wedding/bridesmaid fabric

hi
I am making the bridesmaid dresses and have been looking for fabric well
I came across this site
http://www.hillsidetextiles.co.uk/
and have got my friend that lives in cardiff to go and have a look since I was
worried what the fabric would be like since it seemed to cheap.
Well she is raving about it said quality is very good.
Jeanette makes quilts and gets her fabric from the states but says this is
cheaper.

I am ordering mine and to make 6 dressers and waistcoats (if the men want them) and have bits left over for the extras its going to cost
£80.32 including vat and postage
I will keep you posted on what it like to work with
bye

    I bought a lot of fabric here about 8 or 9 years ago when I was refurbishing a caravan, coordinating fabrics for the cushions and curtains. It was really good quality, well known makes which were much cheaper than elsewhere in Cardiff. I would recommend it.
