Review: Great for anyone buying online fabric. - With the loss of Joannes and other in person fabric stores, I realized I didn't know the right terminology to buy fabric online. I got this, and it was so informative. It also has so many swatches so I can feel the fabric, and that is so helpful with making online fabric purchases. Review: Very good resource for fabric information - This book is amazing. As a sewer and costumer, I have to find certain types of fabrics for my projects. I also have to order many fabrics online now due to the lack of fabric stores in my area. If I am looking at fabrics online and don't know the difference between a silk organza, silk crepe de chine, or a silk georgette, I can look at the swatches in the book and read the descriptions and info and have a better idea if any of those fabrics would work for my project. I believe this has been used as a textbook for fashion majors, so it is a bit expensive, but totally worth it. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #111,792 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #112 in Textile & Costume (Books) #245 in Fashion Design | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 384 Reviews | ## Images ![Fabric for Fashion: The Swatch Book - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61WRIJQlziS.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for anyone buying online fabric. *by W***Y on October 3, 2025* With the loss of Joannes and other in person fabric stores, I realized I didn't know the right terminology to buy fabric online.
