An exceptional Nadya Toto designer deadstock velvet dévoré jersey in timeless black. This lightweight stretch knit combines plush velvet motifs with sheer areas of jersey, creating a dramatic tonal design that changes beautifully with the light.

The dévoré technique creates areas of contrasting opacity and texture across the surface. Rich black velvet motifs rise against a fine semi-sheer ground, producing a sophisticated play between matte transparency and the soft lustre of velvet. The abstract design gives the fabric an elevated, contemporary appearance while remaining entirely monochromatic.

At only 120 gsm, this fabric is considerably lighter and more fluid than a traditional velvet. Its jersey construction and generous 10% elastane content provide stretch and flexibility, making it particularly well suited to fitted, draped and body-skimming garments.

The combination of transparency and opaque velvet creates beautiful dimension when worn. Depending on the desired effect, the fabric can be used over a lining or underlayer for additional coverage, or strategically incorporated into a garment to highlight its semi-sheer areas.

The fabric's fluid drape makes it especially effective for ruching, gathering and other details that allow the velvet surface to catch the light from different angles. It is an excellent choice for eveningwear and statement garments where texture can take centre stage.

Sourced from Montréal designer Nadya Toto, this genuine designer deadstock textile is available only in limited quantities and may not be restocked once sold out.

Care

Due to the delicate velvet pile, semi-sheer ground and high elastane content, we recommend gentle care. Hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent or use a very gentle machine cycle if appropriate. Do not bleach. Avoid wringing or twisting. Lay flat to dry and avoid high heat. Do not press directly onto the velvet surface. Always test your preferred washing and pressing method on a small swatch first.

FAQ

What is velvet dévoré?
Velvet dévoré, also known as burnout velvet, is a fabric in which selected areas of the velvet pile are removed to create a pattern. This produces a distinctive contrast between plush velvet motifs and more transparent areas of the base fabric.

Is this fabric sheer?
Partially. The velvet motifs are more opaque, while the areas between them are semi-sheer. A lining or underlayer may be desirable depending on the garment.

Does this fabric stretch?
Yes. This is a jersey knit containing 10% elastane, giving it significant flexibility. We recommend testing the actual stretch percentage before choosing a sewing pattern that specifies a minimum amount of stretch.

Is this fabric suitable for dresses?
Yes. Its lightweight construction, fluid drape and stretch make it particularly well suited to fitted, ruched, draped and evening dresses.

What does designer deadstock mean?
Designer deadstock consists of unused fabric remaining from a designer's inventory or fashion production. Quantities are limited, and the same textile may not be available again once sold out.
