Help me find

New postby Sewing Lady on Fri Apr 11, 2008 3:12 pm

I need an online source for inexpensive satin taffeta. I have a client that is on a very limited budget and as such I am trying to help her locate some of her supplies. She has her heart set on Satin Taffeta for 5 Bridesmaids dresses.

You ladies always have a good supply of links.

Thanks
Leighanna

Just checked out Denver Fabrics. Don't bother, unless she wants a lovely plaid or a really ugly stripe, or red with black or purple.

Leighanna Hancock Fabrics has 29 pages of satin in all price ranges. I did a search on their site for satin taffeta and came up with nothing but you might possibly find something your bride to be could use. Here's the site: http://www.hancockfabrics.com
Good luck!!!

My yahoo search didn't turn up anything promissing. What color are we talking about. I found an Indian company that had several plaids but no prices listed.

Is satin taffeta different than regular taffeta?? I always thought taffeta was a rayon fabric..

No. We went with a party taffeta. But thank you all for the help.
