This deadstock silk crepe de chine is lovely and light with a subtly sheen. It has a matte, textured hand and has a beautiful drape. This fabric would work well for blouses, lined dresses, and lined skirts. This fabric is not fully opaque, so you may prefer a lining depending on the garment—silk habotai would be a great choice.
Wondering what “deadstock” means? Deadstock fabrics are left over from garment factories and textile mills. Instead of ending up in a landfill, this fabric comes to us! It can be a more sustainable option than newly manufactured fabrics and it’s a great way to get interesting garment fabrics (sometimes even designer pieces!).
