He's not pushy and he lets you take your time to look for exactly what you need. Like the other reviewers said: -Call ahead, if he doesn't answer, leave a message, he'll call you back. -Once you find the place, it's on the third floor, follow the paper signs. -If he doesn't answer the door on the first knock, knock harder (he might be in the back helping other people). He takes card, but prefers cash.

TL;DR - shop here for your weird stretchy fabric needs but wait for coupons…read more I have been a long time customer at Spandex World (10+ years mostly online orders but a few stops at their old brick and mortar in the garment district). I will always recommend this store when a client wants something stretchy that can't be sourced locally and I have had mostly good experiences over the years. I have a bad habit of impulsively buying weird prints and basics, to the point that I might as well consider fabric shopping as a second hobby. Anyway. Things you'll find at Spandex World - bright funky prints, mesh, solid knits, stretch velvet, stretch lace, stretch denim, sequins, stretch PVC, milliskin, mystique... Things I've made from Spandex World's fabrics - dance costumes (SO MANY DANCE COSTUMES), activewear, damn near indestructible pants from their heavyweight Ponte di Roma (seriously holding up for years of regular wear and washing), a LOTR style wedding dress from stretch velvet, a fembot costume using stretch PVC... Things to think about before ordering - they run sales really regularly. Basically every holiday (even minor ones) and then sometimes "just because" there's a promo code, so sign up for their newsletter before placing your order. Coupon codes never apply to clearance (which is usually a pretty solid deal as is). The only reason I'm docking a star is because of old customer service issues when I was ordering online. At one point in time I needed some stupid amount of one fabric and inquired about larger quantity discounts (this was before they implemented the wholesale tab, which still is a very small selection). The pricing wasn't the greatest so I just waited for their Black Friday sale to order 30 yards and then the Christmas sale to order another 32 when my client decided to double up after the first pieces were delivered. The other issue I had was when I ordered two fabrics that clearly coordinated on the site (eggplant mesh and eggplant sequins), I received a burgundy mesh and a bright purple sequin. If I was going for flashy clowns it would have been ok. It took multiple back and forth emails with photos for them to relent and send me the right fabrics because they claimed they might not show correctly online. Either way I would expect the two to at least coordinate, i.e. 2 purple or 2 burgundy fabrics, since the same equipment was used for the product photos. They did end up sending me the correct materials (check the photo of the dress :)) and eventually a shipping label to return the incorrect fabrics. It sucked because my turn around was really tight for a showcase in South Korea so I wouldn't have been able to just easily ship it to the final destination if I couldn't get it in my client's hands in time.

Much to my surprise as this is not a large store, I found lovely fabric and some of it was outdoor quality. I brought two different materials that complemented each other.

Ok here was my experience;…read more So I randomly found this store because I needed some cotton-spandex fabric for a project of mine. Parking for the shop is rough even when I was there at 10:30am so you'll probably have to park far or you can take mass transit so you won't have to worry about parking. As I entered the compact store it was luckily empty (I hate crowded stores). I wasn't greeted or anything which was odd but, I found Angel near the back end corner of the store too busy with something else and didn't pay me any mind. I doubt he even knew I was there until I asked him where cotton-spandex fabric would be. So the customer service was lacking. A great thing was there was A LOT of fabric to choose from, but I do wish he would take some time to label and organize the fabrics. It will not only be easier to look for certain fabrics but will look a lot more cleaner and professional! The prices were so/so and I ended up finding a thicker black wool-spandex fabric for 15 bucks a yard because I couldn't find what I wanted, 2 spools of black thread, and 2 zippers. In the end, I would say I'll go back because of a good and diverse selection but a little organization goes a long way! I'm sure next time I'll find some great fabrics.
