You bet! They ship worldwide!
Bonus! If you live in the area, I know at least the Roosevelt store offers the usage of their machines for $7.50 a day. Not bad if your's breaks down or if you have a bit of time/cash on your hands. (Get up from your seat, walk into the next room, compare and purchase your fabric, go sit back down and get to work? Awesome, seriously.)

I wish they had a store out here, like in the Schaumburg area. That would be super. I'd probably move in.
I've been to the Evanston location a few times, and was so relieved to find the perfect fabric for a costume.
I literally looked around the world for this stuff, and when I walked into Vogue...there it was, calling my name.
I think its time I make a trip up there again soon.

Heads up! The Evanston location is having a warehouse sale April 15 - 16 (Friday and Saturday).
The sale is only on bulk fabric by the bolt. Should be nice if you need lots for that fancy dress, or just want to stock up.
Details here: http://www.myvoguefa...ewarehouse.html
I'm gonna check it out, but I can't imagine I need a whole bolt of anything... lol. (Watch me walk away with at least one) XD

The Vogue Fabrics in Evanston, I super super commend. Never ever will go to Joann's again. The quality and quantity of their fabrics, equipment, and customer service is astounding. Any project that needs to be done could definitely be done inside that building
Jacked up 'n' good t'go

I'm deeply heartbroken to announce that their Torrence store has closed its doors.

Never knew about this store but something tells me that after Acen there is going to be a major trip to Evanston for fabric. Plus I have an idea that that bridal lace would be high enough quality for lolita outfits (much better than just having Hancock and JoAnns). Then there is the quilting I keep wanting to do.

I just went to their website and I was looking for a faux fur fabric similar to these:

I wasn't able to see anything like that. Can someone tell me if the store (Evanston) has a better selection that what is shown online?

I have yet to visit Vogue Fabrics ;____; I really want to though! My pattern construction classes at school recommend stopping there, but even still it's like an hour and a half~2 hour drive from Milwaukee and I never have any time. Luckily, I get done with school at 2 on Monday's so I'll finally have a chance to stop down!
On their website they say they have some really good corset making materials (like legit steel boning instead of that featherweight crap and also the coutil).

I just came from the Evanston store and it was a little overwhelming since I am so used to my little neighborhood (and now closed T_T) hancock fabrics.
I think if I go again, I'll have better luck in actually buying something but this trip I wasn't able to find what I was looking for at all. Now I know what they are set up like and how they operate, i think i will have a better 2nd venture.

Same here! I just went today... wow, it was overwhelming! I think I might try going on a weekday sometime; it'll probably be easier to browse when it's not jammed. I'm super-excited to go back, though.

You went to the Roosevelt location, right? There's another fabric store right across the street called rainbow fabrics (just in case you don't find everything you need at vogue).
