Russet - Silky Stretch Velour; is a stunning molten copper/rust tone with serious style. It is perfect for statement-occasion wear and is equally great for high fashion, costume and glamorous attire. This versatile fabric will work whether your style is boho, 1970's or glamorous!
This subtly reflective silky velour has a super soft, velvety malleable handle that begs to be draped, twisted, knotted and tucked. Boasting an excellent widthwise stretch with a bounce-back return, it has a slight stretch to the length as well. This fabric is slinky, yet has a reassuring medium-weight handle when used in good quantity, making it perfect for glamorous evening dresses.
Why not add some extra drama by making draped and knotted styles with a wrap front? However, this wonder isn't just for glamorous dresses! We're seeing a definite 90's fashion revival, where velours are fashioned into practical yet 'stand out' slip dresses. Baby doll styles, which you can wear like tunics, are both practical and luxurious. Think simple roll neck tops and t-shirt styles - perfect for teaming with your favourite jeans. This super stretchy wonder will make easy no-zip dresses. Try skater styles, fit and flare or simple tube dresses and skirts.

Customer Reviews
I bought this to create a velvet infinity dress for an October wedding. The bride was very specific about the colour and I thought it would be difficult to find a local shop that could fulfil the order - not so!
This fabric was reasonably priced (comparable to "shipping in from China" prices) and the package arrived the very next day. It's a really soft and drapey velour which is great as there's sometimes a risk of stretch velvet/velour looking cheap, especially buying online. Also, it arrived well-folded with no awkward rolls and tucks (which is a risk with stretch velvet as you can't iron it flat).
Thank you Fabworks, I always trust you when it's time to buy fabric for my occasionwear! I'm looking forward to sewing with it.
