Not a fabric store, but a very much drool worthy ribbon/trim shop that I dropped $200 in last time I went. http://www.ribbonstore.com/ Email her before you go because it's a home based business. Just mention that you are a historical costumer and ask if you can stop by to buy a few pieces. Her workshop is where the entire store is - it's beyond fabulous.
We don't have many fabric stores. There's the Ribbon Store and Heddy's. Heddy's doesn't usually have a lot for historic costuming. I did get my blue silk print for my 1929 jampagne dress there :)
If you'd like to get together for dinner, let me know!
That would be awesome! I would love to meet you. I'll be there from Nov. 8-12. I'm with a bunch of people, so not entirely sure what the schedule looks like at the moment, but I'll message you in the next week or two and hopefully we can make plans. :)
Vegas wooo! I'm a tad sad school makes coming out to see you impossible. I am heading that way approx 2 weeks later. How cool would it have been of our trips overlapped. It's been said already but I highly recommend the ribbon store. She's on eBay also so you can get idea of what she has. But in person it's so much better. I have always gone with projects in mind and allow myself one splurge otherwise I'd spend way too much.
Oh man, that would have been awesome! I'm still planning on buying my Costume College ticket the day I get back, so hopefully we can meet there. I hope you get to have a fun trip too!
Thanks for the info on the ribbon store! Sounds like a must-see destination.
