As we come into the winter months, we are always on the look out for suitable Dressmaking Fabrics that can be used in place of the lighter Dressmaking Fabrics to create fashionable yet warm garments for your winter wardrobe. One of the best Dressmaking Fabrics that can be used to achieve this is Crepe. The Crepe Dressmaking Fabrics that we have in stock here at Calico Laine are from Germany and really are one of the highest qualities of Dressmaking Fabrics around today. We also have a fabulous range of colours to choose from, so you can be sure to find the perfect shade to compliment your existing wardrobe!
The Crepe Dressmaking Fabrics that we have here at Calico Laine are 100% polyester and are often favourably used with other Dressmaking Fabrics to achieve a wide range of effects. Crepe is a Dressmaking Fabric known for the fact that it drapes fantastically when created into many different types of outfits. It is most often used as a Dressmaking Fabric for ladies clothing. The types of garments that it is perfect for are items that require a floaty yet substantial Dressmaking Fabric such as skirts and dresses. Crepe can even be used for garments such as lighter jackets or shrugs....the possibilities for using Crepe as a Dressmaking Fabric are endless!
Crepe is also popular as a Dressmaking Fabric as it is easy to work with and doesn't fray easily! When working with Crepe, as always we would recommend to use high quality Haberdashery items, all of which are also available here at Calico Laine so you can be sure to find all you need in one place!
