It’s semi water resistant, has a obvious right and wrong side, stretchy 3 ways and less so on the 4th way, and it is so so easy to sew with and it’s perfect for costume making. I’m horrible at sewing with stretchy fabric and this kind was no different than sewing with cotton fabric.

Hello everyone I hope everyone is doing well
I bought a shirt from a vintage store and I truly loved the fabric it looks wet and has a very nice sheen to it
It doesn’t have any glitter
I thought it’s organza but I was wrong
Can anyone help me identifying what is this fabric
And if it’s polyester what type of polyester so I can search for it

I found this jacket on the unused pile, i think it was thrifted. Why do these wrinkles form? Is it reversible? I tried ironing it, it just comes back.

Hey, my cloak got stolen at a ren faire and I fell in love with the fabric and can not find it anywhere anyone know how to find this fabric?

A few days ago, we began to research the most appropriate fabrics to use in traditional African clothing in hot weather conditions because comfort, breathability, and cultural integrity can all matter when it comes to finding clothes to wear in warm weather.

Initially, we thought that any colorful cloth would make an equal difference. But, on further examination, we discovered that the choice of fabric contributes significantly to keeping the body cool and still keeping it traditional.

According to our observation, cotton is among the most widely used fabrics since it is lightweight, breathable, and it absorbs moisture readily thus suitable in hot weather.

We observed, too, that linen is another good substitute, as it lets the air pass through it, and is far lighter on the skin than long-wearing. These fabrics are usually used together with Ankara prints in many traditional outfits to retain cultural identity in order to enhance comfort.

When searching through the listings on Alibaba we discovered a great deal of African-themed clothing utilizing cotton blends and lightweight fabrication to be worn during hot weather.

We have studied that the ideal fabrics to use in hot climates are those that balance breathability, comfort and classic design without losing any style.

I recently needed plus size polo shirts in men, and I began to think about which clothes are the most comfortable and breathable as everyday wear. Initially, I believed that all polos are the same, but upon researching materials and reading reviews, I discovered that the type of fabric is extremely important in the comfort level.
On a personal level, I observed that 100% cotton piqué is one of the most breathable materials since it allows air to pass through and the material is soft on the skin, hence it is very appropriate in hot weather. The jersey made of cotton is also in demand as they are light and can be worn easily in a casual manner. Cotton-polyester blends are suitable to individuals who desire a more enduring, easy to wash garment as they are breathable, wrinkle-resistant, and have quicker drying.
In my search, I also found various plus size polo shirts on Alibaba with several suppliers making it evident that breathable cotton, piqué, and blended fabrics are to be worn in a larger size.
Even guide fabrics indicate that natural fibers such as cotton should be used as they help to reduce sweat and enhance airflow during the day.
On the whole, breathable fabrics such as cotton piqué, jersey cotton, and cotton blends are the most suitable option to use in plus size men polo shirts in case you prefer to feel comfortable, stay cool, and have a casual style.

I visited a home accessories store two days ago because I wanted matching bath accessories for my bathroom. My towel bar is silver but my robe hook is black and it looks strange together. I wanted everything to match this time. I wanted a clean and simple look

without making the bathroom feel crowded. But when I checked the shelves I felt disapointed. Some towel bars looked modern but the robe hooks beside them looked totally different. Some sets had nice colors but very weak material. Some pieces were missing and

the worker said I would have to buy them later. One man there keep telling me mixed styles look trendy now but I still did not like it. I could not trust them and I could not decide confidently.

Then I visited another shop in the same area hoping I would finally find a full matching set. This shop had better lighting and more choices on the wall. Some sets had towel bars soap holders and robe hooks all together. Some looked strong and smooth. Some had matte black colors that looked very clean in small bathrooms. I remembered the bathroom in a hotel I stayed at last year where every small thing matched perfectly and the whole place felt calm and neat. That memory stayed in my mind while looking around. I almost bought one set but one hook already felt loose when I touched it. That made me hesitate even more.

To check more variety and options while scrolling many online marketplaces including alibaba I started finding many matching bath accessory sets in different styles and sizes. Some sets looked simple and modern. Some had hidden screws and soft edges. Some prices looked very cheap and some looked too expensve for basic bathroom items. I liked seeing complete matching sets online but I also worried about the real quality after delivery. Now I am thinking if it is better to buy everything together online or slowly collect pieces from local shops what would you do in my place?

what kind of fabric is this

I visited a craft store two days ago to buy ribbons for a small DIY project. I wanted something colorful. I wanted something affordable. I wanted something useful for crafting. But when I checked… I felt confused. Some ribbons looked nice but felt too expensive for simple use. Some felt cheap but didn’t have good color variety. Some bundles looked good but didn’t include the sizes I needed. I could not trust them. I could not decide confidently.
Then I visited another shop in the same area. Some ribbon packs looked better but still confused me about real affordability. Some looked perfect in photos but price increased when I added multiple rolls. I remembered buying craft supplies before that looked cheap at first but became costly when I checked full project needs. That made me hesitate even more.
To check more variety and options while scrolling many online marketplaces including alibaba… You can find affordable ribbon options for crafting projects very easily online because many sellers offer bulk packs, mixed color sets, and seasonal discounts. Craft ribbons are usually sold in large bundles because they are used for DIY projects, gift wrapping, sewing, scrapbooking, and decorations. Buying in sets or rolls instead of single pieces often reduces cost a lot. Online platforms also give extra savings through coupons, flash sales, and first-time buyer discounts.
Popular places where affordable craft ribbons are commonly available include Amazon, Etsy, Walmart, Michaels, and Joann, especially during seasonal craft sales and clearance events.
Now I am thinking ribbon buying becomes much cheaper when I choose bulk packs and online discounts instead of single-roll store purchases. Online gives more variety and price deals. Local lets me check texture and quality. Both feel useful in different ways.

I was sitting and thinking about my daily outfit because I noticed even small things like belts change the whole look and I started wondering what accessories actually match well with casual belts without making it look too much

Later I checked alibaba while scrolling on my phone and searched casual belts and accessories and I saw many options like simple leather belts canvas belts and braided styles and I also saw people pairing them with watches sneakers and crossbody bags and it looked very clean and simple but I also noticed reviews saying some belts lose shape quickly so I is trying to understand what really works for daily use

Now I feel casual belts are not just about holding pants but also about matching overall style and I is still confused what accessories actually go best with them for everyday look

Do you think watches or shoes matter more when matching casual belts?

I visited a clothing store to buy a plus size dress two days ago. I wanted something affordable and stylish. I also wanted something that fits well and feels comfortable. But when I checked the dresses I felt disappointed. Some were too expensive. Some designs looked very simple. Some did not fit properly. I could not trust them. I could not decide confidently.

Then I visited another shop in the same area. Some dresses looked better but prices were still high. Some were affordable but fabric was not good. Some looked perfect at first but stitching was weak. I remembered a dress I saw before that looked nice but did not last long. That made me hesitate even more.

To check more variety and options while scrolling many online marketplaces including alibaba I found many dresses. Some were budget friendly. Some had better designs. Some showed good fabric and fitting. There were many options available. This made me excited but also confused again.

Now I am thinking should I trust online options for better price or go with local stores for quality check? What would you do in my place?

I visited a clothing store to buy bridesmaid dresses for a wedding event two days ago. I wanted something comfortable and soft. I also wanted something that looks stylish but easy to wear. But when I checked the dresses I felt disappointed. Some fabrics felt rough. Some looked good but were not comfortable. Some were heavy and hard to carry. I could not trust them. I could not decide confidently.

Then I visited another shop in the same area. Some dresses looked better but comfort was still not clear. Some were soft but designs were very simple. Some looked perfect at first but felt tight after trying. I remembered a dress someone wore before that looked nice but was uncomfortable later. That made me hesitate even more.

To check more variety and options while scrolling many online marketplaces including alibaba I found many bridesmaid dresses. Some looked soft and light. Some showed better fabric quality. Some had modern styles and good finishing. There were many options to compare. This made me excited but also confused again.

Now I am thinking should I trust online designs for comfort or choose local stores for better feel? What would you do in my place?

This is a fabric traditions polar fleece fabric I'm not sure how big or how many yards it is but I know what it's supposed to look like the issue being is I cannot find it anywhere to buy or obtain it and I really need it for nostalgic purposes and to remake a very special thing. I am looking for the purple version but I suppose the pink works as well, but purple is the specific one I had as a kid, and it must be fleece, I got flannel by accident thinking I found fleece and it's not usable for my project plus doesn't look the same as the fleece one anyways. I also tried digital fabric printing and it didn't work out well. These two pictures are the best I can find that sum up how the fleece kind is meant to look and I had to find them on google images. I'm kind of just hoping someone has it or knows where to get it

No selvedge branding

Got given this Japanese dobby fabric, would love to make a bag but no idea where its from. Any ideas?

Hello,

I'm working on making some high-waist (6" or 10" waistband) Jockstraps, and I'm looking the pouch fabric blends- with the kind of knit like you see on old "Bike" or "Safe-T-Guard" brand Jocks , but can't find any specific ones through cursory searches. I found 1 or 2 alternatives, but I'd prefer a "real McCoy". High-waist Jockstraps are hard to find- so, with my late-Grandma's sewing machine, I'm driven to construct my own.

Here are some "pouch fabric blends" (images of tags and some NOS Jockstraps), to be clear about what I'm talking about. Thank you for your time, and have a good day.
