As the curtain rises on our Mood Exclusive Pink Synchronized Snapdragon Metallic Dotted Crinkled Viscose Crepe, arrangements of petals and leaves dance across a creamy pink stage. The crinkled face, decorated with rows of metallic gold dots, 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 is perfect for all climates; create airy skirts, a-line sundresses, workday blouses, and more! Slightly transparent—a lining may be desired.

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!
