Prepleated fabric

Sep 28, 2007 11 Replies

Hi Everyone!



I'm looking for an on-line source for a prepleated fabric in turquoise. The pleats need to be permanent. It needs to be a dressy fabric, an organza or an opaque fabric, but not a cotton. It is to go on the sleeve cuffs and hem area of an Irish dance dress I'm helping to design and then sew for the dancer.



If I can't find such a fabric, I guess I'll try to locate a Perfect Pleater and see if I can set pleats into a polyester or similar man-made fabric.



Thanks in advance for your suggestions. Sheila


You might try searching on "pre-pleated organza trim". A while ago, someone on the SewBiz list asked about black pleated organza, and I found this site:

probably don't want the lace edging, but maybe you could remove it?

Your request does not provide sufficient information to even try to make a search. What *fiber* do you want your "100% organza" made from???

Beverly, yeah, feeling snarky tonight....

Hi and welcome to alt.sewing. Nice to see someone from China! Sorry can't help with your request, but if you have facebook, I might be able to suggest someone who can. I don't know the individual at all, only know of her, if you see what I mean....

Ooh, smack your fingers!

Orlright, so I was feeling impish....

Ouch! Now how am I supposed to type with stinging fingers???

My dearly beloved will attest that's me on a good day....

Now relaxing at the computer coz there's nothing on the box that appeals. A couple of glasses of a rather good antipodean shiraz at the end of an unseasonably warm spring day, hoping for a couple more and the pool should be up to temperature. The pool has to be about 90F these days before we go in, but it does seem to do my back some good for a little while.

Check with suppliers in India.

Your search - organza - did not match any documents. Suggestions: Make sure all words are spelled correctly. Try different keywords. Try more general keywords.

I appreciate your sincere effort in steering someone (in China, or at least wanting delivery to China) looking for a source of "pre-pleated cheer organza fabric" to look for it in India, but really, wouldn't Indonesia be better (or at least closer)?

Sure. I just don't have any experience with Indonesian textiles, but I notice that many of the things in my closet came from India.
