FABRIC INFO

This fabric is a light weight crepe satin fabric. It is a beautiful drapey fabric which can be used to create lots of different garment types for a more formal garment.

This fabric is a soft crepe satin fabric with a light weight drape that has little structure and has lots of flow and movement to it. It has a structure that will cause the fabric to drape around the body. It has a sheen to the fabric which is perfect for a garment for a special occasion. It works well across most our designs with a lining but would work especially well with our skirt and dress garments due to it’s beautiful sheen and more delicate nature – see “our recommendations” tab

If you would like more help from our team whilst designing your garment please contact us by messaging us on Instagram, emailing us at info@theemperorsoldclothes.co.uk or send us a message via live chat and we will get back to you.

WASHING INSTRUCTIONS

This fabric is machine washable. With all our machine washable fabrics we recommend washing your garments at 30 degrees or less. We do not recommend tumble drying them as this can shrink the fabric and lessens the life span of your clothes.
