Retro Floral Printed Silk Heavy Crepe, Printed Italian Silk Fabric

Silk is commonly referred to as the queen of textiles, and it has always occupied pride of place in the textile world ever since it was discovered nearly 5000 years ago in ancient China. There is a wide range of silk fabrics, such as silk chiffon, silk organza, silk georgette, silk charmeuse, silk crepe de chine, silk dupioni, silk brocade, silk embroidery, silk velvet, and silk mixed / silk blended fabrics, etc. What makes silk so attractive, apart from its strength and beauty, is the various forms into which it can be transformed.

Silk fabric's absorbency makes it comfortable to wear in warm weather and while active. Its low conductivity keeps warm air close to the skin during cold weather. It is often used for clothing such as shirts, blouses, formal dresses, high fashion clothes, lining, lingerie, pajamas, robes, dress suits, sun dresses, evening dresses, wedding gowns, ties, scarves and folk costumes. Silk's attractive lustre and drape makes it suitable for many furnishing applications. It is used for upholstery, wall coverings, window treatments (if blended with another fiber), rugs, bedding and wall hangings.
