There are a number of similarities and differences between Velvet, Velour, and Velveteen.

Velveteen is the shortest of all fluff, and stiffer compared to the rest of the group. Its stiff nature causes the fabric to lay flat and does not drape well. It is somewhat similar to corduroy, and is generally less shiny and more matte, making it ideal for upholstery applications. Velveteen's piles are very short loops and the fabric does not have any stretch as it is usually woven. It can be made from cotton and wool, but wool has been an uncommon trend for this fabric over the years.

Velour is a stretchy knit with a medium-weight pile. Its loops are cut, which gives the fabric a more semi-gloss, depending on where the light hits it. Velour is very similar to Velvet but is often used for more casual clothing. It is often characterized by a drape that is smooth and malleable like velvet but with stretchy comfort. Velvet can be made of polyester or spandex, so it can be washed.

Velvet is the most luxurious, shiny, and expensive of the three! It has a high stake and is the thickest of the whole group. It is usually made from a blend of silk, rayon, or polyester. Its nap consists of long rings that can be deeper or shallower depending on which direction you push your hand. The long loops help give the fabric a smooth texture. As a braid, there is no stretch but an excellent drape. It is also usually made from filament fibers, which adds to its original reputation of using only the best fibers.
