Britex Fabrics!

I recently went to Britex fabrics in Union Square, just to look at what they have for fabric selection, and wow was I impressed!!! Their fabric is of such high quality, and they just seem to have every type type of fabric in all colors of the rainbow. It was quite amazing. And a little overwhelming! They also have an amazing selection of trims (like antique french lace!), and feathers and rhinestone buttons! I ended up purchasing what I plan to turn into a belt for my dress:

Since this is so sparkly, I really think the dress should be mainly satin and silk as opposed to lace, as I was originally planning. I think this will make the project more simple too, since I think this is so lovely on its own :)
