What makes this suedette so special

It's this heavy, double-sided brushed quality that sets this fabric apart from ordinary faux suede. Both sides of the fabric are equally soft and velvety finished, so you really don't have a "wrong" side. That means you're free in how you lay out the fabric when cutting and sewing, and seams or hems will never show a less attractive side. For garments where the inside is sometimes visible, like in hems, collar points or reversible designs, this is a real game-changer. This fabric falls into the category of heavy suede fabric double-sided brushed, for exactly this reason.
