Description
Velvet has a dense, short pile that reflects light differently by direction — hence its typical sheen. The fabric comes 140 cm wide and brings 300 g/m² to the scale. Its composition reads 100 % polyester.
Cream/Black is the colour you take when nothing should shout. It carries pattern without drawing attention itself. An animal print is a pattern with recognition value: it carries a piece on its own, with no further design. The cut edge frays; on thin goods a French seam is the cleanest answer.
What Velvet Leopard in Cream/Black is suitable for
- sheers and light curtains
- occasion wear
- kimonos

Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
