Velvets & Suede

Browse velvet, velour and suede-style fabrics for dressmaking, eveningwear, costumes, jackets, skirts, dresses and accessories. Velvet adds softness, depth and a luxurious finish, making it a beautiful choice for partywear, winter dresses, tops and special occasion garments. Suede and mock-suede fabrics can work well for jackets, skirts, trims, bags and statement pieces.

These fabrics often have a nap, meaning the direction of the pile affects the colour and finish. Cut all pattern pieces in the same direction for a professional result. Pair with suitable needles, matching thread and lining where needed.
