Choose the right GSM and velvet type

What is GSM
GSM is fabric weight. Higher GSM = fuller look and more structure.

• 160–180 GSM Micro Velvet 9000: soft handfeel, smooth fall

  • Best for blouses, kurtis, lehengas, dupattas, deity vastra

• Stretch Velvet: body hugging comfort

  • Best for fitted dresses, co ord sets, blouses

• Crushed or Embossed Velvet: textured shine

  • Best for party dresses, jackets, backdrops

• Embroidered Velvet: zari, resham accents

  • Best for bridal wear, sherwani sets, festive borders

• Holland or Curtain Grade Velvet: higher GSM

  • Best for drapes, heavy backdrops, singhasan covers

Price guide India friendly

• Plain micro velvet and blends: typically ₹100–₹300 per meter with us

• Premium embroidery, digital prints, or very high GSM will price higher than plain varieties

• We share shade cards; ask for same dye lot for a perfect match across pieces

Custom velvet vs readymade the simple math

Kurti set example

• Fabric 2.5 m at ₹200 = ₹500

• Dupatta 2.5 m at ₹200 = ₹500

• Stitching ₹1000–₹1500

• Handwork ₹500–₹800
  Total ≈ ₹2500–₹2800 vs typical readymade ₹4000–₹8000
  Plus you get perfect fit and your color design choice.

Tailor brief that saves time and prevents mistakes

• Keep nap direction same on all panels to avoid shade difference

• Lining: satin or cotton for comfort and to protect the pile

• Pressing: use steam only from reverse or through a press cloth (no direct iron)

• Machine settings: slightly longer stitch length, reduced presser foot pressure

• Closures: concealed zip, hooks, or loop buttons as per design

• Edges: add piping or facing; overlock all raw edges to reduce lint

Velvet color play for Indian wardrobes

• Saree blouses: maroon, emerald, royal blue, black, wine

• Kurtis and gowns: teal, burgundy, mauve, olive

• Lehenga sets: deep jewel tones with zari borders

• Dupattas: contrast velvet or lighter fabric to balance weight

Care that keeps the shine intact

• Steam do not iron directly on the pile

• Gentle hand wash for most synthetic blends; dry clean for embroidered pieces

• Dry flat or hang away from direct sun

• Store on padded hangers or fold with tissue to prevent crushing
