If you’re looking for a luxurious fabric with a warm feel, Royal French velvet oker is a beautiful choice for your next project. This softly draping velvet has a rich, elegant sheen and a deep plain colour that instantly lifts any make. Woven from 100% polyester rather than cotton, it falls smoothly and feels wonderfully soft. With a practical width of 140 cm and a substantial weight of 275 g/m², you get a versatile, high-quality dressmaking fabric.

Create beautiful projects with velvet

A special feature of this fabric is its velvety pile, which lets you create striking effects. For the best result, cut and sew all pieces in the same direction: with the pile running upwards, you’ll achieve a warm, intense shade, while the pile running down gives a slightly softer, lighter look. The fabric has a TVI softness of 3/5, which means it drapes nicely in folds while still holding enough shape. Because it is not stretchy, it is also easy and stable to sew on the machine.

Thanks to these qualities, this fabric works beautifully across a wide range of projects, from elegant clothing to stylish home décor. Make a statement blazer, a festive evening dress or a smart coat for colder days. It is also ideal for interiors, such as luxurious curtains or decorative cushions. Even for an eye-catching cosplay costume, this fabric gives you just the right touch of glamour.
