Ribbon

[msmemory_archive]

Where do I go to buy ordinary grosgrain ribbon? I need 1" or 1 1/4" black ribbon, grosgrain or possibly velvet. I bought a dress on deep discount, $59 marked down from $179, and part of the reason it was marked down is that it has lost its belt, and even a narrow leather belt would be all wrong. Does JoAnn's even carry such a thing, or should I mail order? Mail order would be easier for me than Windsor Button, unless someone wants to do the legwork for me.

(Dress looks pretty much like this, but with a wine-colored underdress.) http://www.buzzillions.com/dz_55523_adrianna_papell_boutique_strapless_black_reviews
No, I have no idea where/when I'm going to wear it, now that Arisia is past.

I work about two blocks from WB. I can pop in there and if they have it, how much do you need?

five yards, to be safe. I want at least two for a belt, and a spare length in case I lose the belt myself.

okay. I will report back.

Thank you!

They have 1.5" and 7/8". No 1" or 1.25".

OK, I think I'll take up Mermaidlady on her offer of some of the 7/8".

Thanks for checking for me!
