Sewing fabric

In the old days I could go to local high street and pick up some material to make clothes for my children and myself.

Today this has all but gone. There is lots of cloth on-line but the names mystify me, I want bit of stretch but not stretchy and not too thin to make a tunic type top.

Any ideas anyone?

I'm lucky as I live in London and there are still some great fabric shops and markets within a reasonable distance. I love dressmaking and am a fabricaholic and love buying fabric. I went to visit my brother in Italy and managed to come home with half a suitcase full of fabric.
