Colour:
This subtly reflective silky sapphire blue velour with a super soft, velvety malleable handle that begs to be draped, twisted, knotted and tucked.
Properties:
Boasting excellent widthwise stretch with a bounce-back return, it has a firm but less pronounced 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.
