How the Bold Floral and Stones Are Made
Our highest-impact stone design: large floral forms in blue crystal over a vivid yellow ground.
BR-13 is an 80% viscose / 20% nylon woven velvet. The bold floral is burned first, so the petals hold solid lustrous pile and the space around them opens onto sheer ground; blue crystals are then heat-set along the petal edges over the bright yellow. Two high-contrast colours plus crystal plus openwork is a lot happening on one cloth — it works because the burn-out keeps the base from going flat.
Like the rest of the stone range, the crystals are applied after dyeing and finishing, and a new layout means building the screen and the stone template together.
Handfeel, Weight and Drape
At 170–200 GSM this is a light-to-mid velvet: heavy enough to hang in a clean column, light enough that a full-length piece does not fight the wearer. The pile is short and dense rather than plush, so the surface catches light in a narrow sheen instead of a broad bloom, and the burnout openings give the cloth a slight give across the repeat.
The base is the standard light-to-mid velvet hand, with local firmness where the crystal clusters sit. Because the floral is large, keep the stoned areas on the bodice or the sleeve head and let the skirt run plainer — that also keeps the price and the weight down.
Where Designers Use BR-13
Celebration and bridal-party. Built to be seen from across a room: the blue-on-yellow contrast plus crystal is a party register, not a quiet one.
African party dress and stage. The design reads at distance, which is what performance and celebration wear needs.
Statement separates. One stoned piece — a cape, a bodice, a wide sleeve — against a plain burnout from the same range.
Care, Finishing and Colour Fastness
Dry clean is the safest route for a finished garment. If you must wash, cold hand wash with a neutral detergent, no bleach, no enzyme wash, no tumble dry — heat collapses the pile, and the sheer areas distort before the pile does. Press on the reverse at low temperature through a cloth, never directly on the pile.
In production the two things to watch are needle marks on the sheer ground (use fine-gauge ballpoint needles) and seam grin at the burnout edge — overlock or bind the open areas rather than leaving a plain seam. Colour fastness to rubbing is grade 4 or better on the dyed grounds; test reports can travel with the swatch card.
On the rhinestone versions, add one rule: never press the stone face. Heat-set crystals are fixed at a controlled temperature and a hot iron will dull or lift them. Press from the reverse only, and specify a cool wash or dry clean with a short solvent cycle so the adhesive is not softened.
Sampling, MOQ and Lead Time
MOQ is 300 metres per colourway. Greige is held in stock, so once a colour is confirmed the lead time is about 15 working days plus shipping. This is a rhinestone programme, so price is quoted per design and stone density rather than off a list — send the colourway, quantity and the effect you want and we will come back with a costed offer. Swatch cards go out by courier: send your address and the grounds you want to see and we will quote the freight with the card. Custom colour matching to your Pantone or lab dip is available above the MOQ; custom pattern development (OEM/ODM) is quoted separately, because a burn-out screen has to be built for the new layout.

Can I order other colors or a custom pattern?
Yes, this design can be re-colored to your card and we welcome OEM/ODM custom patterns with a separate custom MOQ.
Is burnout velvet the same as devore?
Yes. Burnout, devore and devore are the same process under different trade names - a caustic paste burns away the cellulosic fibre (viscose, cotton) and leaves the synthetic fibre (nylon, polyester) standing. The sheer areas here are open cloth, not a printed illusion.
Will the sheer areas tear or ladder?
The open ground is nylon mesh, so it resists runs far better than a knitted sheer. It still needs a proper finish: fine-gauge ballpoint needles in sewing, and overlocked or bound edges rather than a plain seam.
Can it be washed at home?
Dry clean is safest for a finished garment. If you wash, cold hand wash with neutral detergent, no bleach, no enzyme wash and no tumble dry, then dry flat in shade and press on the reverse through a cloth.
