Velvet
Soft pile cloth
Velvet is a fabric with a soft, dense pile that feels luxurious to the touch.
The pile creates a distinctive sheen that shifts with light and movement.
Velvet appears in formal clothing, upholstery, and curtains: a velvet gown, velvet drapes.
Figuratively, velvet describes anything similarly smooth or soft: a velvet voice, the velvet darkness.
An iron fist in a velvet glove conceals harshness beneath gentleness.
