[h-cost] 18th Century Fabric

2005-11-07 Thread Anita . Campbell

Hello,

Does anyone know of an on-line source for reproductions of 18th century
fabrics?  I've found a few, but don't want to miss any before I choose the
fabric for a 1780s-1790s  dress.

Thanks,
Anita

Anita,

If you can wait for a few monthsI will be carrying Duran Textiles
starting in Februrary.  If you haven't seen the website, it is really
great (especially the photographs that Laila takes)!  Here is a link:

I will be starting with the cotton prints and eventually hope to carry the
full line.  And next to each style of fabric she says where the original
pattern was found.  Very cool!

Have you heard of Reproduction Fabrics?  They claim to sell reproduction 
patterns dating between 1775 and 1970, some of which are genuine indigo 
prints in period designs.  Most of them appear to be cotton prints, if that's 
what you're interested in:
