What's the fiber content? I need to know that before I can answer.

I lurve velvet -- particularly silk or vintage flavors. Jewel tones are the best. I own many pieces of clothing, and have made drapes, throws and swags out of the stuff. Yes my old bedroom (before the allergies kicked in) looked like a brothel.

Now I can't decorate with it as it's a dust magnet, but I still love wearing it!

Did you ever notice how hard it is to remove used chewing gum from velvet?

Love it!

I'd love a Velvet smoking jacket (but I don't smoke) a'la Willy wonka, except to pay for it, I'd need a Velvet Goldmine....

I LOVE velvet. I have a deep burgundy 1930's gown in velvet that is one of the best pieces of clothing I've ever owned. Deep colors are my favorite but a beautiful champagne color or tawny brown makes the most wonderful upholstery. If I didn't have so much pet hair to deal with, there's be lots of velvet decorating my house.

Oh, linen velvet is divine and looks better and better with age.

Velvet is definitely a turn on. It is my favorite fabric to touch. My only girlfriend back in High School wore a dark purple velvet dress when we went out on dates. Yep I love velvet!

I'm pro-velvet as it's one of those good texture fabrics. Dark colors and jewel tones seem more luminous in velvet so I think that's the way to go. I think also because of it's texture it can make a good contrast with other fabrics.

However, it's hot here right now, so velvet seems a bit oppressive for the current weather.

So any more context on how this hypothetical fabric might be deployed?

Thanks, all. I'm so confused!

My daughters think velvet is ooky. I say they're wrong. The larger implication has to do with what people want to see in a romance novel.
