With an awe-inspiring magnificence, our Mood Exclusive Ochre Basilica Bella Metallic Dotted Crinkled Viscose Crepe displays maroon, burnt orange, light blue, and olive green tiles; imagine craning your neck up to see this mosaic decorate a domed ceiling in Italy, in an ancient Roman building filled with silent admiration and rich history. Che bella...

The dry 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!
