100% Silk 3-ply Crepe Fabric, Charcoal Gray

$42.00

100% Silk Crepe fabric, a 3-ply weight (36 mm), Charcoal Gray. Matte.

The case for for 3 ply silk crepe is obvious for formal wear. It takes time to persuade people to use it semi formal to causal wear – so let’s make some points.

It does take a bit more care than a blend, true. Its breathable, temperature regulating and comfortable on the skin – that means it will keep you cool in the summer, warmer in the winter. Its universal in occasion – formal to casual wear all around. Its elegant (of course) and the durability is there.

Cut it on the bias and you basically have a stretch (even though 100% silk), line it with Cotton/Poly batiste and you have yourself a little more stability.

You can make the simple of simple and you’ll look elevated.

Easy pattern choices for silk crepe in the form of a top/blouse, tunic, skirt or dresses. A few that we wanted to emphasize.

CALVIN WRAP DRESS from True Bias, it would be a legend of the summer!
