Love the fabrics here! Awesome selections, high quality. Gilda was very knowledgeable and Jason was very helpful, he even gave me a discount. I really recommend it! read more

Best fabric store in south Florida!!!! The service is always amazing & everyone is always so helpful whether it's suggestions or alternate fabric advice. In my opinion this is the only fabric store with the best fabric out, from a variety of sequences to a plethora of silks and satins. I can always find what I need, what I want and a little inspiration every time I walk in. Not to mention they're loyal to their customers and offer a great selection of just about everything at prices that work for your individual budget. read more

My experience at Carol Fabrics was great. After walking into several other fabric stores prior on a Saturday afternoon, I was able to find a variety of fabrics that worked for my wedding theme within minutes. Jason is a BALL OF ENERGY to say the least, and when you first walk in he might just catch you off guard, but he's a world of knowledge about fabrics and is more than happy to answer questions and help guide you through your purchase...even if it means pointing you in the direction of a less expensive fabric. That's not just good service, but more importantly, that's great people. read more

My go to fabric store in downtown Miami :). I purchased my wedding dress fabric, bridesmaid robe fabric, and plenty of little projects from Jason. He's always super friendly and willing to work with all of the questions I have. I never feel ripped off after leaving, and almost always find exactly what I am looking for. Even when I was searching for the perfect bridal lace, Jason special ordered some and contacted me once it was in. Couldn't have done it without them! read more

I walked in to view, since there was a "sale" due to their renovation. There was no "sale" pricing, they have NO selection what so ever, but truly a hot mess of fabrics everywhere and extremely disorganized, not much changed since my previous PLENTY of visits. I am visiting Miami and figured I'll check out Downtown for some new fabrics for my line. I've been there numerous of times before when I lived in Miami for a period time and I interned for a well known Miami/ NY fashion designer. Back then it was pricey and his sale prices still were, still robbing you in your face. He was always a bit standoffish but today he tried to offer me a "special price" if I bought the rest of his left over 5yds, "since he's never seen me before" that I mentioned plenty of times, I was not interested in buying. Since I disagreed to buy his "sale" price, he was extremely rude about it and blatantly showed it when I said no thank you. He speaks like a car sales man, and doesn't even have quality of fabric and selections, it's all over priced and will change the marked priced on the fabric in your face. You're better off going to Nuñez Fabrics, which is at a much reasonable pricing and with MUCH greater respect and quality of fabrics with a better and varied selection. Plus, you won't be treated like crap if you're not interested in buying his over priced left overs. Rude, and if I could I'd rate a 0!!!! read more

The blonde lady in the register is usually very rude and ill tempered. Also, they are EXPENSIVE! This time there was an older gentleman taking care of the costumers, so I thought I would go and seek for help from him, but he wasn't any better! I showed him a gold sequin top and asked him if he had a similar fabric, and he asked me how many yards I needed, I said 1, he then said "We do have it but we don't have time for you right now, go to other stores or come back later, we have other costumers to take care of". I obviously left and not planning on coming back anymore. I'm done with this place. Their costumer service is terrible. The store is very messy and there is hardly any space to walk. Luckily there is another fabric store next door and a couple more around the block and they were nice to me and helped me get what I needed :-) read more

Amazing selection of fabrics and trims....the service was the best!!! They are all so friendly and knowledgeable and eager to help you. As a designer I appreciated the personal attention and the abilty of the staff to know exactly what my needs were and able to find exactly what I came for. I highly recommend going to this fabric store especially for the prices and the selection!!!!! Its my new favorite!!! read more

I stopped in at Carol Fabrics recently while shopping for fabric for my wedding dress. The whole reason we stopped in there at all was because my mom was reminiscing on how it was her route home from school when she was little and she had known the owner quite well a few years ago. 1. First things first: It smelled as if, surely, at least 1 rat died in there. The only question was...what rack of fabric was this rat buried under? 2. The main guy who was helping us at first was nice and attentive but went on and on about how their prices and inventory was so much better than the place we just bought fabric from and about how they were renovating to make space for all their inventory. It wouldn't have annoyed me as much if he had just mentioned this once. But he bragged about it over and over again to us and to people around us. 3. The kicker: My mom asked about her old-time friend. Low and behold, she was standing just a few feet away. My mom approached her and the lady was so rude. First acted like she had no recollection of her. Then she took over helping us look at materials and when my mom asked her for a price of a fabric the lady responded very rudely. Something along the lines of "I don't play games. If its $200 then its $200. People like to play games. You want me to play games with you? ok. It's $500 but i'll give it to you for $200." My mom just replied, "I'm not asking you for a discount. I am just asking the price." We left without mentioning anything about their lack of customer service but I wish I would have. At least I can tell everyone else on Yelp! read more

We walked in with a rough idea of what we wanted for our wedding decorations and Jason showed us around with a lot of patience and always listening to what we were looking for. He didn't pressure us to make a purchase we wouldn't be 100% happy with, and in the end we found just what we needed and went home very happy. Thanks again! read more

They are horrible and incredible rude. The female owner came running at us shouting "no pictures!" When we asked why she just yelled again "no pictures" and walked away. I tried to explain we were taking pictures for a disabled woman who is unable to make it to the store but she ignored us... the whole experience was soooo confusing. Mind you they DO NOT sell custom/one of a kind fabrics, this is all stuff you can buy online or at the other fabric stores in the neighborhood. So we won't be back read more

The customer service in this store is terrible and yes I'm speaking about the bald guy with the glasses. He is demeaning and rude. I went with my mom to look for wedding dress lace and every store let us just look at them/pull the stack out then ask questions. We get to this store and we start looking like in all the other stores. I saw one lace that looked interesting and pulled it out and showed my mom. The guy who was near me sounded nervous and told me that they don't like it when the fabrics get pulled out by non-staff members. Perfectly fine if that's their policy so I apologized and tried to put it back and he said to just leave it on the table and someone would help me. In comes the bald guy with glasses. First he tells me in a very rude manner that checking out lace on our own is against policy. Then he continues by comparing what I did to looking into a random lady's bag without permission. I was incredibly angry and was trying to calm myself from the how he had just scolded me like I was his child. I told him again that I didn't know but I had already been informed. He admitted he was snappy but only because someone stole from them before. Is that my problem? I understand their policy. I have no problems with it but how dare he talk to me in that manner?! A little courtesy goes a long way! Feel free to enforce any policy but make sure the delivery is not rude! It took a lot of energy to not walk out and the only reason I didn't was because my mom wanted to see the lace. This place is very disorganized and looks old. The owner seemed nice but he should probably hire people that have customer service skills. I continued to hear this guy talk to others and lets just say he isn't a pleasure. STAY AWAY. read more

I have being living in Miami for 5 years and I'm about to graduate from Art Institute in downtown Miami, and i can finally say that my search for fabric excellence and honeat deals is OVER! read more

Best fabric store in Miami! They have the best prices and an incredible variety of fabrics. I've been going for 5 years and I truly appreciate how attentive and caring they are with all their customers. The owner, Jason, is a funny guy with a great personality. I've seen people walk in with attitude and he treated them with even more respect and kindness. That is a true gentlemen right there! If you need any fabric go to Carols !!! read more

This is where I ended up finding fabric to make my wedding dress. The staff, Leroy and Gilda, were very, very helpful and friendly. It was an intimate setting, I got good advice, and they made me feel comfortable. This is a little place with loads of fabric. I Imagine it might be hard to browse, but since the staff are so helpful that is OK. They can made suggestions and lead you to what you need. Although I would up buying simple white peau de soie, they have some really cool and special stuff in there - so there's a good variet. I would highly recommend this shop. read more

I love this place! I came in with a picture of a dress I wanted and was helped right away. Jay was so helpful showing us so many different fabrics that would work great with my dress. Gilda gave us her expert knowledge in finalizing which fabric to narrow down for my baby shower dress. Can't wait to see the finished product. I will definitely be back they got a new customer for life. read more

Just what I needed in my life! :) I was so happy to find exactly what I had in mind for my projects. Having a particular eye for forecasted trends in fabric, I had just bought fabric at another downtown Miami fabric store, but found an even better one that I just couldn't turn down at Carols!. I was helped and received excellent genuine attention from not just one, but all three of the employees that were present that day. Being from Miami and a fashion student, I've seen them all and when it comes to best service and fabric quality and variety...I'd say go to Carols. Definitely. read more

Amazing and attentive customer service! Best selection I've ever seen and prices can't be beat !

Whenever I need to buy fabric and I want friendly service, I come to Carol fabrics. They're extremely helpful, Jason usually helps me out. They're prices are always reasonable, and they will work with you if you get a large quantity of a certain fabric! I love coming to Carols, they're the best in the downtown area! read more

Service was incredible Leroy helped us find a good fabric for a prom dress and included the prom discount. The variety of fabrics is incredible and Leroy matched the description of what we were looking for well. Would highly recommend using this place again read more

Carol Fabrics is my go to fabric store! Amazing quality fabrics, great staff, and the store is very clean and organized!

Wonderful place. Very friendly and incredibly helpful. We went in to find some lace to make sleeves for my sisters wedding dress, showed them a picture of what we wanted and what they pulled was perfect. We were in and out in 10 minutes. read more

Stumbled upon this store while visiting Miami. Oh my! Living in a fabric desert as I do (only store selling fabric within a reasonable drive is a craft shop whose name rhymes with "Sobby Bobby"), can't pass up an opportunity to get my "fix". This store has it all - beautiful designer fabrics, great customer service, and fair prices. I was in the market for silk charmeuse, solid linen for a bias dress, and checking out their scuba knits. They also carry wool suitings, lycra, cottons, polys, fancy couture fabrics, embellished lace, you name it. Jason took great care of me, quickly got a sense of my taste, and appropriately directed me to what I loved, even bringing down a fabric for me to see that was not yet on the sales floor. And yes, I bought some of that one as well. They do not have an on line store, but Jason indicated that he could do phone orders with a video conference to demonstrate fabric appearance and qualities. I may just take him up on that! Only down side of this store is that it is so far away from my home... read more

Jason has helped me both times I've been to Carol in downtown Miami. He's not only super knowledgeable about fabric, he takes the time to explain how much fabric you will need for your specific dress and/or sewing project. Jason doesn't try to sell you just to sell, he really takes the time to help you find the one fabric that will go well with your skin tone, pattern and vision, and will be totally honest if you ask for his opinion! I have been looking for a particular "bling bling" green fabric for my daughter's wedding this winter and I've visited all the fabric stores in downtown Miami. I found the winner at Carol and just bought all my fabric today. I'm all set to get my special MOB dress made and all thanks to Jason who went above and beyond to help me with my dream dress. I highly recommend this fabric store if you're in downtown Miami. But if you're not, it's totally worth the trip. Tell Jason that the MOB in green velvet & green "bling bling" sent you! read more

Jason was very knowledgeable . We came in a clueless to check fabrics for a PROM dress. They took their time explaining and educating us in the diferent fabrics and helped us decide on alternatives to fit our budget without feeling pressured. Excellent prices as well. read more

I travel from Michigan (Metro Detroit) to come to Carol Fabrics. Jay and Gilda are so helpful. They always take the time to make sure I find exactly what I need. If they don't have what I'm looking for, then they will make other suggestions. In addition, both are very knowledgeable with the various textiles. Carol Fabrics is one of my top places to go to when I come to Miami! read more

My partner and I have been going to Carol Fabrics for the last five years. This is a family buisness run by John, Gilda, and their son Jason. They have always been more than helpful in assisting us to find the fabrics we need even if it involves running upstairs to the huge storage floor and bringing down bolt after bolt to show us. They are extremely knowing and caring with their clients. I have always been quoted accurate prices on each and every fabric and realized that by trusting them have saved more than I might have by shopping at other stores. We trust them and have done quite a bit of comparison shopping in the neighborhood. My partner is a costume and dress designer so we make trips there and buy in bulk a couple of times a year and have never been dissappointed. Like everything in life there are times when you have to be patient when you are buying quantities and there may only be two people in the shop to handle the volume of customers who may rush in and need a small item fast. Our patience has always been rewarded. I also have to say that anyone who calls these people rude must be having a "bad day" themselves. I have seen them being supportive to all the people in their neighborhood and community just in their shop. We highly recommend this store to all our friends on a regular basis. read more

My fiancé and I were looking for fabric for her bridesmaids dresses and came across this store. It was just about closing time but the owners were gracious enough to let us in. The staff was very helpful and very knowledgeable. Whomever said that fabric shopping was boring never went to this store. The owner and her son made our experience fun with the endless jokes all the while taking care of our needs. I would recommend anyone who is fabric shopping for anything to first visit this store, you would not regret it!! read more

I have nothing but great things to say about Carol Fabrics. The people who work there are very friendly and extremely knowledgeable and helpful. They have a wide selection of fabrics and are very decently priced! I highly recommend shopping there. read more

I have a new BFF in Miami! I was in town from Seattle last week for a business conference. I usually seek out a local fabric store and bring something back for an outfit that i will remember from my trip. There were a few fabric stores on the same street and as soon as i walked into this one i didn't look any further. This is a family owned business that has been in operation since 1962 and seemed to know the history of every bolt in the store and where they had purchased it. Gilda, the owner and i quickly bonded over perusing pictures of clothing i had made from my Instagram account. They were all participating in helping me hunt down fabrics i might like, it's like a treasure chest - you have to dig around a bit but there is lots to discover. The collection of linens, silks and wools was awesome. I had a limited amount of time so i came back by Uber again the next day on my way to the airport and they stored my luggage while i shopped. I wish I had a fabric store like this in my town. read more
