I remember my costume prof in college showing us a Fortuny silk dress. It was permanantly pleated and you could ball it up and it would still be in pleats ages later. When it first came out, it was a big deal and the process was a closely guarded secret (according to my teacher).

If you mean crinkle silk, I think it's currently in style for gypsy skirts--you might try just making a skirt(s) or trading with someone who wants a crinkle skirt. I believe that for a good crinkle silk a chemical process is involved, but don't know the details.
