Date: 9/18/12 10:15 PM I am about to put in an order for swim suit fabric from fabric depot co. (not fabric depot) which is located in Texas. They specialize in swim suit/dancewear fabric. Has anyone ordered from them? If yes, were you happy with your purchase? They have "value packs" of pre-cut fabrics at a great price. Has anyone bought one? I make swim suits for my daughters, my granddaughter and myself, so I use a fair amount and am tempted to take a chance.

Date: 9/19/12 11:21 AM I have purchased lots of "bra" makings from them. I find them very friendly and responsive. I've been pleased with fast service, decent prices and nice quality. I've even gotten some value packs which are tremendous savings. I recommend them. ------

Date: 9/19/12 11:26 AM I used to buy wholesale from them a decade ago. I still buy lining etc. from them and I have always had good, prompt service.
I buy Bemberg lining by the bolt at 40% off. I love having it in stash when I need it.
I guess I should review them  shouldn't I ------

Date: 9/20/12 9:44 PM This is one of my favorite places. Lots of hard to find notions and fabrics and good deals of by the pound. Tons of solids if you need to match something. ------

Date: 9/21/12 10:36 AM Thank you everyone. After talking with Susan, the owner, I placed an order and expect it to arrive next Tuesday. She was very helpful and I think I will be pleased. I ordered two bra kits, a bra pattern, and one of the value packs. Can't wait for it to arrived so that I can see what surprises are in the value pack.
