I think each of us likes to view photos in an old album. And, naturally, we look at the outfits of our grandmothers and mothers in our youth. In those days clothes were strong and of high quality. One of the fashionable materials was crepe de Chine, which to this day, is very famous and popular.
Fabric crepe - characteristics
Fabric "crepe" can be produced by several methods, in which different types are obtained, such as:
- "Crepe satin";
- "Crepe georgette";
- "Crepe de Chine";
- "Crepe chiffon."
In the manufacture of "crepe", multiple twisting of the yarns is used to the left and to the right, while the threads are intermittently intermixed, which contributes to the creation of a denser and more durable fabric. To the touch all the fabrics of the family "serfs" are rough. The threads for the production of material are taken very different: it can be cotton and woolen, and silk, and even artificial fibers. The composition of the fabric "crepe" should be consulted by a consultant or look at the label.
Whether the cloth "crepe" is strained or not - this question does not give rest to so many women. Due to the fact that the threads are twisted very tight, the fabric is dense and inelastic.
Properties of crepe cloth
The great advantage of this material is that it can be very easily draped and it does not crumple at all. The fabric that our mothers and grandmothers loved in their youth, has now become a favorite among fashion designers and tailors.
Almost all the crepe models are used in their collections not only as an independent material for the model, but also for decorating complex products.
And if earlier this cloth was sewn only dresses and suits for men and women, then today the spectrum of application of this fabric has greatly expanded. First of all, of course, it is used, as before, for tailoring. But also "crepe" is no less popular in many textile factories where bed linens are sewn . All thanks to its properties: soft, wear-resistant, does not require ironing. Some types of "crepe" are widely used in furniture factories for furniture upholstery due to a very large choice of colors, practicality and the ability to repel moisture and dust.
Although there is nothing surprising here. We can say - a natural tendency. Very many people are tired of fakes, I want this, natural, natural in everything, and even in clothes and home textiles.
"Crepe" is an ideal material. It is pleasant to the touch, does not shed, does not lose color when washing, it does not need to be ironed. High quality, durability and durability make it irreplaceable.
