Appreciate any help to find fabric with " vintage baseball" look and
drape. I have googled for hours with variety of fabric descriptions
such as red pin stripe, baseball, vintage, red stripe, etc.

Orig uniforms worn by adults in 1900's were heavy cotton wool, don't
need to match the original fabric, just the "look" of the antique
uniform for little ones.

Prefer white/off white with the tiny RED stripe (trying to make the
baseball uniform generic for children).

I have a photography studio and to purchase similar uniforms for
little ones they are $175. EACH. As I need a variety of sizes for our
little models coming for portraits, it would cost me about $1,100.00
for six uniforms, three girls, three boys..

Thanks for your time and any helpful suggestions.

Sandee, where are you located? I suggest you make friends with an
interior designer who will let you order fabrics through her. "To the
Trade" fabric showrooms have an unbelievable wealth of fabrics that
designers special order from hundreds of thousands of swatches, and
they have just about anything you can imagine, I'm sure you could find
something there if you could just get access. I'm a designer in
Charlotte, NC and I know I could help you if you were local. It's not
just silk and chintz -- there are fabulous faux furs, wools,
matelasse, etc. and many of them would work beautifully for garments.
So if you have used a designer to decorate your home, call in a favor
and ask him or her to help you find the fabric! Just don't tell the
fabric showroom that's what you're doing -- they can be pretty snooty
about do-it-yourselfers in the name of protecting their designer
clients. Good luck.
