Description
Stretch Velvet fabric is a thick, soft, and stretchy textile made from a calculated 90% polyester and 10% spandex blend. Designed to stretch up to 20% vertically, this material offers both comfort and flexibility. Produced using a face-to-face technique, two fabric layers are connected with an overlapping pile, then precisely cut down the middle—resulting in two separate fabrics, each with a smooth back and a plush, luxurious face. Stretch Velvet measures 60/61 inches in width, is 0.65 millimeters thick, has a heavy 330 GSM, and weighs approximately 18 ounces per linear yard.
Compared to other stretch velvets, this fabric features a denser construction and superior durability. It boasts an abrasion resistance of 10,000 double rubs and a high colorfastness rating of 4.5—meaning it resists fading and color transfer, even in medium-traffic settings.
Use Stretch Velvet fabric to create luxurious apparel and stylish home décor. Perfect for crafting gowns, dresses, jackets, skirts, and performance costumes, this plush fabric also adds a touch of sophistication to upholstery projects. Sew elegant draperies, table covers, throw pillows, and event backdrops with ease.
