Textured Polyester Crepe Jacquard Fabric combines a crepe surface with woven jacquard texture. The live HIBA specification is 97% polyester and 3% elastane, 159 GSM and 147 cm wide, made in Türkiye with opaque coverage and a soft drape.

What makes crepe jacquard different?

A plain crepe uses surface texture without a woven decorative motif. This fabric adds raised tonal jacquard interest to the crepe base, giving designers a patterned woven surface without using a separate print.

Does the 3% elastane make it a stretch jersey?

No. The composition confirms elastane is present, but this is still a woven crepe jacquard. The current structured Shopify field uses “Mechanical-stretch,” while the exact stretch direction and extension percentage have not been established as a separate measured specification. For fitted patterns, test a swatch rather than treating it as a 2-way or 4-way stretch knit.

What is 159 GSM suited to?

At 159 GSM the fabric sits in a practical midweight range. It can work for dresses, skirts, blouses, tunics and softly shaped occasionwear where you want more body than a very light crepe but do not need heavy tailoring cloth.

How should designers evaluate it?

Check the actual give and recovery, motif scale, seam finish, pressing response and drape before reducing pattern ease. Also review the woven motif direction before laying out visible front, back or sleeve panels.

Crepe jacquard or plain crepe?

Choose this jacquard when woven surface detail is part of the garment design. Choose a plain crepe when you want a quieter surface for minimal pieces, printing or embellishment.
