Deb, I've gotten very nice silk jerseys at Mood in NYC. I haven't checked their website, but I imagine they have them available there as well as at their store.

Emmaonesock has some and while she only shows one or two colors she can get more colors. I ordered a couple of swatches and they are very nice quality. Mood always has plain and prints but the website leaves a lot to be desired as does customer service.
EOS is always adding new fabrics and she usually has a few silk jersey prints. B & J now has a website and while I don't remember if they have any online they will happily send you samples if you email or call and tell them what you are looking for. They are not cheap but great quality. I bought a gorgeous piece from Cynthia Steffe last year and made a great tunic out of it.

I was just in the Los Angeles Mood Fabrics today (what a paradise!), and bought some of their black $35/yd silk jersey for simple tops. It's opaque and high quality.

Sposa Bella Lace has a really nice silk knit jersey for $26/yd. I ordered some and it's quite heavy and nice. It only comes in ivory, but could be dyed.
