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 The owner Jenny was supervising every meeting and completely emotionally withdrawn from the situation offering no solutions or recommendations.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.

When you do find the entrance the first room seems derelict and abandoned. Then you enter into a bigger room with lots of pottery and ceramics around. People moving the pieces around. And you ask someone about fabrics, they point to the back of the showroom with racks and racks of fabric. The fabric is nice. Lots and lots of bolts. So I went to ask for a few yards and the man who helped me said he doesn't sell anything less than 20 yards. In fact he was pushing for me to buy an entire bolt. 100+ yards! Who needs 100 yards of green mesh? I don't have the space for that much material! He wouldn't budge. Wouldn't give me just a few yards. I had to walk away. Marched myself to Joann's and got 2 yards and saved myself $80! Sheesh!

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.

It is actually night and day. This is a stand alone store in Miami's design district. It has a private parking lot which is huge in downtown. I loved the organization and the clutter less aisles. There is lots of space to move freely (those who shop for fabric know what I'm talking about) Fabric is placed by group. Your uber expensive and moderate priced fabrics are on the lower level. Your cheaper, more commonly used fabric are on the second level. Associates were very nice and helpful. My only "complaint" is that you can literally spend here all day looking at these amazing fabrics. It's not a complain at all. I will definitely be back.
