    BEST FABRIC STORE IN MIAMI. Three floors of fabric to choose from, exclusive fabrics you can only find at Carol Fabrics and the owner of the store is so personable and offers outstanding customer service. I made an outfit out of one of their exclusive fabrics and to my surprise it was black light reflective!!! I'm obsessed.

    Rounder at entrance
    A C.

    After visiting neighboring fabric stores, my friend and I visited Carol's. We were greeted at the entrance by a rounder of discounted fabrics of varying types, colors, and lengths. We should've known we'd be in for something special when we found scraps displayed for sale (smh). When we entered, there was fabric literally everywhere with no real order. The most disappointing was there was no pricing on a lot of it. The woman behind the counter was initially pleasant but the longer we stayed in the store and the more we questioned her about the pricing, the shorter she was with us. My friend requested 5 yards of b/w challis and 5 yards of multi colored challis both of which were cut short. I got 1/2 yard of a scuba knit which was on a roll instead of bolt. I offered to assist her with cutting my piece to ensure accuracy since it can be "fun" cutting from a roll. She declined saying she had years of experience and could do it by sight and guess what: my piece was cut short. Before leaving, I fell in love with an awesomely vibrant fuchsia knit that was measured and priced to sell. The price tag had been stapled to the fabric and the top layers of the fabric was stapled together. Because there was a run near the tag, I was a bit nervous about removing the staples. I expressed that and the young man who joined her behind the counter asked the woman if it was ok if the staples were removed first. Boy did that send her into a tizzy. The young guy re-explained what I wanted which seemed to calm her down.. Long story short, I won't be back! Pros: - none Cons: - tiny store with fabric crammed in every corner - no pricing. lady at the conter seemingly makes up prices when asked about the price of a particular fabric - expensive - fabric is filthy. when I got my scuba knit back to the hotel, I noticed one end was disgustingly dirty. I wanted to take it back but the entire experience with her was draining. - fabric is not cut accurately

    True selvage. The other selvage was whacked off unevenly

    I'm writing to share my experience with Rex Fabrics. This is the first google review I have ever…read moreposted. I am so profoundly disturbed by my experience there I had to take the time to share it with others who might be thinking of shopping there or using their dress making services. DON'T!!! Our experience was quite appalling. My daughter is getting married and we went to Rex to purchase fabric for my Mother of the Bride dress. During the fabric selection process, the salesperson explained they also make dresses and would give a discount on the fabric if you have them make your dress. When starting the process they explained we would first come for measurements, the second fitting was to try on the "shell fabric" that would be a mockup of the dress. That is the first moment we should have been concerned. We spent considerable time explaining to them the shell did not fall correctly and the seamstress clearly was struggling to figure out how to make it work. We had to offer our own suggestions and offer modifications. The owner Jenny was supervising every meeting and completely emotionally withdrawn from the situation offering no solutions or recommendations. She did not care whatsoever that we would ultimately get the dress of our dreams. She is cold and all business. The next fitting was with the actual dress and then we knew we were in trouble. It did not resemble anything like the model we shared. It looked awful and they basically told us, take it or leave it. They said we used up our three fittings and they insisted they made the dress exactly as shown. IT WAS NOTHING LIKE THE MODEL. It looked terrible and my daughter explained that I only have one daughter and how important this dress was for the wedding. They did not care. It was obviously a pure business transaction for them. They have no business offering these services as they do not have the qualified seamstresses on staff or supervision. I decided I was not going to even fight for another fitting because I had zero confidence the seamstress knew what she was doing. Long story short, we took it to someone we have come to meet who is a highly experienced dress maker and immediately she explained they completely cut the dress incorrectly. The new seamstress said, what is done is done but I will still make it beautiful and she proceeded to make modifications. We picked up the dress yesterday and it is stunning!! I am so happy this new person created a beautiful dress I will be proud and thrilled to wear at my daughter's wedding....but it also cost me more money to achieve the result Rex should have done in the first place. In closing I truly want to warn others who might be considering working with Rex for dress making services.

I was pleasantly surprised, finding such a wide variety of different materials from textiles, ribbons, feathers, buttons, sequins, fabric, beads, lace, and much more. I can't believe it's the first time I visit, and it certainly won't be the last because I am very crafty and I enjoy do it yourself projects. This store is great for purchasing materials for special creations.

    I came to Miami to see some doors and windows at a showroom not too far from La Retacera ( which…read moremeans something like; she who has remnants). Those who know me know that I am addicted to buying fabric and I'm always looking for new places. I found this place through an Internet search and off I went. It is located in a very busy shopping plaza in Doral. Drivers around the parking lot are not very courteous and I witnessed a few "almost accidents" One must exercise caution and keep their eyes peeled when driving in this parking lot. The store itself it's not that big, narrow and long. It does have a lot of fabric. They have ryons, lycra, brocade, polyester, cotton, upholstery etc.. A good variety. It is run by two sweet old ladies that every time I brought something and set it on the counter to purchase, they would talk about what they could do with it, what they saw people doing with it, and what would look good made with it. It was the cutest thing. Then they would of course ask me what I intended to do with it and then proceed to talk about it for a bit. I would've taken more pictures if I wasn't so distracted by them. I loved it. The fabric seemed to be organized by price more than by type. Although all brocades and upholstery were in the same area. All other fabric seem to be arranged by price. I was told by the ladies who I think are also the owners, that the store has been there for the past 43 years. That is actually incredible. I don't know how much fabric people actually buy. I know now with all of the DIYers out there, and the mask craze last year, more fabric is being sold now. Hopefully this will help all these little brick and mortar places. I am very happy with my purchases and with the service. If I was not in such a rush, I would have stayed longer to hear these interact more.
