Samples

Browse our extensive fabric stock and order free samples

Lady McElroy Fabrics’ provides you with the opportunity to see and feel the samples of the fabrics you are interested in, helping you to make the right choice from the extensive range.

Generally, our samples measure approximately 10cm x 15cm. If a bigger sample is necessary to display the pattern repeat on the fabric a larger sample will be cut.

Although every effort is made to ensure a true likeness is presented in the fabric images, we strongly advise that you take advantage of our convenient sample swatch and sample length service to ensure that you are fully satisfied with your purchase. In the unlikely event that we are unable to provide one or more of your sample choices, we will substitute with a similar alternative to the fabric you have chosen.

Sample orders are currently being dispatched within 5 working days of order, and are usually sent via Royal Mail, unless placed with other products, in which case they may be sent by an alternative courier.

Please note that working days do not include: Weekends and Public Holidays.

The sample swatch service is in place on most products, to assist you in choosing the perfect fabrics for your requirements, and to avoid misunderstandings and queries arising when viewing products on a device screen in which colours and textures may appear different. Where a sample is not available to order such as on a sale item, remnant, or reduced item, then the minimum sample-length amount which can be ordered is 0.5 metre. It is still our recommendation to order this as a ‘sample piece’ for the reasons stated above. Please note that samples and sample lengths are non-refundable.
