Crepe Fabrics

Crepe fabrics are typically lightweight and woven using twisted fibres which give a characteristic "pebbly" look and handle. Though we do offer some heavy weight crepes that have a divine drape and handle. Crepe is an on trend fabric in bridal currently and the matte finish and drapey handle is particularly sought after. #extra WHY CREPE FABRIC? Crepe fabric is much loved for its matte texture and drapey handle. The name comes from the French term "crêpe," which refers to the fabric's characteristic wrinkled surface. This texture is achieved through a specific processing technique that includes highly twisted yarns and special finishing methods. Crepe is particularly loved for its fluidity and softness while maintaining a certain structure. These qualities make it an ideal choice for wedding dresses, where a fabric that offers elegant draping is required. Thanks to its natural fall and ability to gently follow the body's shapes, crepe is perfect for creating refined and sinuous silhouettes. Crepe fabric is available in different versions: silk crepe , which offers a luxurious and soft finish; polyester crepe , a more affordable yet equally versatile choice; and eco-friendly versions made with sustainable yarns. These varieties allow designers to find the ideal solution for every type of project, balancing quality, cost, and sustainability.
