Moss Crepe
Moss crepe, also known as French crepe or crepe de Chine, is a textured, lightweight fabric known for its distinctive crinkled or puckered surface. The texture is achieved through the use of highly twisted fibers, often made from polyester, silk, or a blend that includes viscose. Moss crepe features a grainy feel, which sets it apart from smoother crepe fabrics. It combines the classic, sophisticated appearance of crepe with a unique tactile experience. The fabric’s texture not only adds visual interest but also contributes to its drape and elasticity, making it a versatile choice for various fashion applications.
