How FabStitch fits this question
How to source velvet for loungewear is a sourcing note, not a product listing and not a second marketplace. The commercial catalog stays at /marketplace/, and each named fabric keeps its own product page with composition, construction, and documented uses.
Open a fabric only when the published fields match the brief you already have. Then inquire with metres and garment context. FabStitch handles supplier sourcing after the inquiry — this page does not quote a price, invent stock, or claim a certificate the fabric page never published.
When Velvet appears in the shortlist, read that fibre's construction and weight notes before you treat two cards as interchangeable.
What to do next
Return to the marketplace and apply the narrowest filter that still matches the brief. Prefer a named fabric page over sharing a filtered URL — filtered marketplace states stay noindex.
Open two fabric pages side by side and compare only published fields: composition, construction, weight when present, and Best For uses. Leave GSM blank in the inquiry when the page does not publish it.
If the garment is fixed as loungewear, use the Best For edit for that use as the commercial entry, then inquire with quantity once the cloth is chosen.
