There also aren't a lot of employees to go to for help or who will come up to you asking if you need help. But I did go on a Saturday, so maybe they were just busy. I did see a lot of dressy fabrics, so if that's what you're looking for then maybe you'll get lucky here.

**************A SEAMSTRESS DREAM*************************…read moreLORD HAVE MERCY, a dream come true. I had never heard of this place before I stepped foot in it to make a masterpiece. I had actually visited on Good Friday and they were closed. I live in Katy and it was a 30 minute drive. I was upset but kind of my fault because you should always call a new place first before visiting. I pulled up and saw no cars and was surely disappointed. I politely got back in my car and decided I would visit another day. Well the following week I decided to visit because I needed to drop shoes off at the shoe shop. I walked in and felt like I was dreaming. It was such a variety of material it was unreal. I am not a seamstress but I have a creative vein for making a masterpiece. I decided to take my time and walk around and observe, look and allow my creative juices to flow. Then an angel appeared CLAUDIA, she was the sweetest girl ever. She answered all of my questions, offered expertise knowledge and helped me sort through many different options. Of course a creative person never makes choices overnight. So I left the store and told her I would return soon. The following week I returned with more choices and the need to make a final decision. When she seen the masterpiece she was floored. She then proceeded to talk about her mother's 50th birthday. It was funny because I am preparing for my 50th birthday and I was sharing with her that I don't mind sharing information with her as well to make her mother's event a success. What impressed me the most is all of the staff are welcoming to all ages and race along with being bilingual. I am always disgusted when I walk into an establishment and no one speaks ENGLISH which is the first language in HOUSTON. They are all nice and helpful CLAUDIA, stood out to me because she helped me personally. She was absolutely amazing. She gave hands on expertise and was very patient and kind. It was my first time in the store and she made me feel welcome. Her energy and poise were unmatched. I am looking forward to shopping at this establishment again.

When I arrived, I was grateful to see reserved parking spaces right in front. I was not eager to tackle Rice Village parking, so this convenience was a benefit for me. Upon walking in, I asked where I could find some potentially matching fabric and the salesgirl was so helpful! She pointed me in the right direction. Since I was looking for white fabric, she recommended I take the fabric outside in the sun to make sure it matches (can't trust white with the florescent lights!). That greatly helped, as the first fabric I thought would work ended up not matching at all once I took it in the sun. After a few tries, I found a fabric that was perfect! If in need of fabric, I definitely recommend coming to Universal Fabric Center. Lots of options to choose from and great service!

Yes this place is pricy, but you'll definitely find what you need here.

I'm not familiar with their operations but looks simple. Over half of the shop is all fabric displays. I had to ask to see something for men. I told the lady my size. I wear 44-46 in Indian wear. She gave me a 46 and it was kind of big. Then, she started to bringing smaller sizes. I finally found 44 being the best fit. Then, I asked for dark red or maroon color. Ah, perfect. I just needed to reduce my middle-aged men's belly to get the right look. I was pretty happy with my purchase. She was quick to find me what I wanted. I hope to bring my coworkers here to shop. Oh, it's located on the second floor near Biryani Factory side of hallway after escalators. Plenty of parking in the garage. Storefront is not quite visible from the street. If you can see Biryani Factory then you're at the right mall.

I truly can't put into words how grateful I am for Ramesh Bhai at Sari Sapne! We have been…read morecustomers of his for decades, but he still continues to amaze me with his ability to design outfits that match my vision perfectly. Recently we ordered multiple outfits for my son's wedding, including the bridal lehenga, groom's sherwani, and outfits for my daughter's family including both grandchildren. We described what we wanted for each outfit and Ramesh Bhai's designs surpassed our vision for EVERY single piece! We couldn't decide which outfit we liked the best because we truly loved each one equally! The bridal lahenga was gorgeous. What amazed me further was how stunning the groom's sherwani was! It was unique, modern, and masculine. Everyone raved about how cute and unique my granddaughter's cape lahenga was, and my grandson's sherwani made him look like a prince! Ramesh Bhai also did a superb job designing our son-in-law's groom sherwani 10 years ago. My son-in-law requested a unique sword design for his wedding outfit and Ramesh Bhai (and his staff) custom designed a stunning cover for the sword. His staff even stayed after store hours working on it and it ended up being one of the focal points of their wedding! We are so honored that Ramesh Bhai played such an integral role in both my son's and daughter's weddings. All the outfits for both weddings are a testament of Ramesh Bhai's unique talent!!!

So mere weeks later (less than a month), I returned with the outfit to try to exchange as I found a much better lehenga online that had been more what I was looking for but figured I could use store credit on an outfit for my partner for the event. At first an employee said "we only do exchanges within 1-2 months of purchase". Then I showed her it hadn't even been a month. Then the story changed and now they don't do exchanges at all. Why lie? Multiple times? We will not be back. I expect there to be shenanigans at these stores honestly but to lie and have that lie change again and again to suit the store is concerning.

They don't just have ribbon--they have a ribbon room. They don't just have ornaments--they have an ornament room. Same for wreathes/garland as well as picks/sprays/branches. They have large items too, such as sleighs, artificial trees, and shopping mall quality vibrant statues/characters/displays. Most things are well-priced, however the large unique items will cost you much more than most of us will want to pay. Would I compare this place to the decorators warehouse up in Arlington/DFW?--absolutely. Both are awesome for Christmas decor.

I discovered the place through my friend, Greg Buchold. I had been admiring a Mardi Gras mask and wreath that he had put on his door and he told me about the place.

Just when I think I've seen everything there is to see in Houston, something new pops up on my radar. Check out the photos.
