Sunflower - Sheer Rib Silky Stretch Velour

Sunflower - Sheer Rib Silky Stretch Velour is a superb golden yellow-hued,  sheer ribbed fabric with serious style. It is perfect for subtle statement-occasion wear and is equally great for high fashion, costume and glamorous attire. This versatile fabric will work whether your style is boho, bold or glamorous! 

This subtly shimmering ribbed, silky velour (with slight translucence between the velvet ribs) 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 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. NB - Use of a Slinky Soft Touch jersey lining may be required

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 buffet style with tiers of ruffled gathers. 

 Need a quick and simple jacket? This versatile fabric is ideal for kimono jackets, shrugs and opera coat styles to name but a few. We think this shimmering stunner will make the most beautiful and elegant robe, housecoat perfect for popping on whilst relaxing in style.
