Crepe de chine is a lightweight, luxurious silk fabric known for its subtle pebbled texture and fluid drape. Crepe de chine is often used in the fashion industry for blouses, dresses, and elegant evening wear due to its softness against the skin and ability to hold vibrant colours well. Its breathability makes it suitable for various climates, while its natural sheen provides a sophisticated finish, enhancing both casual and formal designs. This fabric typically has a weight of around 6 to 8 ounces per yard, striking a balance between delicacy and structure, making it a favoured choice for designers seeking an elegant look.
