PS..SORRY THERE ARE WHAT LOOK LIKE WHITE FLECKS ON THE FABRIC. IT IS ACTUALLY DUST WHICH IS INVISIBLE TO THE NAKED EYE, BUT WHICH GET LIT UP BY THE FLASH WHEN THE PICTURE IS TAKEN. This is a magnificent Blended Silk Velvet Designer Fabric, woven in France by one the Best Mills in Europe. This fabric is a blend of Silk and a little Poly which endows the silk with great durability, yet is absolutely indistinguishable from 100% silk velvet.. This fabric is ideal for making upholstery of all sorts, and especially upholstery that will get a lot of use.....it will still look new even after many years of use, Bedding, Drapery, Pillows & so much more. If you have never had anything made of silk velvet before, you really owe yourself a treat. If there was a graph for softness, it would be at the very tip top, and this particular fabric, because it is a blend, also has far greater durability than pure silk velvet. Make something wonderful and enjoy watching your friends drool when they see your home. Our price is at least five times less per yard for this fabric than if purchased through a designer/decorator. We have brought the price way down for our customers to buy and enjoy, without breaking the bank. Make something fabulous! PLEASE NOTE: THIS FABRIC MUST BE PURCHASED WITH A 4 YARD MINIMUM, AND DELIVERS IN 2-3 WEEKS
