Velvet skirts

Once things from a fabric such as velveteen, could not afford all. But these times have sunk into oblivion, and now almost everyone has clothes from this popular fabric, regardless of gender, age, financial situation and occupation.

Velveteen is a dense fabric that is comfortable in the cool season. It is made of cotton, so wearing it is comfortable and pleasant, it practically does not crease. For this reason, this material can be regarded as one of the best for sewing skirts.

Corduroy is the most diverse in texture. For example, velveteen cord is a fabric with scars about 5 mm wide, skirts from it look very harmoniously in retro style. A corduroy with scars up to 3 mm and a low pile looks very dense, although it is made of thin yarn - in such skirts it is very difficult to freeze in winter. But the elastic velvet stretch, and the velvet with the effect of scuffing is ideal for tight skirts, for example, the pencil model. They can be smooth and fleecy, plain or embossed with a volumetric pattern.

Today, velveteen is produced in completely different colors. But, since this fabric is beautiful in itself due to its various textures, it is mainly restrained in tone and without prints.

In general, skirts made of this material have a lot of advantages - they are not wrinkled or easily soiled, they are very cozy and warm. And, despite the fact that velveteen is a rather dense material, it adds a special charm and femininity to the look.

Corduroy skirt can be of completely different styles - tight mini and straight “pencil”, elegant tulip skirts and feminine godet. Even a sun skirt can be sewn from this fabric, but not too dense so as not to make the model heavier.

Light summer clothes do not fit a velvet skirt, as texture contrast is too noticeable. But if you can pick up the top from material similar to velveteen, such a union is welcome.

They look good with warm sweaters from cashmere, blouses from dense fabric, plain turtlenecks from knitwear. When choosing a product you need to be extremely careful - if the skirt does not fit the figure, then due to its density it will visually add a couple of extra pounds to you.

A velvet mini skirt is a great option for fashionistas who are not afraid to freeze in the winter. The length will allow you to demonstrate slender legs, and the dense texture of the velveteen will warm in cold weather.

To decide to put on a short skirt, you need to be sure that there are no extra pounds - since velveteen itself is very voluminous material and will necessarily visually add a couple of centimeters in girth.

In this length, velvet skirts are relevant in any style, because This fabric holds its shape perfectly.

For example, a dark pencil-colored velvet stretch pencil skirt is ideal for the office. In combination with a strict light-colored blouse sewn from thick cotton, it will create an interesting business bow in which you will be comfortable both indoors and outdoors in the cool season.

A velvet skirt on the floor is ideal for fall and winter. Due to its length, such a skirt becomes a universal model for almost any type of figure. The exception is only very low girls.

With a straight cut of a skirt, a warm sweater made of wool or cashmere will be very relevant. Simple shoes without heels will look great on their feet, and a large suspension will be suitable as an accessory.

When freedom and creativity are intertwined, the most daring and feminine images, free from cliches and rules, appear from seemingly absolutely incompatible things. Flight of fancy does not limit the combination of clothes, shoes and accessories. And in this style, namely in its classical direction, velvet skirts found their place.

In combination with them, a diverse decor in the form of a fringe or lace will be appropriate, different colors and prints are applicable. Natural fabrics prevail. It is important to create a light feminine image that will go against the current trends in fashion.

For all its charm, a corduroy skirt has one significant drawback - in order for it to last a long time, it needs to be seriously looked after. Since velveteen is a natural fabric, after washing it can significantly get hooked. Therefore, you need to wash it at a temperature of no more than 30 degrees, in the manual wash mode without spinning. If possible, replace the detergent with gel.

After washing, squeeze the skirt and dry it by hanging it away from the radiators. It is desirable to iron the skirt slightly undersized, from the wrong side. And ideally, use a steamer.
