What is crush velvet fabric?
Crush velvet is a type of velvet fabric that has been processed to create a multi-directional, crushed texture. This gives the fabric a rich, dimensional appearance that catches light differently at different angles — making it one of the most visually luxurious choices for event draping and backdrop installations.
What size backdrop system do I need for these velvet panels?
These panels are 15 feet tall and 52 inches wide. For a full covered backdrop, most decorators use 3 to 5 panels across a standard 8-foot to 10-foot wide backdrop system. They fit all configurations of The Posh Backdrop System and standard pipe and drape setups.
Can I layer velvet panels with other fabric types?
Yes. Crush velvet panels are a popular base layer in double and triple draping setups. A common combination is a navy or black velvet base panel with a gold sequin mesh or champagne chiffon overlay for a glamorous, layered effect.
Do these velvet panels wrinkle?
Crush velvet has natural crinkle from its finish, which is part of the look. For storage and transport, roll the panels rather than folding them to minimize creasing. Light steaming can smooth any deep folds before an event.
Are these the same velvet panels used in The Posh Academy training?
Yes. These crush velvet panels are featured in The Draping Queen Precious Stevens' installations and taught inside the RTB (Road to Business) draping curriculum.
