Crepe de Chine got its name from the French phrase for ‘crepe from China’. Some sources claim that the fabric dated back to the Imperial ages in Ancient China but rose to fame in the 1960s when it was worn on the red carpet by Hollywood stars.
It’s a soft, smooth fabric that has a matte finish and a uniquely ripple-textured surface. Traditionally, it was made from silk, however, in modern times, nylon, polyester, cotton, rayon, or acetate can also be used to create this silky cloth. Crepe de chine is a well-loved fabric for making garments due to its lightness, durability, wrinkle resistance, breathability, and luxurious feel.
