    I think you'll have luck searching for it in fabric stores as opposed to quilt stores. I've seen it at Fabric Depot, and they have an online store, but the search engine for it is horrible. I recommend calling or emailing the customer service department and asking. They have excellent customer service, and online orders are almost always 30% off.

    thanks everyone from what I googled and see they still make dotted swiss but of course not like before with the fuzzy dots from what I found looks like embroidery French knots through the fabric or just printed dots. I too remember having a yellow easter dress made from that fabric and I just loved those fuzzy dots I had planed on making a pink easter dress for a friends gd .

    I know for a fact that the Swiss dot fabric at Hancocks has the fuzzy dots, not embroidered french knots or printed on the fabric.

    Another idea is to check thrift shops. I've seen this type of fabric in ladies blouses. Although it has larger "dots".
