Buying fabrics can be exciting, but it’s easy to make mistakes that cost time and money. Whether you’re buying lace, damask, or other textiles for weddings, Aso Ebi, or everyday outfits, knowing what to watch out for helps you make smart decisions.
1. Ignoring Fabric Quality
- Check thread strength, pattern clarity, and finishing.
- Avoid fabrics that feel scratchy, flimsy, or poorly stitched.
2. Buying Without Measuring
- Always measure the fabric needed for your outfit or project.
- Underestimating yards leads to extra costs or mismatched patterns.
3. Not Considering the Occasion
- Some fabrics are great for casual events but not suitable for weddings or formal ceremonies.
- Match fabric type, weight, and texture to the event.
4. Overlooking Color and Pattern
- Colors can look different under shop lighting.
- Always view the fabric under natural light and consider the garment design.
5. Buying Only on Price
- Low price doesn’t always mean value; very cheap fabrics may lack durability.
- Balance affordability with quality.
Tips to Avoid Mistakes
- Always request a sample before bulk purchase.
- Compare multiple suppliers and fabrics.
- Ask a tailor or designer for advice if unsure.
