Identifying a fabric

[Vmode]

Hi guys,

I've come accross this fabric a few times but never know if it has a proper name- it's a kind of crisp voile, with raised velveteen flocking..
Also, is there a name for these kind of sheer dresses, that need to be worn with slips?

Many thanks!

I dont know if there is really a specific name for the fabric. I think it is what you have described; a flocked voile

From the VFG Fabric Resource

Flocked Fabric

Flock is the name given to very short fibers, either from fabric-making waste or created from rags. A flocked fabric is one on which flocking has been applied with an adhesive, either all over or in a pattern. A common flocked print is dotted swiss. Any fabric weight can be used.
