What to Look For
Weight and Drape
Lightweight and stretch velvet drapes beautifully for garments, while denser fabrics hold structure for furniture and window treatments.
Pile and Finish
Smooth velvet offers a classic, even sheen, while crushed velvet has a textured, shimmering look. Remember that velvet has a nap, so cut all pieces in the same direction for consistent color.
