From many years of selling Fabrics, we are experienced in knowing how important it is to use good quality Dressmaking Fabrics within your projects. Cheap Fabrics quite simply don’t last as well as fabrics of a higher quality. All of the Fabrics that we stock here at Fabric-World are of the best quality, yet we can offer fantastic prices. Cheap prices don't necessarily mean Cheap Fabrics! Here are some of the Cheap Fabrics that you can use when working under a budget, without having to sacrifice quality: Economy Satin – This fabric is ideal as a replacement for Cheap Fabrics, and is easy to work with, meaning that it can be perfect for many of your Dressmaking proects such as formal garments and bridal wear. Chiffon – This is the highest quality polyester Chiffon, and is perfect for layering with other Dressmaking Fabrics. Cheap Fabrics such as other Chiffons that are manufactured simply do not produce the required results when made into garments, resulting in poorer quality clothing. Poplin – This is a very popular Dressmaking Fabric that is far from being a Cheap Fabric! It is a popular choice for many garments including men’s and women’s shirts that require a lighter fabric without it being a Cheap Fabric. Using Cheap Fabrics that are not of the same quality as thos offered here at Calico Laine, can often become a more expensive option in the long run, through having to replace more often and costing more in labour to create new garments.
