Moss crepe can use a plain or small-dobby weave. Use a fabric reference to specify the grain and drape for your garment.

Yes. We supply crepe fabric on its own, by the metre. ### How should we specify crepe fibre content? List the fibres and their percentages for the chosen crepe quality in the tech pack. ### Is crepe fabric stretchy? It can: cotton crepe can stretch. Set the stretch direction and recovery you need, and check the selected quality against them. ### How should we specify wrinkle behaviour? Set a crease-recovery requirement for the selected quality. Include the appearance required after wear and care in the sample brief. ### How should we compare crepe and satin for a garment? Compare the surface and folds of your reference swatches with the style. See [satin](/materials/satin) for satin and satin crepe. ### How do we choose between crepe, georgette and chiffon? Compare swatches against the garment's drape and coverage requirements, with the intended lining. See [georgette](/materials/georgette) and [sheer fabrics](/materials/voile) for the fabric brief.
