Beckford Silk Building

Medium weight **Silk Crepe-de-Chine** is the perfect fabric for creating **camisoles**, **tops**, **shirts**, and **summer dresses**. This fabric boasts a lustrous, smooth texture with excellent drape, making it an ideal choice for both casual and dressy garments. The unique structure of crepe-de-chine is achieved by using tightly twisted weft yarns woven across the warps, giving it an even, luxurious texture.

The fabric is relatively easy to sew, making it an accessible choice for sewers of all skill levels. Unlike some delicate fabrics, silk crepe-de-chine does not have a problem with fraying or slipping, making it perfect for a range of garment types that require both style and ease of use.
