Fabric

As my dress is being custom made, I had to go shopping for fabric, and what I though would be pretty hard ended up really easy. We went to 3 places:
Denver Fabric, Elfriede's Fine Fabrics, and to Allyn's Fabric & Bridal Supplies.
The first one was Elfriede's (a really nice old german lady owns the store). We spotted a fabric we really liked, but being the first store, we didn't dare buying it. Then we went to Allyn's, where we asked for swatches. They wanted us to pay for a little square of fabric, which put us off as Elfriede had given us a huge one for nothing... we left. Finally, Denver Fabric is quite big, discount prices, but you either find your dream fabric or don't... we just didn't. We realized that the first fabric we saw was the best (ladies, you will know it is it when you see it). Elfriede remembered us and had loved the design of my dress. We asked for 5 yards, and she gave us the whole roll! We ended up with around 8 yards for the same price!Go to Elfriede's Fine Fabric, 2425 Canyon Boulder, CO 80302, Phone:303 447-0132.
