When talking about silk crepe de chine, people think that is a lightweight fabric made by twisting some fibers clockwise and others counterclockwise. The twisted fibers are then woven in a plain-weave fabric, but it's the twisted fibers, not the weave, that gives crepe its distinctive "pebbly" look and feel rather than a shiny luster. Both sides of the fabric look and feel the same.
Crepe
de chine is very popular because of its many characteristics, good quality and
wide range of uses. Crepe de chine is suitable for summer clothes such as
shirts and skirts.
But
today I want to introduce the heavy silk crepe fabric.
It
is a kind of thick and heavy silk with a combination of multiple warp and weft
threads and a reinforced twist of the weft threads.
Heavy
silk crepe fabric is much more suitable for wedding gowns and evening wears!
Heavy
silk crepe is much heavier than regular silk crepe de chine, judging by the
name!
Heavy
silk crepe fabric refers to a silk fabric with high momme. The characteristics
of heavy silk crepe are fine and even wrinkles on the surface, soft texture, smooth,
bright and beautiful color, good elastic, comfortable, breathable, cool, good
drape. It does not shrink after water washing. Its maintenance is easy.
The
quality of heavy silk crepe fabric is indeed higher than that of ordinary silk
fabrics, especially heavy silk crepe is not easy scratched. It is incomparable
with other silk fabrics on this specification and character!
