Description

Rich, confident red makes this polyester and elastane crepe a proper statement fabric. The surface has that characteristic fine crepe texture, giving it a soft matt appearance rather than anything overly shiny, while the elastane adds comfortable give. At approximately 248gsm, it has a lovely amount of body and hangs particularly well, as you can see on the mannequin, falling into smooth, substantial folds without looking stiff.

This weight opens up plenty of possibilities. It would make gorgeous dresses, jumpsuits, skirts and wide-leg trousers, but there is enough body here for soft tailoring, jackets and matching separates too. The strong red does much of the talking, so even a relatively simple pattern could look rather spectacular. Particularly good for occasionwear when you want drama without sequins getting involved.

Care & washing

Allow 2-10% shrinkage to be on the safe side. Wash the fabric before making up, in the same way you'll wash the finished make, drying methods included, so it settles once rather than after it's sewn.

Test a sample area first to find the most suitable way to wash it. We can't accept liability for fabrics washed or treated incorrectly.
