Fabric Shop Online - This one seems good - any other suggestions
|
I bought some fabric from them for Padme's Packing Dress. I am still working on pleating it but thought I would let people know as they have $1.99 specials. I placed another order this weekend. I will let you guys know if I use any of the fabrics for any of the costumes my husband and I are working on...
Anyone else have any sites they recommend for fabrics and for what costume?

Those who're familiar with LOTR Costuming might be familiar with this seller:
B. R. EXPORTS/Exclusive Silks
(They also have an eBay Store and "famous" for carrying the Beaded & Embroideried Chiffon for Galadriel's Mirror Dress)
Kreleia, that's a great listing of online fabric stores. Thanks for posting!

I think I love you for this one... I found something similar in LA that I'd have to bead by myself, but... omg yay.

I have to amend one:
denverfabrics.com has changed management, so it's not the same, though their prices are still good.

Another source for fabrics, especially "Silk" Velvet is this eBay Seller:
Velvetsilk7
http://stores.ebay.com/velvetsilk7
Just be warn that for those who want to get this Velvet for your Arwen Coronation Gown, it is NOT the correct color as in Real Life, it actually have more Blue than Green. Thanks to Maggie for pointing it out with photo evidences.

This might be of use to people in the UK - they have quite a range of fabrics:
http://efabrics.co.uk/
Herts Fabrics mostly cater to re-enactors like myself, but they have an interesting range of stuff, particularly wools and linens. A lot of their stuff isn't up on the website, but shows up on their stall at various re-enactor's markets and faires: they'll also send swatches of most stuff for free. Once again, they're in the UK.
