Description
Velvet has a dense, short pile that reflects light differently by direction — hence its typical sheen. At 145 cm wide its weight per square metre is 280 g/m². It is woven from 8 % elastane and 92 % polyester.
Burgundy is the colour for anything festive and for anything allowed to stand out in daily life. The cut edge frays; on thin goods a French seam is the cleanest answer. A sample answers more questions about handle and drape than any description. Before cutting, a look at the care symbols on the article pays off.
What Samt Burgundi "Kelz" von Swafing is suitable for
- summer dresses
- sheers and light curtains
- occasion wear

Frequently asked questions
How do I wash it?
Cool and gentle. Viscose loses strength when wet and shrinks more readily than cotton. Before cutting, wash it once the way the finished piece will be washed.
Do I need a lining?
On thin, pale goods often yes — otherwise the garment is see-through. A light lining or a slip solves it without destroying the drape. A second piece of the same fabric will do as well, if the colour matches.
How much fabric do I need?
More for draping cuts than for straight ones: a dress with fullness needs the fabric its folds are made of. On repeat prints allow extra waste.
The fabric slips while cutting — what helps?
Lay it flat rather than over a table edge, weigh it down and cut with a rotary cutter. Pins leave holes in fine goods; clips at the edge are the better choice.
