Our softly-draping rose pink crepe fabric is a thoroughly classy cloth; another addition to our range of colourways of a particularly lovely crepe. In a glowing shade of rose pink, it doesn’t lean towards blue or orange. It’s a sunny shade of rose pink, reminiscent of a blooming garden in June. It’s ready to take centre stage in your wardrobe as a perennial classic in its own right or as the perfect complement to toning prints and textures.
What kind of fabric is this?
Although a much less substantial fabric than our triple crepes, this pink crepe fabric has the slightly-textured handle you’d expect from a crepe fabric. It’s a lighter-weight but nonetheless highly versatile and practical fabric. We’d describe it as a medium-weight dress fabric.
What does this fabric feel like?
Although it has the classic slightly-textured crepe feel that you’d expect, the overall impression of this fabric is of a very smooth, cool and elegant cloth.
How does this fabric move?
Our rose pink crepe fabric is a very fluid, rippling fabric that falls into heaps of rounded folds. However it has some substance and swings with great liveliness as you can see from this video.
Will I need to line this fabric?
This is a very closely-woven crepe fabric which therefore has very good opacity for its weight. Although you might consider a slip or a lining for movement against hosiery or for structure – you wouldn’t require it for purposes of modesty. It’s very smooth and comfortable next to the skin.
What can I make with this fabric?
Trousers, dresses, skirts and tops are all options for this most versatile of fabrics. However we’ve lately fallen in love with jumpsuits as you’ll know from recent blog posts. We’d definitely consider this pink crepe fabric as a candidate for a pattern such as the ‘Carly’ Jumpsuit from Style Arc. We think the drape of this fabric is perfect for it – light enough for cross-season wear and classy enough to take you through to the evening, too.
You can see other jumpsuit pattern options on our Jumpsuit Sewing Patterns Pinterest Board.
We’ve also used it to create a version of the ‘Ogden’ Cami by True / Bias, where it excelled in luxury, making a potentially flimsy garment seem substantial and very special.
Whatever your taste however, this is a fabric that would stand you in good stead season after season – one worth adding to your stash even if you’re not quite sure what you might do with it right away (if we may be so bold).
