Angelina and I were tuckered out yesterday.  We visited New York City's Fashion District and meandered from store to store.  It was fantastic.   We went into some very interesting shops.  Of course we visited Mood, actually spent two hours there.  We found the perfect dress fabric for Angelina's prom dress. It was a 100% silk crepe back satin.  We will only shop seriously for the perfect color when she completes her muslin and practice dress.  A wonderful source of information was Margaret.  Angelina explained what she wanted to accomplish and Margaret then accompanied us to the area of the store where Angelina might want to consider fabrics and helped us with our selection.  Then lunch at Chipotle, where the posted calories prevented me from having the guacamole and chips.  We visited some fantastic trim shops and our feet finally found us heading to Elegant Fabrics located on 222 West 40th Street.  I love the fact that they allow you to take up to 10 fabric swatches for free (they are attached to the end of the bolt), after that it is 25 cents each.  Wonderful place to try different types of fabric.  It is well labeled and they were very helpful.  Our last stop was the Drama Bookshop.  I love this place.  They also had pattern making books, sewing books and of course costume design for different time periods in addition to an seemingly unlimited supply of plays and reference books.  With plenty of chairs to relax and browse, I found this store perfectly charming.
