notes: label: Description
content: A length of piece dyed silk "Kameo Krepe" (Mallinson trade name) in gray. Closely woven crepe fabric similar in construction to crepe de chine. The H.R. Mallinson company was well known for introducing new textures and weave effects in its product line. These were the 'novelties' as opposed to fabrics such as Pussy Willow and Indestructible Voile, which were the company's staple products and remained in the line for years, even decades. This solid-color fabric coordinates with print colors used in the Mallinson National Park series of printed dress silks.
