Oh good lord! Just two? M&J Trim is a great shop. They have a website, fyi. Nearby, there is a block or two with little fabric store crammed to the gills next to another little fabric store crammed to the gills, next to another one. All of them have slightly different fabric. And they make deals for cash. It is on the same street as Beckenstien's, http://www.citysearch.com/profile/7085136/new_york_ny/beckenstein_s_men_s_fabric_czar.html which has men's suiting and makes suits for the stars. I wish I would have had them measure me up and gotten one when I was there a few years ago.

Can anyone suggest any other museums or exhibitions that would have (historical) costumes on display?Thanks,Julie------------------------------_______________________________________________h-costume mailing [email protected]http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costumeEnd of h-costume Di! gest, Vol 13, Issue 94***************************************** _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
