Double Qiao silk and crepe de chine silk are both high-quality silk fabrics. Their differences mainly lie in the production process and fabric characteristics.
First of all, the production process of Shuangqiao silk is relatively complicated and requires multiple processing and treatments. This kind of fabric uses two weft threads interwoven to form a mesh structure similar to a “X” shape, so it is called “Double Qiao” (double weft interwoven). This structure makes the fabric have good elasticity and toughness, and its surface is flat and smooth, and it feels soft and comfortable, making it very suitable for making high-end clothes and household items.
In comparison, the production process of crepe de chine silk is relatively simple. This kind of fabric uses a weft thread and a warp thread interwoven to form a structure similar to a “T” shape, so it is called “crepe de chine” (double weft and warp interwoven). This structure makes the fabric thinner and more breathable, but also softer and lighter, with better breathability and moisture absorption. Crepe de chine silk is often used to make summer clothing, beach skirts, scarves and other lightweight clothing.
In addition, the colors and patterns of Shuangqiao silk and crepe de chine silk are also different. Double Qiao silk usually uses large areas of solid colors or simple patterns, while crepe de chine silk uses more techniques such as printing and embroidery to present a more colorful effect.
In short, although Shuangqiao silk and crepe de chine silk are both high-quality silk fabrics, their production processes and fabric characteristics are different. Different costumes and uses. When choosing, you should make your choice based on your own needs and preferences.
