I for one would not order fabric online. I like to be able to examine the materials in person, and see if the quality is there, what the colors are really like, and if it is appropriate for what I want to make.
Fabric shops are all over the place and not hard to find, and you can get wonderful goods even from many of the cheaper ones.
Jo-Ann's and Hancock's are the major chains, and are actually very good, but I also like to shop from independent retailers. There's a local one here in Kansas City which deals principally with fine quality suitings and fabrics for formal wear.
If you are having clothes custom made, it is best to go shopping for fabric with your dressmaker if possible. That way you will be assured of getting the right materials for the jobs in the correct quantity.
