Crepe is known for its grainy, pebbled surface and fluid drape. The texture comes from highly twisted yarns or a special weave, and it helps the fabric resist creasing.
Common crepe types
- American crepe: smooth, slightly heavier and opaque, popular for dresses and kurtas.
- Moss crepe: a soft, spongy texture with a matte look.
- Stretch crepe: contains spandex for fitted trousers, dresses and co-ords.
- Georgette crepe: lighter and more sheer, close to georgette in feel.
Fibres
Polyester crepe is durable and easy to care for. Viscose crepe has a softer, cooler feel and a richer drape.
