The Ultimate Guide to Velvet Suits for Women
When it comes to winter ethnic fashion, nothing rivals the timeless appeal of velvet. Historically associated with nobility and royalty, velvet has made a massive comeback in the modern Indian woman's wardrobe. At Faburra, we don't just sell clothes; we provide an experience of luxury. This comprehensive guide explores everything you need to know about our Designer Velvet Suits collection, helping you make the perfect choice for your winter wardrobe.
1. The Fabric of Royalty: Understanding Our Quality
One of the most common questions we receive is about the quality of the fabric. In the market, you will find various grades of velvet, but Faburra is committed to quality.
Micro-Velvet vs. Standard Velvet We exclusively use Premium Micro-Velvet for our suits. Unlike traditional stiff velvet which can be heavy and add unnecessary bulk to the body, micro-velvet is woven with finer fibers.
- Breathability: It provides warmth without making you feel suffocated, making it perfect for crowded wedding venues.
- Fluid Drape: It falls along your body's curves rather than standing stiff, ensuring a slimming effect which is often a concern with velvet wear.
- Durability: Our fabric is resistant to piling and maintains its rich luster even after multiple dry cleans.
2. Styles and Silhouettes in Our Collection
Our online velvet suit collection is diverse, ensuring there is a style for every personality and body shape.
A. The Classic Straight-Cut Velvet Suits
The quintessential choice for the modern woman. Our straight-cut velvet kurtas paired with matching cigarette pants or palazzos offer a structured, smart look. These are ideal for:
- Office Wear: Choose solid colors like Black, Wine, or Navy Blue with minimal neckline embroidery.
- Small Gatherings: Perfect for kitty parties or family dinners where you want to look dressed up but not effortless.
B. The Royal Velvet Anarkali Suits
For those who love drama and flair, our Velvet Anarkalis are a dream come true. The heavy fabric adds a magnificent fall to the ghera (flare) of the Anarkali.
- Styling Tip: These are best suited for taller frames or should be paired with heels to balance the volume.
- Occasion: Sangeet nights, Engagement parties, and heavy winter festivals.
C. Contemporary Velvet Palazzo & Sharara Sets
Merging comfort with trend, our velvet sharara sets are for the fashion-forward. The wide-legged bottoms provide extreme comfort, while the short velvet kurti adds a touch of chic.
-
Trend Alert: Look for our "mix-and-match" sets where a plain velvet suit is paired with a heavy Banarasi Silk Dupatta or a sheer Organza Dupatta with scalloped borders. This contrast of textures (Heavy Velvet + Light Dupatta) is the biggest trend of 2025.
3. Embellishments and Embroidery Techniques
A Faburra velvet suit is defined by its details. Our artisans employ age-old techniques to adorn these winter masterpieces:
- Zardosi Work: Using metallic threads (gold and silver) to create elaborate floral patterns. This adds significant value and weight to the suit, making it bridal-appropriate.
- Tilla Work: A Kashmiri specialty, Tilla embroidery on velvet looks exceptionally regal. The fine thread work contrasts beautifully against dark velvet bases like bottle green or maroon.
- Sequin & Bead Work: For those who prefer a bit of shimmer, our party-wear collection features subtle sequin detailing that catches the light beautifully during evening events.
- Stone Work: Precision-cut stones are hand-set into the fabric to create necklines that look like jewelry, eliminating the need for heavy necklaces.
4. Color Psychology: Choosing the Right Shade
Velvet absorbs color differently than silk or cotton, making the dyes appear deeper and richer.
- The Maroons & Reds: The color of love and weddings. A Maroon Velvet Suit is a must-have for a new bride’s winter trousseau.
- The Midnight Blues & Blacks: Colors of power and sophistication. These shades have a slimming effect and are perfect for cocktail parties or evening receptions.
- The Emerald Greens: A trending color that signifies luxury. It pairs exceptionally well with gold jewelry and fits perfectly in Mehendi or Sangeet functions.
- The Pastels: Breaking the myth that velvet is only for dark colors, Faburra introduces dusty pink, teal, and mauve velvet suits for day weddings and sophisticated brunches.
5. Styling Your Velvet Suit: A Complete Handbook
Buying the suit is just step one. Styling it correctly elevates your look from 'good' to 'showstopper'.
Jewelry Pairings
- Polki & Kundan: The richness of velvet complements the grandeur of uncut diamonds and Jadau jewelry.
- Pearls: For a softer, more elegant look (especially with black or blue velvet), opt for multi-layered pearl necklaces.
- Avoid: Stay away from cheap plastic or oxidized silver jewelry that might look stark against the luxe fabric.
Footwear & Accessories
- Since velvet is a winter fabric, avoid open sandals. Opt for embroidered Juttis or Velvet heels to maintain continuity.
- Carry a Potli bag made of silk or velvet with embroidery that matches your suit.
- Layering for Extreme Winter One of the biggest advantages of our velvet salwar kameez is the room for layering. You can easily wear thermal innerwear underneath our kurtas without it showing. For added warmth, drape a Pashmina shawl instead of the regular dupatta.
6. Care and Maintenance Guide
Velvet is luxurious, and it demands care. To ensure your Faburra suit lasts for years:
- Dry Clean Only: Never wash your velvet suit in a washing machine. Water can damage the pile and ruin the sheen.
- Steam Ironing: Never apply a hot iron directly to the velvet face. Always iron on the reverse side or, preferably, use a vertical garment steamer.
- Storage: Do not fold velvet tightly as it creates permanent crease lines. Hang your suits on padded hangers in a breathable garment bag.
- Moisture: Keep away from damp areas. If you get caught in the rain, let it air dry naturally; do not use a hairdryer.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: Is velvet suitable for day weddings? Yes, absolutely. While velvet is traditionally an evening fabric due to its sheen, our collection features lighter colors like dusty rose, olive green, and beige that look stunning for winter day weddings. We recommend choosing suits with minimal embroidery for daytime events.
Q2: Will the velvet fabric irritate my skin? Not at all. At Faburra, we line our velvet suits (especially the shirts) with soft cotton or butter-crepe lining. This ensures that the embroidery threads do not touch your skin and you remain comfortable throughout the day.
Q3: Can I wear velvet suits in seasons other than winter? Velvet is best suited for autumn and winter (November to February in India). However, for air-conditioned venues or cooler hill stations, it can be worn year-round.
Q4: What is the difference between a Velvet Suit and a Velour Suit? Velvet is woven, cut, and crushed to create a rich pile and is generally more structured and shiny. Velour is a knitted fabric which is stretchier and more casual (often used in tracksuits). Faburra only sells authentic woven Velvet ethnic wear.
Q5: How do I choose the right size for a velvet suit? Velvet has a thicker texture than cotton. We recommend buying your "true size" as per our chart, but if you prefer a looser fit for layering thermals underneath, you might consider sizing up.
Q6: What is the return policy for Faburra Velvet Collection? We offer a hassle-free 7-day return policy on all our products. If the fit isn't right or you are not satisfied with the quality, you can initiate a return from your account dashboard.
