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:
As dark and mesmerising as its precious gem namesake, Seriously Sapphire - Dress Crepe is super smart, chic and a classic alternative to black that will add depth 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:
Seriously Sapphire 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 Seriously Sapphire alongside beautiful coordinating floral counterparts: Rose Garden Promise - Dress Crepe, Midnight Prelude (Black) - Dress Crepe, Midnight Prelude (Navy) - Dress Crepe
For a more muted look, use this solid colour alongside its counterparts: Ecstatic Emerald - Dress Crepe and Ruby Red - Dress Crepe.
Ideal for creating flowing dresses, tops, pull-on pants/skirts, kaftans, shirts, jumpsuits and resort wear.
