I haven't had any trouble with ordering from overseas (obviously at the moment the Fabric Store aren't shipping though). I've only had to pay taxes a handful of times out of dozens of orders and it was about £20-25 for an order of $200NZD. The shipping is free when you order that much at once so I figure the duties are worth it for such gorgeous fabrics at what I think are very good prices for the quality. Paying the taxes is very easy to do online and the delivery was still really quickFiona Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02009622644944619042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8566831796183567008.post-89651952144693512872020-04-22T12:39:49.334+01:002020-04-22T12:39:49.334+01:00Now I've made one I can't stop thinking ab...Now I've made one I can't stop thinking about all the other versions I want to make!

It offers a variety of styles. I also am not a fan of elastic waist and replace the elastic with the yoga waistband. Since I wear my shirts out ie, untucked, the yoga waistband does not show. I love your fabric and those pockets are great!<br />Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15716636015582966847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8566831796183567008.post-57076043069688348352020-03-10T07:07:29.461+00:002020-03-10T07:07:29.461+00:00Those are very stylish!
