Crepe Fabric

Crepe fabric at TradeUNO — plain-weave crepe at 44 inches (1.12 m), from around Rs. 190 to Rs. 620 a metre depending on quality.

Crepe's crimped surface is what makes it work: it resists creasing, hides seam lines and falls close to the body without clinging. That combination is why it is the default for bias-cut dresses, draped gowns and everyday kurtis that need to look unironed at the end of a day.

It also dries fast, which makes it a practical monsoon and travel fabric. Boutiques, D2C labels and export houses buy here in bulk, with wholesale pricing and dispatch across India, the USA and Dubai/UAE.
