Triacetate Double Weight Crepe fabric in Black. Fabric of legends; perfect transformation from elegant to casual.
Dense and supple hand with a fluid, elegant, 50″ wide, Made in Italy.
Triacetate is a high in cellulose synthetic fiber that is typically woven with the drape/feel of a silk crepe – it can, and should be used as such. We’ll make no bones about it, it’s easier to wash, less prone to wrinkles and can be sewn like a knit (even though it is technically a woven). It has all the silk characteristics without the maintenance – and thus, is one of the more popular fabrics out there today.
It is not a sustainable fiber with the exception that it will last forever (slow fashion), and it is dead stock fabric from a designer in NYC.
Pattern Suggestions:
Make a garment that will transform from elegant to casual – Tunic from Katherine Tilton – a semi fitted pull over – Butterick B6492
The LODO DRESS from True Bias would be appropriate and lovely.
The Jackie Trousers from By Hand London yes!
We also love the LISA blouse from Seam Work.
Price is per Yard.
