This controversial material has got us all talking...

It started when we saw Peaches Geldof stepping out in a red velvet dress. Since then, the likes of Topshop and H&M have been trying to convince us that it's the best thing since sliced bread - the must-have fabric.

This season, we're all for sequins, fake fur, lace and leather, but when it comes to this slinky material, we're completely torn! However, Topshop are giving it to us in every form from bodies to jackets...

Seeing as we can't seem to make our minds up, maybe you can help out. Come on sugarscapers, you know how it works, tell us - is velvet trend or tragic?

Comments please!
