Brocade is one of the most sumptuous fabrics used in the world of dressmaking. It can be composed of silk, polyester or a silk blend. It first emerged in Asia and was produced in Namjing Province in China. Brocade fabric was mainly used for making imperial garments and therefore was seen as a regal, elegant luxurious fabric. The weaving of this sumptuous fabric sometimes incorporated gold threads or fine embroidery. It arrived in France around 1600 and became an important part of the textile industry in Europe.
