The Garment District

The garment district is the epicenter of New York's fashion design and fashion manufacturing industry. There is a high concentration of fabric stores, trim shops, notions stores and garment production-related services within just a few blocks. But you can also shop the items they make for retailers at wholesale prices. 

I needed a wrap to wear to my daughter's wedding and decided to see what was available there. Customer service there is lacking, because, I guess, they would rather sell you large quantities of fabrics and buttons than their clothing line. I didn't find a shop that actually had a dressing room.

I went in for this wrap. . .

 

And came out with this one. It was expensive, but I was told, half the price I would have paid retail.
