I had a bridesmaid dress hemmed here. The women working were incredibly friendly and efficient. My dress was done in a week (i was not in a rush but it seems like they could have easily accommodated a shorter turn around) and was well done. The price was also incredibly reasonable. read more

A Gem! This little, family runned, almost hidden tailor, fabric, notions and trimmings shop is just priceless. The ladies are kind, patient and know their trade well. The prices are unbeatable. I go there often since moving to NJ. Once I had a vintage fur coat that had terrible damage and she fixed it by hand for $55! Absolutely impecable workmanship. read more

Been to a ton of different tailors in the Hoboken/JC area and this is by far the cheapest and can't tell any difference in the equality of the work. For instance, to tailor a men's blazer it usually costs me $60-$70 at places in downtown Hoboken. Here it is $30 and the service is great. Highly recommend read more

Highly recommend! When I called to inquire, the lady was very friendly on the phone. I wanted my wedding reception dress to be a bit shorter, however there weren't much time but they delivered it!! I'm so happy with their service and skills!! read more

Great job hemming a mother-of-the groom dress. The price was reasonable and the dress was exactly on time.

Quick, straightforward, and amazing service with consistently great results. Incredible pricing and always meets deadlines.

Very rudes. No customer service manners whatsoever. Was kept waiting over ten minutes before someone came to me. Gave me about one minute of her time then disappeared again. Waited another 5 minutes before i left. BEYOND RUDE VERY UNAMERICAN!!!! read more

I really had to fix my jeans before they ripped off but I did not want to drive more than 5 min . Where to go? Well I drove down central av and stopped by the bank of america branch, right around the corner you will find alma fabric, a really cozy, organized and spacious store. I think only locals know about because there was no yelp link and even elsewhere on the internet. Well I took my pair of jeans here and they quickly took care of me and told me that they would be ready in 2 days. Only $8 for a hem, not a bad deal. This place does everything ranging from hemming to stitching to waist alterations. They also sell fabrics and thread. Really enjoy being a customer here, my clothes are definitely looking better. I really hope this place can keep striving and getting more recognized after more people visit this place. read more

Saida Fabric - Alma fabric - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

I ordered a bridesmaid dress online that didn't fit once I received it( too small). The online foreign company didn't want to refund or exchange me and it was going to be a hassle. I looked up tailor/alterations near me and found this place. I figured it wouldn't hurt to see if they can do the work and was hoping it'd be affordable. They did an amazing job! She called me back in two days and the dress was sized perfectly for me and it was very affordable. Highly recommend! And all the ladies were sweet there also. read more

I saw my friend post about this fabric/alterations store on Instagram and knew I had to check it out. I took 3 jumpsuits to be tailored. They are from H&M and they fit but not great. So Ms. Alma and her team altered them to perfection! It's as if they were made for my body!!! I have found my new fabric/alterations place. They are kind and take their time to understand what you want. I don't even live near Jersey City but I go there just for Alma's and you should too! read more

I LOVE this place! It's well priced, quick turnaround, and great work! Alma herself is even there most of the time. Super friendly staff, my things always come out perfect! I tell all of my girlfriends about this place. read more

Alma and her staff were amazing from start to finish! They made my little girls dream come true from a simple photo. Best seamstress in the tri-state area!!! Highly recommend them for all your party needs! Quick turn around, professionalism and very reasonably priced for the quality!!! read more

A friend from work recommended this place and she was a JC native. I brought 1 coat to have my lining fixed, another jacket and kid's sweater to have the zipper changed/fixed, my chunky beret to have the bungee strings around it replaced so it would stay on my head again (lol)...and probably something else I'm forgetting. Totally worth it. They did an amazing job! Thank you so much!! read more

I absolutely love this Fabric store! Alma is incredibly knowledgeable and instrumental in having a great experience at her shop. I've visited various Fabric stores and they've attempted to sell me just about anything unlike Alma which takes the time in educating her customer and ensures you feel valued. The selection of Fabric is quite extensive and comparable to larger stores. Strongly urge you give her shop a whirl and you certainly will not be disappointed. read more

Located on 5 Zabriskie street, awesome selection for a neighborhood fabric store. Friendly service, great prices and they also provide tailoring services here. The down side is that there is only street parking which sometimes makes it difficult. read more

I just took two sundresses in to get altered, and although I haven't gotten them back yet I'm going to go ahead and give five stars for the caring service and also for the fabric store portion of the business. There's SO MUCH stuff here! sparkly trim, sequins, tulle, animal print spandex, cute fabric for kids' curtains, five colors of disco dot fabric, zippers galore, gingham, lame', so many different materials. I'm so happy to know this is in my neighborhood! read more

Thank you Alma & the ladies at Alma's Fabric for helping me execute my vision for my wedding day! Having already been duped in the past by the poorly tailored scams on internet dress company's, I needed someone I could personally check in with & save time! In 8 weeks Alma created my maid of honors dress, 2 flower girl dresses & the runner I walked on to meet my husband! Alma patiently nicked & tuck at all my requests & we worked together on the best options that would give my runner a luxe look with a custom "M" monogram to boot! I was a very happy bride! Thank You ladies! read more

See all

Went in here for the first time on a budget to fix my high school prom dress. She altered my prom dress for $10 FIVE years ago. The lady could not speak English well but I'm glad that did not scare me away. Still can't forget how sweet, precise and quick she was with my dress fitting. It came out beautifully! Can't believe I was going to take my dress to get it altered in NYC and spend a fortune. read more

They have a good enough variety of fabrics and sewing materials. The prices are pretty cheap as well. Parking can be difficult to find.

I've been a usual here since Alma was located on Summit Ave. I had a small marriage ceremony in June and days before the big day I realized I needed some adjustments done. Bam! Done perfectly in two days. I'm always coming here too for when the school year begins. The kids are always needing the school insignia patches stitched on their shirts. read more
