VELVET
Dictionary of Science, Literature and Art · 1854 · p. 34
A rich kind of stuff, extensively used for ladies' dre es and a variety of other purposes. Of velvet there are properly only two kinds, that with a plain, and that with a tweeled, or, as it is also called, a Genoa ground or back. When the material is silk, it is called velvet; when cotton, velveteen. The latter is a species of fustian, which, under a variety of names, is largely used for men's wearing apparel. [s. 1311]
