Regal Red is a rich and regal red / wine shade with some serious style. It is perfect for festive statement-occasion dresses and is equally great for high fashion, costume and glamorous attire. This versatile fabric will work whether your style is grungy, party, period or glam!
Properties:
This is a subtle reflective and silky velour with a stunning, 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 good 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.
Garment Suggestions:
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. Super cosy pyjamas would be great.
Need some glamorous and comfy trousers? Make some dramatic palazzo pants from our excellent Silky Stretch Velour. Keep them super simple and just put in an elasticated waist! Need a quick and simple jacket? This versatile fabric is ideal for kimono jackets, shrugs and opera coat styles to name but a few. Take on the luxe loungewear trend and create matching hoodies and jogger pants for a statement style worthy of any top fashionista! Create '70s vibes with chevron stripes in contrasting colourways, there is a huge range to choose from.

Customer Reviews
Lovely colour and drape. Sews very nicely. Very happy with results, and it's not as 'heavy' as it looks, which is always a bonus with velvet (and menopause).
P4P gala gown (to be ironed...) and excuse the vest on Bertha (she's old and tatty).
