Sweet crêpes are generally made with wheat flour (farine de blé). When sweet, they can be eaten as part of breakfast or as a dessert.

A crepe is a classic French dish made from a simple batter of flour, eggs, and milk. Crepes are similar to pancakes, but they are not made with a leavener—like the baking powder and baking soda used in pancakes—which results in a thinner batter and delicate crepes.

Aside from its characteristic wrinkled look, crepe material fabric usually has a beautiful drape. The thinness of the fabric makes it very breezy and breathable; plus, it doesn't feel heavy on the skin. Though this is great for wicking moisture, it also means that crepe doesn't retain heat very well.

In my opinion, crepe fabric is well suited for any garment that requires a flowing, drapey fabric. This means that blouses, skirts, and dresses all look great sewn with crepe fabric. Crepe is an ideal fabric for the Highlands Wrap Dress.
