A top-notch designer wool crepe that has all the usual qualities of fine wool crepe. Lightly textured, malleable, and has good resistance to creases. Woven from fine crimped yarn in a super close weave that resembles herringbone/basket, this brilliant fabric that never dates can be used for womenswear and menswear. This little gem came from a company that made garments for top high street ladies wear designers that sell 'little black dresses' for hundreds of pounds.
Wool crepe of this quality is hard to find because it is so versatile; its redeeming qualities of temperature-regulating warmth, excellent drape, good stability and resistance to creases, along with being black, means that not only is it highly sought after but there are a plethora of things you will want to make.
Garment Suggestions:
Choose figure-skimming sheath dresses, shift dresses, '40s styles with feminine gathered details like puffed sleeves and under-bust details, and neat pinafore dresses perfect for timeless workwear, ideally teamed with a white shirt.
For something a little different, shirt dresses and '70s style peasant dresses with frilled, tiered skirts will look striking by adding colourful braids and embroidery for an uplifting contrast to the stark black. If dresses and skirts aren't for you, Sorceress will also make the most stylish pleat-fronted trousers with a matching blazer too.
