Having access to higher quality fabrics when working within a budget is now possible, due to a fantastic range of Economy Fabrics that Calico Laine stock. We believe that quality fabrics are one of the most important parts to creating the perfect garments in your Dressmaking, and using Cheap Fabrics is not the way to give successful results.
Cheap Fabrics simply don’t have the finish, look or feel to give the best results possible, and more often than not, using Cheap Fabrics often means that garments just don’t last. Our Economy Fabrics are designed to provide you with the best quality fabrics, for when you need to work under a budget.
Here at Calico Laine, we pride ourselves in only providing the highest standards of quality Fabrics. To get the most of your Dressmaking garments, we always suggest to source the best quality of fabrics, as Cheap Fabrics simply do not last as well. However, purchasing high quality fabrics does not have to be as expensive as you think! We now have a full range of Economy Fabrics which means you can have these beautiful Fabrics at the price of Cheap Fabrics, without sacrificing quality.
