Crepe A silk, wool, or synthetic fiber fabric with a distinctively crisp, crimped appearance. Commercially they are distinguished as single, double, three-ply and four-ply crapes, according to the nature of the yarn used in their manufacture. They are almost exclusively dyed black and used in mourning dress, and among Roman Catholic communities for nuns' veils, etc. |
