This is a SUCH a cool velvet! At first glance, it looks black. Then, when the light hits it, it's a deep dark red. In fact, it's both! The backing is a wine color, and the pile is black, so when you move, you are like an aurora in motion! With wonderful drape, and lots of stretch, it's bound to be a hit in your wardrobe. This will make a fabulous dress, top, leggings, or skirt.
Please note - I recommend pre-washing this separately before sewing.
