Polyester Crepe Fabric – Alessia – Atelier 27

This garment fabric is a crepe made from 98% polyester and 2% elastane. Designed by independent Atelier 27, it features the floral Alessia print in a palette of ivory, plum, olive, and red. The crepe construction gives it a fine crepe texture, and it drapes fluidly with light stretch, allowing it to move easily with the body, making it suitable for tops, dresses, and other garments that benefit from movement.

The hand is soft with a fine crepe texture. It falls smoothly away from the body without clinging, offering fluid movement while the added elastane provides gentle flexibility. The fabric remains stable enough to handle during sewing while maintaining its fluid drape. It is created and printed in France.

Sold by the half meter.
