Crepe de Chine 80gsm

Crepe de Chine 80gsm

Fine, lightweight, smooth and sophisticated fabric.

Our crepe de Chine is a 100% polyester fabric with an incredibly smooth finish and soft hand. Crepe de Chine is a popular choice for lightweight clothing such as dresses, lining, lingerie, underwear and scarves.

The fabric is made from tightly twisted yarn which gives it a soft hand and fluid drape. The surface has a slight sheen giving it a luxurious look and feel.

The base colour is white, and your designs are printed using dye sublimation. This process of printing fabric gives the fabric excellent colour reproduction and wash fastness.

Please note that prints are likely to be off grain.

Garments

The main requirements when making garments from our fabric are related to labelling

The following are relevant standards for garments:
