Introduction:

Solid-hued fabrics are just so versatile, and when brought to you in the form of a classic dress crepe there are endless possibilities; picture classic tea dresses of the '40s. This lightly textured polyester crepe is just the ticket for recreating this style and similarly bespoke designs.

Colour:

Rich ruby red, as deep and mesmerising as its precious gem namesake. Red can stir emotions, steal the limelight and add warmth to already established ensembles. Use this fabric as a stand-alone piece or combine it with similar weight patterned dress crepes, such as Midnight Prelude (Navy)Midnight Prelude (Black) and Rose Garden Promise.

Properties:

Ruby Red boasts a lightly textured finish that's perfect for easy-wear and easy-care (non-iron) dresses and so much more. This poly crepe is stable (both length and width-wise) and features a beautifully fluid drape quality. Its crease-resistant properties mean that this fabric is perfect for a multitude of loose and softly flowing styles, forming perfect gathers for floriferous frills and ruffles. 

Garment Suggestions:

Dresses and tops with soft gathers such as the Megan Nielsen Patterns - Protea Capsule Wardrobe. Create simple summer dresses, with elasticated shirred bodices and fun cropped/Gypsy tops with puffed sleeves for boho styles. Create a wonderfully retro look with a nod to the styles of Ossie Clarke and Celia Birtwell, with solid-coloured crepe panels and added ruffle details alongside the florals for a truly bohemian style.

Use Ruby Red alongside beautiful coordinating floral counterparts: Rose Garden Promise - Dress Crepe, Midnight Prelude (Black) - Dress CrepeMidnight Prelude (Navy) - Dress Crepe

For a more muted look, use this solid colour alongside its counterparts: Ecstatic Emerald - Dress Crepe and Seriously Sapphire - Dress Crepe.

Ideal for creating flowing dresses, tops, pull-on pants/skirts, kaftans, shirts, jumpsuits and resort wear.

Great customer service, and great quality fabrics

Bought this for a section for my costuming project, and the colour is true to the images shown on the listing. Very lightweight, and drapes really nicely. Thank you!
