Neoprene Fabric- where to buy?!
This section is sponsored by
Hi All, long time Burda Member, first time blog poster!
I am planning a new dress and i would like to use Neoprene (white). I was wondering if anyone has purchased this before, and where, it seems difficult to find! I am in Australia, happy to purchase online. Its been on the runway a lot recently, so it has to be out there, i just cant find it!
Any help would be much appreciated!

Have you come across any other names for it? Never heard of it myself. I found this http://compare.ebay.co.uk/like/181056314580?var=lv&ltyp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar&adtype=pla&crdt=0 but not sure if that’s what you mean

It’s basically wetsuit material or scuba- like i said its been very popular on the runway lately with lavin and Versace etc, but finding it hard to obtain!

http://www.rhnuttall.co.uk this company sells it and exports too. There seemed to be other companies if you type wet suit fabric for sale in google

I remembered that a sewing book mentioned outdoor fabric stores and this one is in Calgary, Alberta in Canada. Sadly, no white neoprene is showing but maybe that zebra print works for you? http://www.peakfabrics.com/fabric/shell-fabrics/neoprene
Found a foam vendor (in California, USA) selling Neoprene. http://www.foamorder.com/neoprene.html#colors A fabric store in Seattle, Washington USA also carries Neoprene: http://www.seattlefabrics.com/neoprene.html
Found a lead in Australia for you! http://www.linkron.com.au/product_category.php?catId=5&subCatDiv=6

I saw some neoprene on tessuti-shop.com (Australian shop) but can’t remember if they had white.
