Fabrique Fashion Fabric

So you bit the bullet and spent your life’s savings on that pale yellow designer silk jersey ruched dress.

Then you saw its knockoff at the mall the next day (and on every girl in town) — and were pretty sure it was cuter.

Stop the madness and start designing your own clothes at Fabrique Fashion Fabrics.

Store owner Lora Simonds carries tons and tons of haute couture apparel fabrics (Oscar de la Renta, Pucci, Anna Sui) along with decadent soft cashmere and beautiful hand-beaded lace.

But the really cool features are the two insanely talented ladies (Marla and Kathy) who will design or teach you how to create the garment of your dreams. Just cop a seat at the table and chat with them about your vision; Marla will sketch it up as you talk. Next, choose your fabric and have your measurements taken. You’ll be your on your way to something truly unique and looking forever gorgeous.

Which definitely beats Forever 21.
