Crepe Fabric
Since crepe is a rather old type of fabric, it has had plenty of opportunity to evolve. Crepe is a method of producing fabric rather than a specific kind of fibre. Crepe is typically made of silk, though it can also be produced using other materials like wool, cotton, rayon, and polyester. The fabric's wrinkly, bumpy appearance is the secret to crepe. A variety of techniques can be used to obtain this look, but before the fibres are turned into cloth, they are often twisted extremely tightly.
