Milan POPPY - 16mm Mulberry Silk Crepe De Chine

Milan – 100% Mulberry Silk Crepe De Chine | 16mm | 137cm Wide

Milan is a premium 16 momme mulberry silk crepe de chine, prized by dressmakers and designers for its fine crepe texture and exceptional drape. Unlike glossy silk satin, Milan is delustred with a soft, matte-leaning finish, giving it a refined, understated sheen rather than high shine. This subtle surface texture is created by the fabric's tightly twisted crepe yarns, which also give Milan its signature "bounce" — a lovely fluid movement that makes it float and skim over the body beautifully.

Woven from 100% mulberry silk, Milan offers the natural breathability, softness, and lightweight handle that silk crepe de chine is loved for, while holding just enough structure to tailor beautifully. It's an ideal choice for flowing blouses, tailored shirts, elegant dresses, wide-leg trousers, and eveningwear where a soft, sophisticated drape is essential. The delustred finish also makes Milan a versatile option for those wanting the luxury of silk without the shine of a traditional satin.

At 16mm weight, Milan sits in that sweet spot between lightweight and substantial — light enough for effortless draping, with enough body to sew and wear with confidence. A timeless, versatile silk for the discerning home sewer.
