Definition of Flat Crepe
US English version
Also called French Crêpe or Lingerie Crêpe but not exactly the same. It is the flattest of all the Crêpes with only a very slight pebbled or Crêpe effect hard twist alternating 25 x 22 in filling; warp has ordinary twist. It is very soft and pliable, which makes it good for draping. It is very light weight - 2 times as many ends as picks. It may be white, coloured, or printed. Most of it launders well.
Uses: Accessories, blouses, dress goods, negligees, pyjamas and other pieces of lingerie and linings.
