Fabric for wedding Kilts
As I posted in another forum, I'm getting married in June and all 6 of the guys in the wedding party will be kilted (and I'm making the Kilts). The time has come to order the fabric. I tried just doing a google search for tarten suppliers, and was a bit over loaded! Any advice on reasonably priced (not cheap - I want decent quality fabric) stores that have a wide variety of tartans and a good reputation?
I'm doing a 4 yard box pleat kilts. My Boyfriend, his best man, and his ring boy have family tartans they will be wearing, myself, my best man and my ring boy all have a complete lack of scottish or irish heritage in the families and will be picking tartans based on (I don't know what at this point, but something). However the time has come and fabric must be ordered -- 6 kilts, a full wedding, and a full time job (oh, and my boyfriend and I currently live in different cities which makes things harder too -- but if we didn't we wouldn't be getting married, since he's going to leave his job to follow me to mine, we need to be "domestic partnered" so he can go on my insurance)...
ANYWAY back to topic, and advice on quality tartan fabric stores would be very appreciated -- I'd like to do 12-14 oz fabric. One person is alergic to wool, so a store that had some cotton or silk options might be nice.
All of this seemed like such a good idea a few months ago, and is now becomeing very scary (making the kilts, and the big wedding, getting married seems wonderful!)
Thanks!
Chris
(And I promise pics will be posted after the wedding)
PS, I don't know that it matters much (except in shipping), but I'm in California in the USA
