Flamenco Fabrics Where to Buy Online

Anke | February 22, 2013 | Fabrics | No Comments

If you are not based in or visiting Spain you are probably wondering where to buy fabrics for your flamenco dress.
If you don’t find anything suitable in your local fabric store your next best option is to buy online. Before buying large amounts of fabric it is a good idea to ask for a sample. And, of course, make sure they ship to your country.
Here are a couple of online stores I use often and have found reliable:
For each I am listing links to the fabrics I mostly use for flamenco outfits for dancers. These fabrics are not the only ones that will work, especially if you are going to make a dress you are not going to dance in. For more information about what fabrics to use check out Flamenco Fabrics  – What to Buy .
