Customer Reviews
I was surprised at the quality at the price. Lovely and soft, and a good amount of stretch.
It is a deep red with a lovely shine.
This is so beautiful ! Lovely rich colours and beautiful to cut and sew with. Not too heavy either (velour not velvet) so has that luxury look but without the weight. Drapes nicely.
