Snakey Brown & Cream Silk Crepe de Chine

This 100% silk crepe de chine is a lovely mix of russet, golden brown, rich cream and black, with a marvelously complex design. The stripped print is a ferocious melange of 4 1/4" wide dark and light print stripes.......which together convey the look of snakeskin or feathers. This silk is equally perfect for a classic 1980s-style floppy bow-tied blouse, or the lining for a faux fur evening jacket. 45" wide.
