What kind of fabric is this?

Our pink satin-backed crepe fabric is is a beautiful-quality polyester crepe with a distinctive satin reverse. It can be used with either side as the right side – or even using both sides as a form of contrast within the same garment. It has the weight of a heavier dress fabric or a medium-weight suiting depending on your perspective.

What does this fabric feel like?

The face of our rose pink satin-backed crepe fabric has a clearly-discernible but typically refined crepe finish which has a rounded texture without any sense of roughness. It’s is backed with a gleaming matt satin finish offering a myriad of silvered pink tones which is smooth and fluid to the touch. It is comfortable to wear and soft next to the skin.

Will I need to line this fabric?

These satin-backed crepe fabrics have excellent opacity for their weight. A top, dress or tunic wouldn’t need lining although you may wish to do so if your pattern requires a close fit or structure. The satin reverse means that it moves freely against the body although you might wish to opt for a half-slip for added ease of movement or if you’re using the crepe face on the inside.

What can I make with this fabric?

Dresses, skirts, trousers, suits; tops and tunics are all options for this pink satin-backed crepe fabric; we think it’s an immensely versatile and elegant cloth. Pastel satin suits are quite the thing at the moment – you could take a look at a deslgn such as the ‘McKenzie’ Blazer from Style Arc – which has matching trousers too.
