Hello, again! I have found out that Canvasbacks, a company that had made high end women's clothing, that now mainly sells their remaining fabric from Europe, will be open the Thursday and Friday of the convention. With the exception of the fabric for ties, everything is 60 inch wide. The prices range from two dollars to twenty dollars, with a few things higher than that. They have wools, satins, silks, cottons, all in patterns I have never seen any where else!
They will be open 10 AM to 2 PM, but, if they know there are still many coming from the convention, she will stay open a bit later for us. They are at 1039 South 2nd Street, which is about five minutes from the hotel. We, here in Milwaukee, have been going there for years and hope they continue. But they may close at the end of May.
