lately I’ve been interested again in looking for vintage fabric, probably due to how happy I was with the fabric for the “50′s on 50′s” dress. but other than eBay, I’m really having a hard time finding fabrics of good vintage condition in lengths I’d need and the find of the fabric for the 50′s on 50′s dress was totally a stroke of luck!

I do kind of waffle back and forth on wanting to use vintage fabric, or not bothering with the hunt and expense because IMHO I’d rather spend that money on patterns and repro prints – or maybe that new pair of shoes or a hat!

I’d really love to hear if anyone has an opinion about or a shopping method regarding the vintage VS repro fabrics idea
