Sample Book Information
Thank you for interest our catalogues. We are a family business specializing in bridal fabrics since 1996. Although now offering a much larger and varied range of fabrics and having a bigger customer base, we still consider that our success is due to the fast, reliable and friendly service we provide. Much of our range is formed by listening to what you tell us you need and if possible trying to provide that service or fabric.
The range can be ordered in sections, so that you can choose which type of fabrics you want to offer:
- 1. Brocades. Bodice and waistcoat designs of European and U.K origin. Colours available include ivory, pastels and darker colours. This section includes 2 silk jacquards, and will incorporate any patterned or printed fabrics added in future.
- 2. Laces.The range includes fine delicate French laces like Chantilly, through to heavier corded, guipure and pleated as well as beaded and sequined types. Most designs are double bordered. Many are offered in ivory but include white, champagne, antique rose, ice blue, wine, chocolate, mid coco, black, metallic silver and gold.
- 3. Silks/Plains. Satins include soft, D/Faced poly/silk, ac/silk, and Stretch Duchess Satins. Plains and shot in Satin Organza, Chiffon, Taffeta and Mikado. Also, Dupion, Crepe Marocaine, triple Organza, stretch Chiffon and Organza, crushed Organza, Satin and Taffeta. We also offer a varied choice of velvet, cotton pile (inc. White).
- 4. European Embroideries/Sequinned/Crystalled These embroideries come from Austria, France and Italy. They are done on a variety of base fabrics including tulle, chiffon, organza, Dupion and velvet. Some qualities are also done with Swaroski crystals or sequins. In the main they are finer more detailed designs than the ones from the Far East.
- 5. Embroideries. This is by far the largest range that we offer. Main base cloth is Tulle, but also includes Duchess Satin, Georgette and light Weight silk crepe. Some Satin designs have beads & Sequins and raised flowers. Most designs are put on to Ivory coloured base fabric, but we are starting to bring in more coloured grounds. The thread colours vary from pastels through to rich purples and wines and include metallic gold and silver yarns.
- 6. Edgings & 7. Motifs. It has now become necessary, due to the large increase in the selection of articles available, to split this into two sections. Each section will now be offered in separate ring binders. These sections offer a growing range of embroidered, (some with hand beading) edgings and motifs. Colours offered include Ivory, White, Black and Champagne. Many more designs are now being offered in a variety of other colours to co-ordinate with other plain/embroidered fabrics we run. These are very affordable prices, and can save you hours of work.
