I literally could hear the angels sing when I stepped in to this store. I have been sewing since…read moremy teens, which now has been over 50 years. I know a good specialty fabric store when I am in one. I have been to the stores in the Garment District in NYC and Promenade Fabrics is far superior then any of them. Especially in price, selection, and customer service! There is nothing in the NYC garment district that comes even close to the Southern hospitality you are encased in while shopping here. If you don't see what you're looking for then ask! I'm not a gambling person but I'd lay some serious money they'll find it for you. They have the most exquisite fabrics I have ever seen along with vintage French lace and ribbons, and exotic buttons. What appears to be a small store just goes on and on with wonderful treasures of which you would be very hard pressed to find anywhere else in the USA. Hector, the establishment creator and owner, is the most quintessential Southern gentleman and he greets every customer who comes through the shop door. I am originally from Mobile, Alabama and my encounter with Hector harkened back to the days of personal service without any overbearing selling. He wanted me to have a good time while I was there. He showed me fabrics that literally brought tears to my eyes to see. He made me feel at ease asking to see one right after the other of the specialty fabrics located at the back of the store. These fabrics are handled only by the store staff. For a reason. They are delicate, actually very delicate, and exquisite doesn't begin to describe their beauty. (Think Halle Berry's dress when she won the Oscar in 2002). They have high end fabrics from Dolce and Gabbana and many other designers. If you are a seamstress or simply a fabric hoarder (which I think I have become over the years) then I can't even begin to recommend this store highly enough if you are ever in NOLA and have the opportunity to visit. I wholeheartedly agree with each of the other reviews. Do not go in without some serious cash or a good amount of available credit on your credit card as this is a seamstress' temptress of fabrics!! Thank heavens they have an Etsy store: https://www.etsy.com/shop/PromenadeFabrics since I live in Sedona, AZ and can't go to this store everyday of the year that they are open in New Orleans. If I could, I would BUT rest assured that when I win the big megamillion lottery there will be lots and lots of fabric added to my sewing room from Promenade Fabrics.

They do have quite a selection of home goods, furniture and decorations, but all of it is quite over priced in my opinion. There is a large shared parking lot, and the store is in the middle of a strip mall. Walking in, you are not greeted. The aisles are wide, with plenty of room to move around. In the back is an area where you can have someone frame a photo or artwork. They do have some kitsch, and they have a large selection of my favorite laundry additive, so I do have a place close to come for that. They have a large selection for crafting items of all types, and a selection of clearance items that are the better part of 2 aisles. They do not have much of a selection of local crafts, which is something I would like to see locally owned stores having, so that is disappointing. Most of the items are mass produced. It's nice to look at, but there are better values to be made elsewhere, even at the national chain stores.

I've been lost since my favorite costume shop in the Warehouse District closed a couple years ago…read more At least until I discovered Uptown Costume. Great selection, fair pricing and outstanding customer service! In addition to just about any costume you can imagine, they have accessories, props, wigs and makeup to fit any budget. All three ladies working today were beyond accommodating while we tried on several different costumes and made our final selections. We'll be back. Definitely worth a trip uptown.

The staff is pretty friendly and knowledgeable. When they see me they head stead the they can cages to unlock them and if you see there's one color completely out of stock, well I'm sorry it was probably me.

I stopped in today to donate bolts of upholstery fabric that had been given to me but weren't what I needed. Now someone else can get use of the fabric. They also do a once a month fabric recycling program - for a small monetary donation - for fabric /clothes that can't be reused. One less thing in a landfill! So if you need some quilting pieces or want to make a pillow or just talk sewing far from a corporate big box store, this might be the place for you.
