Where to shop for lingerie fabrics and haberdashery in Australia?
This feels like I am about to give away all my secrets as a lingerie designer, because one of the hardest things when you are manufacturing lingerie is to find reliable well stocked suppliers who stock quality products. Once upon a time Australia was a haven of lingerie manufacturing, but the majority of lingerie manufacturing has now closed down and gone along with it are the supplies that used to be available for our personal lingerie making. Luckily, there are still some specialised suppliers who remain and some new ones who have popped up in the last few years.

E&M Greenfields is a great wholesale supplier. I have used them a lot for everything from power mesh to lingerie haberdashery. Their quality and prices are wholesale. https://emgreenfield.com/
