2 meanings of creped

Practice

  1. 1
    verb
    Simple past and past participle of crepe.

    She creped the mourning hall in heavy black drapery.

    The actor creped his beard to look decades older.

    Note

    The past adds only -d, because crepe already ends in a silent e, and one spelling serves both the simple past and the participle. Every use of the verb takes an object: a hall creped in black, paper creped to look like crepe paper, hair creped into a frizz. That is why the participle so often turns up in passives, and before a noun it shades into the "wrinkled" adjective.

  2. 2
    adjective
    Having a surface marked by small, crinkly wrinkles.

    Like the pebbled surface of crepe fabric, covered in fine, regular crinkles.

    The dress was made from a soft, creped material that fell in gentle ripples.
