We supply material to buy by the metre or in bulk depending on the amount of garments you have to make which is often most popular with dressmakers who need a large amount of material when making bridesmaid gowns or prom dresses. All of our Fabrics we stock are equally as popular as each other but on different time scales for example in the summer time our digitally printed satins, range of chiffons and cotton prints are always the most asked about and sold regularly on our online store. These materials are ideal for making eye-catching kimonos for over the bikini, beautiful summer dresses and layering over other fabrics to create elegant drapes and stunning garments. On the other hand when the colder months arrive we see other Fabrics becoming more popular including our meltons, winter wools and brushed cotton checks which are all a lot thicker making them ideal for clothing like jackets and trousers to keep you warm and comfortable. A lot of our winter materials have unique prints like checks and tartans making them stand out even when the weather is dull and miserable. If you are a beginner or a regular dressmaker and looking for the ideal Fabrics for certain occasions and clothing have a look at our online store which provides all the details and images about our materials as well as providing a sample service for you to check the feel and look of the Fabric before purchasing a large amount.
