We can help you located the fabric you need, whether it’s patterned damask for a Renaissance costume, a Baroque or Rococo brocade, silk taffeta or dupioni for a Victorian gown, or something else entirely.

For example, already the Vikings wore heavy silks with a plain, twill, or diamond weave that they brought back from exotic lands.
