g/ml or g/m²: how to convert a fabric’s weight
g/ml tells you what the metre you buy weighs, g/m² what the fabric itself weighs. The formula, a table by width, and when to look at which.
Crepe de Chine is a silk fabric originally made in Lyon with the aim of imitating Chinese silk crepe. The technique used in the manufacture of this fabric makes it particularly luminous.
This 100% silk royal blue crepe de Chine is 50% heavier than our classic crepe de Chine. It will be perfect for making your dresses, linens and accessories such as scarves, squares or pocket squares.
Crepe de Chine made in Italy.
