Vintage Velvet Dresses
Dresses made of velvet material are a definite retro luxury item.
Velvet is a woven fabric that has a short dense pile that gives it the distinctive soft feel. Ideally made of silk fibers, it can also come from cotton or synthetic (polyester, nylon, etc.) sources as well.
People first wove velvet fabric back in the 14th century but it was very expensive and only affordable to kings and the very wealthy.
