Burnout Velvet Fabric

🌹 Burnout Velvet Fabric
Burnout Velvet Fabric is a semi-sheer, textured velvet fabric featuring a unique pattern effect where parts of the velvet pile are removed to create a soft transparent contrast. This creates a dimensional, high-fashion look that is widely used in apparel design, boutique collections, and statement garments.
Fabric Base Inc. supplies premium Burnout Velvet Fabric from Los Angeles to fashion designers, apparel manufacturers, and wholesale fabric buyers worldwide.
🧵 What is Burnout Velvet Fabric
Burnout Velvet Fabric is created using a special chemical or heat process that selectively removes parts of the velvet pile while leaving a semi-transparent base and raised velvet design. This technique creates a contrast between sheer and plush areas, resulting in a decorative, elegant pattern effect.
It is commonly used in fashion applications where visual depth and texture are important.
