Specializing in Reproduction Fabrics for Costumers
Reproductionfabrics.com is a mail-order company that specializes in supplying authentic reproduction cotton fabrics to both costumers and quilters around the world. We have provided costume fabrics to theaters, movies, living history museums, and re-enactors.
Most fabric shops will pre-cut their fabric bolts into smaller sizes to make it easier for purchase or to ship for their quilting customers. We are a little different in that we try to keep as much of our fabric on the bolt as possible for our costumer customers. A costumer for a movie or theater production may need to make several copies of the same dress or outfit and need several or more yards of the same fabric.
Our expertise
Margo has spent over twenty years researching, lecturing and writing about cotton printed and woven fabrics used in quilts and garments. This includes extensive library research on textiles, investigating print and dye technology developments, visiting museums all over the US and Europe, and viewing both private and public textile collections. She has appeared, author or featured topic, in a variety of publications.
Throughout the last 20+ years Margo has studied textile history and researched museums and other textile collections across the country. As a textile historian, She has become a great resource in providing recommendations and appropriate fabrics to costumers, movies, theaters, and living history museums.
If any of your upcoming projects or events require period clothing from 1775-1960s, we can help! Reproduction cotton fabrics can make authentic looking costumes for a variety of historical periods. We can advise you on which prints and dye colorations are appropriate for your project.
To help in fabric selection, we offer customized sample sets for a nominal fee or samples of specific collections. Just contact us with information about the time period, the look of your project and the yardage requirements. We will put together a customized set of fabric samples (3” squares) for your selection.
