Monstera, philodendron, and palm; the leaves on our Mood Exclusive Greenhouse Tour Metallic Dotted Crinkled Viscose Crepe offer a glimpse into the temperate atmosphere of the tropics. The crinkled face, decorated with rows of metallic gold dashes, displays the most distinguishable characteristics of a crepe: a grainy and crisp hand. A rippling drape compliments semi-casual silhouettes as its cool, medium-weight feel on the skin is perfect for all climates; create airy skirts, a-line sundresses, workday blouses, and more! As it is slightly transparent, a lining may be desired for complete opacity.

Here are a few tips from our sewists to master crepe’s unique texture:

1. Lower the thread tension on your sewing machine to prevent puckering
2. Use a new, fine point needle
3. To prevent slipping during cutting, line up your pieces with the pattern pieces, cut in single layers, and use a rotary cutter or tabletop scissors.
4. Be patient and have fun!
