Velvet is a plush fabric that is loved my most women globally. There is a royal aura associated with the velvet fabric. This fabric remains crease-free and drapes amazingly. In India, this fabric frequented the royal treasury and was used to make the garments of both kings and queens. It was revered alongside muslins and was considered as worthy, if not more. 

The Importance of Velvet Sarees 

When you think of a rich saree, the name of velvet is bound to pop up in your mind. These sarees simply look fabulous. However, India is a tropical country, and the velvet fabric is not ideally suitable for the Indian Summers. But if you want a saree for winter, then nothing can be better than a highly embellished velvet saree. 

If you take into account the ethnic fashion scenario in our country, you will find a number of divas adorning the plush fabric of velvet. Latest designer sarees are mostly either velvet or net. Velvet lost its popularity in the 90s, but after 2010, it is back with a bang and is here to stay. 

From the charming Anushka to sensuous Rekha, every B-town diva loves velvet sarees. Various models who walk the ramp look fantabulous in the latest designer sarees in velvet. 

These sarees have an exquisite air. They do not need much effort in being draped. Another added advantage of wearing a velvet saree is that, as they have an inherent sheen, you will not have to wear much jewellery. Just add a pair of ear-studs, dab some lipstick on, and you will look like a beauty from the ethereal realm.
