Hi!
I want to make a plaid blouse and the design requires a very drapey light-weight fabric (not shirting). It can be cotton, silk, poly, woven, or knit.
I ordered some samples from Gorgeous Fabrics but wonder if anyone has seen something that would fit the bill elsewhere.
Thank you!
Adriana

Will silk chiffon do?

This is at manhattanfabrics.com, the web sister of Paron in NYC. Excellent fabrics and service. You can search for lightweight and plaid under advanced search.

I was browsing silks for myself this morning and saw this purple and green china silk at Fashion Fabrics Club. Their selection is overwhelming and their shipping is so slow it hurts so I don't visit the site often anymore even if the prices are excellent and the fabrics usually are very nice.
