Crepe is a type of silk or wool treated in such a way, that it crinkles or crimps. I was at Nordstrom the other day and saw a dress made of it. Expensive because of the silk, but interesting as a dress. Then I saw a similar dress on Shopbop. That was made out of 100% silk crepe.

If I saw something I liked I would buy it.

The only Eileen Fisher item in my wardrobe is a pair of black crepe pants I scored at Nordstrom Rack. Best pants I have ever owned. I will have them for years to come.
Of all my many, many pairs of black pants, if I could have just one pair, the EF crepe would be it, no need to give it a second thought.

How do you care for it? Hand wash?

I love the hand of crepe (wool or silk and now some synthetics). Years ago I made a white wool crepe suit that draped beautifully and wore like iron...until the dry cleaners threw it in with something they shouldn't have and ruined it.

@songbird : I believe the pants are poly crepe, so machine wash, hang to dry.
I also have an Isaac stretch poly crepe dress. Love the fabric!

Apparently Crepe is usually made from silk, wool or synthetic fabric. I looked it up. That dress is over $300.00, But a lot of it was because of the slik. Loved the dress, but I can't swing the price now. I tell you one thing, I'm buying more and more natural fibers now. Very expensive, but worth it. They seem to last longer then poly stuff. I already have my eye on two tops that are 100% Linen. I'll have to iron but they are gorgeous. It started with premium jeans. Now I'm looking more and more of skirts/dressus made from natura fibers.

@queendiva I have 3 pairs of Eileen Fisher crepe pants and love them. Wish her newer items had the quality of those crepe pants that I have had for years. EF quality has gone way down from the time of those pants.

Years ago I was a professional dressmaker. My specialty was gowns and cocktail dresses. One of the most beautiful gowns I ever made was for a MOTB. It was silk crepe and silk chiffon, full-length with long sleeves. It had such a gorgeous drape and the light just danced off of the fabric so nicely. Beautiful fabric.
