durability, with a fluid drape and subtle texture that feels luxurious without being overly delicate.
Unlike shinier silk satins, crepe de chine has a soft matte finish and a gently pebbled surface that gives garments beautiful movement while helping them hold their shape. It's one of the most versatile silk fabrics for dressmaking, equally suited to relaxed wide-leg trousers and fluid shirts as it is to feminine dresses with gathers, ruffles and flowing sleeves. This is limited deadstock fabric, so once it's gone, it won't be repeated.
