Organic, natural fibers, woven patterns and light weight knits please.

Definitely natural fiber fabrics like wool challis, knits, and gauze. Potentially organic cotton/rayon jersey or organic merino? I would love to have those.

some natural fibers would be great !

I liked the Guatemalan cottons. Perhaps more ethnic/cultural designs/fabrics would be interesting!

Sheer wool or wool gauze. A wool you can wear in TEXAS weather!

Love the selection of wools. Maybe would like to see bamboo knits & wovens?
Oct 29, 2011, 07.13 PMby plaidlinoleum
I really love all the wools they have, but there is always room for more. Oilcloth would also be nice.

I would love to see more funky, bright, crazy prints.

Wool knits please.
Oct 29, 2011, 10.39 AMby sewingswissmiss
organic knit fabrics in a wide range of colors would be great!

Rather than fabric, I’d like to see a wider variety of notions available on the website, ie zippers, etc. You seem to have covered nearly everything in the way of beautiful fabrics for dressmaking & tailoring…

Patterned jerseys – they can be so tricky to find!
Oct 29, 2011, 04.34 AMby knitist
I like linen and cotton-linen blends. I already love the silks they have.

Linen

If unlimited funds I could spend thousands at Britex. The suit weight sage green with the darker silk lineing to wear with the soft but bright rose silk as a blouse! The short coat pattern is ok but better for my daughter as she is a petite. I really like the traditional full length wool coat featured on Britex opening page. Saphire blue with the heavy silk as lineing [maybe in a greyed or York blue]. Oh yeah, I could spend much but at that cost I would certainly have a tailor put it togather for the best fit.

more wool would be nice.
Oct 27, 2011, 08.49 PMby susansvelvetmonkey
I love the simplicity of this cape/coat. I would like to be able to visit the Britex store in person…could spend hours there. More cottons with modern patterns would be fabulous.
Thank-you
