October 31, 2016 2 Comments

Velvet is a type of woven tufted fabric in which the cut threads are evenly distributed, with a short dense pile, giving it a distinctive feel. This fabric is perfect for fall because it is not only soft (and who doesn’t like to wear something soft to the touch), but stylish.
