Crepe

Crepe is a family of fabrics with a crinkled or pebbled texture created by highly twisted yarns. It drapes without clinging, resists creasing better than many smooth fabrics, and prints well.

Crepe drapes well without clinging, which makes it a reliable choice for dresses, kurtis, trousers, co-ord sets, blazers and shirts. It also takes digital prints cleanly.

Pick the weight for the job: lighter crepes for blouses and kurtis, heavier ones for trousers and structured dresses. Check the stretch if you want a fitted cut.

Most polyester-based fabrics wash well at low temperatures and dry quickly. Use a cool iron on the reverse and test a small swatch first, because finishes and prints vary between designs.

Yes, heavier crepes hold their drape and resist wrinkling, which makes them popular for trousers, co-ord sets and blazers. Look for a mid or heavy weight. See our trouser fabric collection.
