I am looking for a source for a polyester/lycra blend gabardine, and have had a really hard time finding this fabric. I have found polyester gabardines at Hancocks fabric, but would really like to find something with some lycra in it. Does anyone have any ideas?

try fabric.com. They've got a ton of lycra blend fabrics.
Yes, I have checked there, and they don't have anything.
Try Christene Johnson Fabrics, cjpatterns.com. She has very nice fabrics, all with Spandex or lycra.

alibaba.com is a global trade website that does carry some stretch gabardine. Check under the "Textiles" category, then look under "Stretch" or "Lycra."
