Shopping Guide

Online fabric store is a website where you can buy fabrics from the comfort of your own home.

As any other online shop, it is a win-win model both for a customer and a seller: you save time on commuting, while sellers save on the overhead expenses of the brick-and-mortar stores.

However, the textile specifics limit the customer experience because you can't touch the fabric. Is there a way to overcome this difficulty? Where can you find the fabrics of the future fashion trends? Find the answers in this guide.

How to Select Fabrics?

When shopping for a new smart phone or vacuum cleaner, the main information you are looking for is the technical characteristics of the device: the screen resolution, the processor generation, the memory and battery capacity for a pocket gadget, or the sucking power, the type of litter container and the noise level of a vacuum cleaner. However, when it comes to fabrics, the figures and metrics do not matter so much: why should you care about the ultra fineness or outstanding durability of the fabric if the colour or print doesn’t suit you? That's when the visual properties of the goods and the copywriting skills come to the first place.

So, here are the basic fabric selection tips:

• Read the fabric description carefully and study the photos shot from different angles to let the bends display the texture and reveal matt or glossy effects.

• Pay attention to the fabric content, which is crucially important in case you have an allergic reaction to various natural fibres, such as wool or fur. These days, you can find faux fur that offers no less in terms of warmth and softness.

• Don’t forget that the screen of any electronic device has its matrix specifications, which often results in quite a different colour display across the monitors of the seller and the buyer. Reading the fabric description helps understand the original colourway.

• When searching for several items — say, fabrics, buttons and lining for your suit — try to order them all at once to receive just one parcel. It will save you hundreds of dollars in the long run.

• The fabric brand still matters. Trust us or not, but even in the current conditions of global market competition, lace fabrics from China and France can vary in terms of their weave quality, and the difference is often not in favour of Chinese lace.

• Run out of ideas? Impressed with the fabric design, yet don’t feel like it's what you’ve been searching for? Sometimes it happens. To bring yourself back on the right track, try to find online pictures of dresses sewn with this or similar fabric. As a rule, they can be found in such website sections as “Sewing ideas”, “Fashion concepts”, “Featured ideas”, etc.

Basic Tips

No one would deny the comfort of online shopping per se. However, to make it smooth and safe, we recommend that you follow these tips:

• When visiting an online shop, always pay attention to the first five letters in the URL bar of your browser: it must always be ‘https://’, not ‘http://’. The letter ‘s’ points to the encrypted connection that secures all the payments and personal data information processed via that website.

• Online shopping is global, so check the information about the location of the shop you are going to buy at to estimate delivery terms and prices.

• Want to save more on fabrics? Subscribe to the mailing lists of the fabric shops you are interested in and stay tuned to their discount offers.

• When dealing with paneled fabrics, pay attention to the price. Sometimes the price indicated refers to the panel, not to the running metre.

If you doubt whether this or that fabric suits you, consider ordering a swatch. You will have to pay both for the swatch and for its delivery, however, the swatch will be super informative in terms of the texture and real colour of the fabric you have set your eyes on.
