isabelladangeloFirst, this is why I should never actually shop for tiaras. Seriously. WANT! However, I'll have to win the lotto tomorrow to even begin to afford that....
Second, buyer or searcher beware. The Fabric Exchange is a relatively new seller who is keyword spamming fabric searches. Let's say you are searching for red silk, their items will pop up with green cotton...a lot of green cotton which isn't even close to what you are looking for. It's because, at the bottom of their descriptions, they include a ton of keywords like kimono, red, silk, ect. This is against ebay's rules but -of course- ebay refuses to do anything about it.
So, given that there isn't a way to realistically boycott ebay, there is a way to get around this idiots spam. When you search for fabric, include this in your search: -(THEFABRICEXCHANGE.COM)
You can include other things you DON'T want in the ()'s. Like if you are looking for purple organza but you don't want it to be a polyester, your search will look like this:
purple organza -(THEFABRICEXCHANGE.COM, poly, polyester)
I've found that by cutting these idiots out of a search, my results go down by half -making it much easier for me to find what I need.
