Quick Answer
Scuba or Crepe for Modest Fashion?
In short: Crepe knit (230-240 gsm) gives a soft, fluid drape with a matte, wrinkle-hiding crinkled surface — ideal for flowing abayas, tunics and dresses. Scuba (230-240 gsm) and the firmer Dalgıç/neoprene (260-270 gsm) hold their shape for structured pieces like blazers and wrap dresses. Both are fully opaque and need no lining or ironing — practical advantages for modest fashion lines. All produced 100% polyester, MOQ 50 kg, in Zeytinburnu, Istanbul.

FAQ
Scuba & Crepe for Modest Fashion — Common Questions
What fabric is best for abayas and modest dresses — scuba or crepe?
Crepe knit (Zara Crep, 230-240 gsm) gives a soft, fluid drape with a matte, wrinkle-hiding crinkled surface — ideal for flowing abayas, tunics and dresses. Scuba (230-240 gsm) and the firmer Dalgıç/neoprene (260-270 gsm) hold their shape for structured pieces like blazers, wrap dresses and modest skirts. Both are opaque and need no lining.
Is scuba fabric opaque enough for modest fashion?
Yes. Scuba's double-knit structure with a thin foam-like middle layer makes it fully opaque even in light colors — a key requirement for modest fashion garments, and it needs no separate lining.
What is the minimum order quantity for scuba or crepe fabric?
Our MOQ is 50 kg per color for both scuba/dalgıç and crepe fabric. Stock colors ship in 2-5 business days; custom Pantone/RAL dyeing takes 10-15 business days.
Does crepe fabric need ironing?
No. The fine crinkled crepe texture inherently hides wrinkles, making it low-maintenance for both the wearer and for garment production — a practical advantage for modest fashion lines shipped internationally.
Do you export scuba and crepe fabric to the Gulf and MENA region?
Yes. We supply modest fashion brands across the Gulf, MENA and Türkiye, alongside our EU and global export network of 50+ countries.
