Riopele Çeramica Crepe Suiting Black

Please note this is a true black but I have shown it in some light to make the crepe weave visible. Form flattering, easy care, wrinkle resistant, breathable, and UV protected. This lovely soft crepe is just the right combination of body and drape to slide over curves. This has some body, a medium weight suiting a little on the heavier side. Perfect for career wear type fitted dresses and slacks or think outside the box and it makes a great transition from work at home sweats to next level casual professional. For pants a side zip will be nice, any gathered elastic will be too bulky and not suitable for pressed front slack pleats. It’s good to have 5 yards on hand, it is designer surplus from the Portuguese mill Riopele so once it is gone it is gone. This price is at or below wholesale especially when considering taxes and import duties. You can find more info on their proprietary Çeramica line here. Available in 3 colors, rotal, black, and ivory. There is a little stretch to it, this stretches with the grainline so you may consider cutting on the crossgrain especially for pants. Swatches available. Sold by the yard or in 5 yard lengths for a discount. Swatches available.
