creped

Made with fine ridges

Creped describes something with a crinkled, puckered texture resembling crepe fabric or paper.

A creped surface has fine, irregular wrinkles: creped tissue paper, creped silk.

In medical contexts, creped skin has lost elasticity and developed a thin, wrinkled appearance.

The texture suggests delicacy and gathered folds.
