Even at the end of the day when I put it on the hanger...it still looked polished, front and back!

This is usually the owner (or another person) that makes seasonal trips to New York City to see what goodies they can bring back to their store to sell. Chain stores usually don't go this route. They order their fabrics many months in advance and it shows up in plastic wrap to their hundreds of locations. So your best bet is to find a not-a-chain fabric store and get to know the buyer...then you can put in a special request for a specific piece/brand that you are looking for. So in this case, the buyer has awesome tastes and is up to date in the world of fashion, and I do enough research to easily spot them. I've only seen a bit of behind-the-scenes action in LA fashion district...and that was an education. Haven't been to NYC fashion district, but hopefully I will before 2011!! And this is not a lucky match. It is J.Crew fabric that was sold off because the retailer/manufacturer is done with it. Like butta! My recommendation is to actually go to Mood fabrics, LA or NY and you will see designer fabrics in overload, Oscar, Vera, Herrera etc...~HLTb4thedoor.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04585273703193652078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8437709322495669980.post-49832210298907377222010-06-25T00:11:33.229-04:002010-06-25T00:11:33.229-04:00HOLD THE PHONE.
