Hi - I am looking for some Chocolate Brown fabric for a skirt. I really wanted a matte jersey or something similar, it doesn't even have to be stretch. Just a nice drapey skirt weight. I am having real trouble finding some plain fabric in a dark brown colour.

Any help locating some would be much appreciated!

I bought some chocolate colored rayon/poly/lycra knit at FashionFabricsClub.com. I just got it in the mail... it looks great!

I know that Spandeexhouse.com also lists having matte jersey, but haven't ever ordered any, so I can't tell you anything about it.

I've gotten some nice brown matte jersey from Lucy's Fashion Fabrics Ebay store (recommended by GiGi).
Here's a link:

Thanks for the links.

Sewing skater - That looks like what I need. I haven't ordered from them before but I will give it a try. What is the weight of the fabric like?

phamercoon - I had looked at Lucy's but I was undecided about the weight - I wanted something a bit heavier I think.

Thanks for your help
