Beyond the sources you see in <i>AD (Architectural Digest)</i>... and they might advertise in there, now that I come to think about it. <a href="http://www.britexfabrics.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.britexfabrics.com</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-to-purchase-designer-fabrics#post-1430375 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 22:13:20 +0000 Dimity 1430375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a look through some of the fabrics on Emma One Sock, and there are some very interesting ones. Things I'd never see here. And they ship internationally! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-to-purchase-designer-fabrics#post-1430371 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 22:09:35 +0000 barbaraq 1430371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also would like to add Marci Tilton (has a web site.) &nbsp;If you are in the Seattle area, there will be a huge sewing expo. on Feb. 26 through March 1 at the State Fairgrounds in Puyallup. &nbsp;There will be tons of fabric vendors. </p> <p>&nbsp;I buy fabric online a lot, but am sometimes disappointed by color, texture, weight, which are very difficult to assess online. &nbsp; Emma Onesock does the best job of accurate photos and descriptions, in my opinion.</p> <p>We sewers are also paying the price of cheap, fast fashion coming from 3rd world countries. &nbsp;That awful knit fabric you see in ready-made T shirts is increasingly what is offered to the sewing public. &nbsp;When the fabric is already pilling when it is still on the bolt, that kind of says it all. &nbsp;Sorry for the rant ... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-to-purchase-designer-fabrics#post-1429924 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 09:12:41 +0000 Anonymous 1429924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wish I could help, but I'm in the UK.

My brief&nbsp;experience with B&amp;M and online&nbsp;fabric stores hasn't been great. &nbsp;I'd love to learn how to make some of the Burberry items this season, but haven't a clue as to where comparable fabrics could be purchased.&nbsp; </p>
