This is not the velvet you are looking for...

Just an FYI I ordered a few swatches from Mood Fabrics in New York City recently and it was mostly because of the width, not the cost (because the cost was WAY higher than most places I found).
I was REALLY hoping that this stuff would be what I wanted:
But alas...it wasn't. The velvet is not soft at all, the backing would never allow a drape of any kind, and the fact it has a 63" width just didn't come close to mattering. The only positive thing....the color was great.
I also got a sample of this, and this. Both were not very plush and VERY shiny. Add to the fact they were $30/yard and heck no!
