Sunset Coral Triple Crepe Dress Fabric

Coral is the colour of a warm evening, and it looks fantastic on lots of skin tones. This triple crepe is bold without being harsh, so a whole dress in it feels glowing and confident.

What triple crepe does well

Triple crepe is a favourite for good reason. It drapes beautifully and has a soft texture, and it holds its shape, so a seam, a pleat or a gathered waist stays crisp all day. It’s durable too, and it’s comfortable to wear, which makes it a dependable fabric for special occasions and for everyday outfits.

What to make

• Dresses: flowing midi and maxi dresses, wrap dresses and occasion dresses
• Blouses: relaxed shirts, tie-neck blouses and camisoles
• Trousers: tailored and wide-leg styles
• Skirts: gathered, pleated and bias-cut styles

The generous width leaves plenty of room to cut, so full skirts and long dresses are easy to lay out.

Good to know

It suits seasoned dressmakers and beginners alike, because the weight and the body make it easier to handle than slippier fabrics.

Sewing tips:

• Wash gently before cutting, to check how it behaves
• Choose a fine, sharp needle and a medium stitch length
• Neaten seams to stop fraying, with French seams, an overlocker, a zigzag stitch or bias binding
• Press on a low heat from the reverse, with a pressing cloth if you have one
• Test your iron on a scrap first, as polyester can melt if the heat is too high
