Velvet. Velvet is a soft, luxurious fabric that is characterized by a dense pile of evenly cut fibers that have a smooth

nap. Velvet has a beautiful drape and a unique soft and shiny appearance due to the characteristics of the short pile fibers.

Velvet fabric is popular for evening wear and dresses for special occasions, as the polyester oxford fabric was

initially made from silk. Cotton, linen, wool, mohair, and synthetic fibers can also be used to make velvet, making velvet

less expensive and incorporated into daily-wear clothes. Velvet is also a fixture of home decor, where it’s used as

upholstery fabric, curtains, pillows, and more.
