I have shopped there, they have an enourmous selection, but they are VERY overpriced. Depending what you are looking for, you may find it there, or at any number of the other shops on that block, or 37th or 38th or 39th or 40th- that specialize in bridal fabrics. My friend traveled in from North Carolina a year ago to buy lace for her gown that she was going to make. I took 2 days off work (I work in that industry) to help her scour the fabric district for what she was looking for. You can also try Mood Fabrics (of Project Runway Fame- they do have an emourmous selection of beautiful off-price fabrics and Laces of all kinds)… and be sure to ask the helpful people in the stores where else too go if they don’t have exactly what you are looking for. Most of the shops with the better prices are inside buildings on higher floors and don’t have store fronts so you gotta know where you’re going. If your mom is “crafty”, you may also want to visit some of the bridal accessories stores in that area… and you’ll get better qualityand prices on linings, satins and all the other materials she will need. My mom is currently making my dress- a Vera Wang knock-off, but with pink petti-coats - and she ordered all the French Tulle and other fabrics directly through Mood. Good Luck!
