: Actually fleece is different from moleton...it's fuzzy on both sides.

not necessarily. e.g. "The top layer of the fabric is a tight knit and the bottom layer has a very warm, soft and fuzzy feel." Photos > http://ellswear.com/fabric_descriptions.htm

Moleton
Moleton is a fabric which feels like knit and stretch cotton. INCREDIBLY comfortable, accentuates your curves and has a great fit in ANY BODY SIZE (unlike jeans that you have to try 30 pairs to find one that fits nicely).
Moleton hugs your body and gives your rear a lift... if you never tried before, you don't know what you are missing!

: Moleton isn't just cotton knit...it's thick, and fleecy on one side...also, it's not necessarily 100% cotton.
