Woman's mourning bonnet in hard crape, c. 1880Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".

Crêpe, also spelled crepe or crape (from the French Script error: No such module "Lang".),^[1] is a silk, wool, or synthetic fiber fabric with a distinctively crisp and crimped appearance. The term "crape" typically refers to a form of the fabric associated specifically with mourning.^[2] Crêpe was also historically called "crespe" or "crisp".^[3]

It is woven of hard-spun yarn, originally silk "in the gum" (silk from which the sericin had not been removed). There traditionally have been two distinct varieties of the crêpe: soft, Canton or Oriental crêpe, and hard or crisped crêpe.^[4]
