Velveteen fabric by the yard is a short-pile, cotton-based velvet alternative known for its matte sheen, soft touch, and structured body. Typically ranging from 180gsm to 300gsm, it offers a plush surface without the fluid drape of true velvet, making it ideal for garments that need shape and stability. Velveteen is commonly woven from cotton or cotton–polyester blends, giving it a comfortable, breathable feel with reliable durability for apparel and craft projects.
















Velveteen fabric by the yard is ideal for tailored dresses, jackets, and pants where a velvety look is desired with more structure than standard velvet. Its short pile resists crushing better than plush velvets, making it a favorite for children’s clothing and high-use costumes. In accessories and décor, velveteen adds rich texture to handbags, pillows, and craft pieces while maintaining durability and ease of handling.
Velveteen is woven using a dense cotton pile weave, producing a soft, suede-like feel with a subtle sheen. Unlike silk or polyester velvet, velveteen has a heavier, more stable hand, supporting crisp silhouettes and tailored lines. Cotton fibers offer breathability and comfort, while blended versions improve wrinkle resistance and longevity. Available in deep, saturated colors, velveteen provides a refined yet practical option for fashion, costume design, and decorative projects.
