Alternatives to Joann's Jet Set fabric

[JMC]

Hi,

Happy New Year everyone!

Can anyone recommend an alternative to Joann's jet set fabric? I want to try a more traditional mego figure and need to find the closest thing to the fabric mego used.

Honestly, I think Jet set is currently the closest thing available to Mego--closer than the micro-knit Mattel is using.

I think vintage knit clothing would be your other option...

You might also try dancewear.

Joann's doesn't have all the colors I want in Jet set so I needed an alternative.

Yes, the colors at JA are limited; the best time to find a variety is at Hallowee'en & also check out clearance Hallowe'en costumes at Wal-Mart, Target, etc.

Many costumes are actually made of Jet Set. If you buy a L or XL, you can get a few suits out of each.

(I'm having trouble finding orange/marigold.)


Regarding dancewear, you'll want the polyester knit kind, not the kind with lycra/spandex.
