Printed Silk Crepe de Chine Fabric from Japan
Crepe de chine is a fine, crepe-textured woven silk fabric with printed floral patterns, made from twisted silk yarn for a pebbled surface. It classifies under HTS 5007.90.60.90 as other woven silk fabrics, as printed yarn fits colored yarn definition but doesn't match specific weave types. Popular for dresses and evening wear.
