Properties:
African Queen has a light-medium dress weight. This woven velvet is stable width and lengthwise and has the otherwise characteristic hand of viscose, slinky, fluidly-drapey, seriously silky soft and malleable with a natural ease. Silk velvets have a similar feel to this exotic stunner and are also breathable and super comfy, therefore you have a premium quality fabric at a superb price.
Garment Suggestions:
Create a range of classic animal print apparel from this luxe viscose velvet. start with simple slip dresses and tops- drop sleeve, slash neck styles are easily made. Extend this relaxed glamour style by adding a cowl-draped neckline. Add figure-flattering ruched and gathered details to figure-skimming dresses- adjustable drawstring side splits and bandeau tops. For something a little less daring- boxy shirt dresses and tunic-style tops are ideal for wearing with a pair of black leggings or your black jeans.
There's so much you can do with this silken stunner just remember it doesn't have stretch so best suited to looser, chic draped syles.
Other Uses:
Create matching headwear, headbands, and turban wraps worthy of 'Ertha Kit', silken scarves, stoles and matching bags and purses.
