New Black Neoprene Fabric Crepe Top

The New Black Neoprene Crepe Stretch Knit fabric is a stretch knit fabric that stands out for its beautiful drape, body and ability to add volume to finished garments. Its elegant plain black colour is a basic staple in the world of fashion, perfect for creating sophisticated, versatile and timeless garments. An ideal choice for both party outfits and smart ensembles, as well as everyday wear.

This fabric, also known as scuba crepe, features two distinct sides: one with a crepe texture and the other with a slightly satin-finish finish, allowing you to play with different visual effects and finishes within a single garment.

Its composition of 95% polyester and 5% elastane provides stretch and comfort, whilst its weight of 285 gsm gives the necessary body to create garments with structure, movement and a drapey look. Thanks to its width of 165 cm, it is very practical for making up both fitted designs and voluminous garments.

Style ideas: black party dresses, fitted dresses, pencil skirts, flared skirts, structured jackets, smart trousers and two-piece outfits. Its versatility makes it an excellent choice for making up everything from an elegant cocktail dress to wardrobe staples that never go out of fashion.

Sewing tip: use a stretch needle or ballpoint needle in thickness 75/11 or 80/12 and a stretch stitch to preserve the fabric’s stretch. To avoid unwanted marks and shine on the black fabric, it is recommended to iron on reverse, at a low temperature and with a protective cloth, having first carried out a test on a scrap of fabric.
