This rich-toned crimson satin-backed crepe fabric is the latest colourway of this rather special yet versatile fabric. We adore these luxurious yet relaxed fabrics which have fabulous movement and the ability to gracefully reveal a shape underneath. Our crimson satin-backed crepe fabric is perfect for dressing up in that way – however it also has the potential for classic, elegant daywear. The face of the fabric is a rich, deep wine red, backed with a gleaming matt satin finish offering a myriad of reflected red tones.
This rich shade of crimson is delightful with rich purples and kingfisher teals as well as neutral camel, soft tobacco, charcoal and ivory. It’s a colour quite happy to work as a statement piece in its own right, too.
A classic at any time of the year, this is a fabric with ‘special occasion’ written all over it (no, not literally of course…). This is a fabric with a fabulous drape yet with plenty of structure to enable it to work for a wide range of garments. You can see how it moves and drapes in this video clip.
Dresses, skirts, trousers, suits; tops and tunics too – our crimson satin-backed crepe fabric is immensely versatile we think. Although not overly heavy in actual weight, it has good opacity and the handle and thickness of a medium-weight suiting fabric. It has a classic crepe texture on its surface, but with a somewhat smoother feel than a classic wool or triple crepe, for instance. However that’s only part of the story. Don’t dismiss the reverse side of this crimson satin-backed crepe fabric. We’ve folded it back in our images and video so you can see the delightful contrast in textures that can be achieved by using both sides of this fabric in a garment. Collars, lapels, cuffs, trimmings – all of these can be lit up using the satin side of this fabric which is slightly lighter in colour and with a fabulous lustre. In fact you could go the whole hog and use the reverse side of this fabric for your whole garment.
This BurdaStyle ‘Wide-legged pants’ pattern uses the reverse side of a similar satin-backed crepe fabric to achieve a sophisticated, luxe-yet-relaxed style.
