Jade Crushed Velvet Fabric by the Yard - 60/62in Wide Stretch Velvet

Our review of this jade crushed velvet by the yard finds it best suited for sewists and home decorators who want a rich, textured fabric with reliable drape. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a luxurious crushed surface and a substantial feel - at 250 GSM and a 60/62in width this fabric gives garments and soft furnishings an opulent look without being fragile. It is a stretch blend intended for evening wear, cushions, and drapery where a soft hand and visible sheen matter.

Key Features

• Crushed finish: The short, raised naps are pressed in varied directions to create a distinctive crushed look that reflects light for a subtle sheen.
• Generous width: At 60/62in wide the fabric is wide enough for gowns, curtains, or large upholstery panels with fewer seams.
• Weight and drape: The 250 GSM and about 0.6mm thickness give a medium to heavyweight feel that falls with an elegant drape for apparel and soft furnishings.
• Stretch blend: The 90% polyester and 10% spandex weave provides noticeable vertical stretch for comfortable fitted garments and easier shaping.
• Durability: The pile-style weave and polyester content mean the fabric is wrinkle-resistant and holds up to regular use and laundering better than delicate velvets.
• Available lengths: Sold by the yard or in larger 30 or 50-yard rolls to suit single projects or bulk needs.

Who It's For

This crushed velvet is for sewists, costume makers, and interior decorators who need a soft, shimmering fabric with some give for fitted silhouettes, drapes, or cushion covers. The wide width and weight make it a practical choice for evening gowns, jackets, shawls, curtains, and table covers where a luxurious appearance is important.

Those who should look elsewhere include beginners who need a very stable, non-stretch fabric for precise pattern work, or upholsterers seeking heavy-duty commercial upholstery fabric; some users describe the material as thinner or very stretchy, which can complicate sewing for inexperienced hands.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this fabric suitable for upholstery?
The fabric works well for light-use upholstery like decorative cushions and slipcovers but is not a heavy commercial upholstery cloth for high-wear seating.

How much stretch does it have?
The blend provides noticeable vertical stretch (around 20%), which helps fitted garments but can make sewing more challenging without stabilizing techniques.

Can it be machine washed?
Because it is a polyester blend and wrinkle-resistant, light machine washing on a gentle cycle is possible, but always test a scrap and follow any care guidance to preserve the pile and elasticity.
