Velvet dresses is a kind of woven tufted fabric in which the cut threads are distributed in an even manner thus giving a very soft and smooth feel. Velvet fabric is traditionally made with silk, in which cotton is used only occasionally.

The medieval poet – Ziryab introduced Velvet to the Al-Andalus Empire(parts of modern day Spain, Portugal, Gibralter, Andorra and France). During the Mamluk Sultanate era (1250-1517 A.D.), the city of Cairo was largest producer of Velvet.
