CUT VELVET


Generally we associate velvet as a heavy-weight napped fabric, that great conductor of warmth ideal for winter wedding gowns.  The cut velvet seen here is a different story.  Backed with chiffon so that it drapes makes it an ideal fabric for any season.  Patterns can vary from florals to paisleys--stripes to polka dots.  All these pieces including the draped cocktail hat are vintage-inspired.  Fashion forward creations would also be great candidates for cut velvet . . .
