for ecstasy sub-trend we chose fabrics like crinkled velvet , cotton jacquard, sand washed silk which is suitable to construct garment for party wear & evening wear. sandwashed silk. This is the process of washing a fabric with silicone balls, or treating with a Soda Ash fixer in order to remove any residual stiffness and to reconstitute the hand-feel. This means that the fabric becomes extra soft and less susceptible to shrinkage. It also tends to lessen the sheen of the silk; a subtle difference that I love about sandwashing. And, since it has undergone this process, a sandwashed silk garment can be washed and dried normally with all of your regular clothes, so no need for extra special care. 

Crinkled Velvet Fabric is produced by mechanically twisting and crushing the material whilst still wet, resulting in a lustrous, patterned appearance. it is a luxurious fabric which is not only aesthetically pleasing but is beautiful to the touch. acquard fabric features a raised pattern that is woven (instead of printed) onto the fabric. Popular jacquard designs include damasks, florals, and geometrics. This textured fabric has varying drape-ability and durability depending on the fibers used.
