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.
Shiny lurex silk crepe is a fluid and refined fabric, prized for its supple drape and subtle sheen. Unlike classic matte crepe, this version is enriched with lurex threads that give it a luminous effect, perfect for adding a sophisticated and glamorous touch to your creations.
This orange/gold crepe combines the natural softness of silk with the strength and durability of polyester. Lightweight, it offers beautiful fluidity while delicately capturing the light thanks to its shiny appearance.
Ideal for making evening dresses, elegant blouses, airy skirts, flowing pants, stage outfits, or festive pieces, it is also suitable for bold couture creations and refined decorative details.
Silk crepe made in France.
