Medium weight silk crepe-de-chine is an ideal fabric for making camisoles, tops, shirts, as well as summer dresses. It has a lustrous and even texture with excellent drape. This structure is achieved by using tightly twisted weft yarns woven across the warps. Silk crepe-de-chine is relatively easy to sew and does not have a problem with fraying or slipping. It is our fabric of choice for the printing of dress material.
