Elastic Velvet Fabric

Elastic velvet is high-quality, made of very flexible material. It hugs the body without constricting, which allows freedom of movement. The opaque material is pleasant, soft and smooth to the touch. The surface reflects light, velvet plays with different shades of one color from light to dark.

Usage: You can use the fabric to make tracksuits, dance costumes, tunics and evening dresses. It is also suitable for home textiles.

We have tried: This material is smooth, flowing, very pleasant to the touch. We tried to wash the velvet to the recommended temperature - it did not shrink, it dries quickly and there is no need to iron it, but if you want, we recommend ironing it only on the reverse side to a low temperature or with steam. When cutting, it is good to lay all the parts in one direction (velvet looks different from each side, depending on how light falls on the hair). The edges do not fray. The seamstresses from our sewing workshop have prepared a simple comparison of different types of velvet for you.
