Fabric Store in Rome
I'm looking for recommendation for fabric store in rome that sells beautiful fabrics which can be use for gowns, veils, etc. I just want to look for a high-end store with a good selection. I'm thinking of buying materials for a wedding. The store doesn't necessarily have to cater to wedding attire.

The store that you are looking for is Volli Tessuti Altamoda. I discovered it by accident on my first trip to Rome last October. They have beautiful fabric, just what you're looking for. From what I saw prices range from 35 to 700 euro per meter. If I can find my receipt I will post the address. But I can tell that there was a nearby Travelex office and the address of that office is Piazza Barberini, 21a. I hope this helps.

I found the address. It is Via Del Tritone, 126. And the name of the store is Valli Tessuti Alta Moda.
I bought a purple silk wool that has a beautiful embroidered hem. Because of the embroidery you could only buy it in 1 meter panels. That material was about 120 euro per meter. I also bought a green and purple wool for a jacket and a solid green wool for a matching skirt. The wool was about 40 euro per meter.
I did look at some silk and that was about 200 euro per meter. I let him know it was more than I could afford and he showed me the "cheaper" fabrics.
As I said before I came across it by accident on my way to my favorite gelato shop, but once I walked in I couldn't leave without buying something. It's not self service. A store clerk will pull bolts of fabric from the shelves for you.
