Halp! Panicked Fabric Search! (Cross-Posted)

topic posted Mon, October 29, 2007 - 7:38 AM by  Haamid
I am looking for *just* the right fabric for a commissioned bellydance gown and am not having much luck locally.

I need something with some lycra spandex in it, 2-way (not 4-way) stretch, in black and bronze/copper metallic. I'm open to lots of possibilities within these parameters, but I'm just not finding much here in MI.

I have sent swatch requests to NYC, but haven't received anything yet and time is growing short. I really don't want to order anything sight unseen -- can anyone tell me if there is a little specialty fabric store somewhere here (hopefully Detroit/Ann Arbor/Dearborn, although I will travel a bit) which would have a good selection of bellydance-friendly fabric?

Even Haberman's crapped out on me....I was shocked!

TIA for any advice...

    I was at Hancock's the other day and they had some coppery black stretch material in the halloween section. They also have an online store. You could check there. And I think they're having a promotion right now for free shipping.
