🔹 Natural Crepe

• “Natural”: Indicates it’s made from natural fibers like silk, cotton, or wool, rather than synthetics like polyester.

• “Crepe”: Describes the fabric’s distinctive crinkled or pebbled texture, achieved through specific weaving techniques or by using highly twisted yarns.

• Crepe is known for:

  • A soft drape

  • Slight stretch

  • Wrinkle resistance

  • A matte finish with a subtle sheen (in silk versions)

🔹 Double Tone

• Refers to the fabric featuring two different colors or tones.

• This can be achieved through:

  • Weaving with two different colored threads (warp and weft)

  • Overdyeing or dual-tone printing

  • Sometimes the color shift is visible at different angles or in motion, giving it a shimmery or iridescent effect.

🔹 Common Uses

• Fashion: Dresses, blouses, skirts, scarves, sarees

• Luxury wear: Because of its elegant drape and sheen, it’s often used in evening or formal wear

• Interior: Occasionally for drapes or cushion covers if it’s a heavier crepe
