Want to be cozy yet look glamorous? For those who want to take their festive looks up a notch, velvets are perfect. Gorgeous jewel tones and a butter-soft feel make velvets popular among designers. You won’t have to search for long if you’re looking for some intriguing Velvet Women’s Dresses.

The Rich History of Velvets

Traditionally, Velvets were produced using silk, which gave them a super soft feel. Producing velvet was no easy task, which made the fabric quite expensive. Historically, Velvet has been associated with royalty and luxury, making it a much-coveted product.

With the rise of machine looms, it became much easier to produce Velvets. To make it more accessible, synthetic fibers instead of silk were used to create modern Velvet fabric, which felt just as plush but was much less expensive.

Thanks to these modern inventions, Velvets have become readily available to all who want to welcome the colder months in style.

Adding Velvets to your wardrobe

Whether for the buttery feel or dark jewel tones, people have loved Velvets for centuries. But, the production process also plays a role in the fabric’s popularity. Velvets are quite versatile in how they look, depending on the process used to create the fabric. From crushed to stretch velvets, the fabric can create some interesting looks.

Crushed Velvet

By far, the most popular style is the crushed velvet look, which adds intrigue to the fabric. Most ethnic wear use crushed fabric to design some alluring garments. “Crushed” velvet is produced by twisting the fabric, which helps it appear shiner and adds texture.

Our dark pink Velvet Anarkali Suit mimics the crushed velvet look.

Panne Velvet

For a uniform look, you will want to look for Indian Velvet Suits that use Panne Velvet, where the pile is pushed in a single direction using heavy pressure.

Stretch Velvet

Velvet is cozy enough by itself, but some added stretch helps make it comfier. Stretch Velvet incorporates spandex to make the fabric stretchy while still keeping its beautiful shine.
