Red natural velvet by the yard

100% natural cotton velvet for DIY historical costume

Dense, natural, rich, and soft to the touch - this 100% natural cotton velvet is an outstanding medieval costume fabric, be it the principal material or just the accents of contrasting texture. Its pile is short and easy to work with while cutting, sewing and decorating your handmade medieval attire. There is a feature that we'd like to point your attention to: the pile of this historical fabric is aligned with the horizontal weft thread and not with the vertical warp thread. Please keep it in mind when transferring the details of the pattern to the fabric as it may have an impact on the final look of your project. 

Why after so many years of selling medieval costumes and fantasy garbs we add a historical fabric section in our store? Because when you have an opportunity to observe the natural fabrics market from such a close distance for more than 20 years, you see the trends. As prices increase, the number of players in the industry ready to stick to the initial path of "natural fabrics only" declines inevitably. Step by step they shift towards more affordable synthetic materials. We are committed to producing exclusive dresses with generously wide skirts made of 100% natural velvet, linen, cotton or wool. And we want to keep prices in our store stable for as long as we can. And here comes a solution that helps both our creative customers, used to high-quality historical fabrics, and our own production - by increasing the amount of natural cotton velvet we order from our suppliers, we get better rates. Not to mention the fact that every single yard helps us keep moving and keep our team busy.

Please note: If your order contains more than one yard of this red velvet fabric, it will be sent to you as one piece. We only sell costume fabric by the yard, no fractions. 

Please contact us if you have any additional questions.
