Tony’s Fabrics

I too had a bridesmaid’s dress in need of some serious help. Rosy basically had to take the dress apart and remake it to get it to fit. She also hemmed it for me. I previously paid over $ 80 just to have a similar dress shortened but Rosy only charged me $ 30 for the whole thing! Amazing! I had to call a few times to follow up and on the day that I was told to come and pick it up it wasn’t ready so I had to wait about half and hour but really, for $ 30 it was fine. Her daughter was there when I brought the dress in and she speaks perfect English so that helped a lot but be prepared with some key phrases because Rosy doesn’t speak much English herself.

Last year I stumbled upon this place while my mother and I were looking for fabric for my bridal purse. But to our surprise we found more than just fabric. We found two of the best seamstress Miami has to offer. It is a small shop filled with fabrics and ribbons of all sorts and in the back of the shop are the two seamstress working away at all of their creations.
It turns out that I not only had my bridal purse made by them but they also were the Seamstress for my whole bridal including my mom.
They work very well and very quickly. The price that they charge for there work is inexpensive (example: My moms dress; hem + fixing the dresses top= $ 12.00) No bridal store or seamstress would ever charge that any where else in Miami.
One warning though: make sure that you bring the shoes you will be wearing with the dress or outfit and any undergarments that go with the dress. They would prefer not to take any measurements with out shoes or undergarments this way they get it right the first time.
The speak only Spanish but one the ladies does speak a little bit of English. You’ll have problem communicating.
So check out Tony’s Fabrics for all of your fabric/​ribbon needs, upholstery’s and to have ANY alterations done on any garment.

I had to get a bridesmaid dress taken out and I had a difficult time trying to find a place that could do it for me without ruining the dress. You can trust just anyone with alterations. So I called a cousin who had gotten married last year and asked if she new of any seamstresses. She referred me to this place.
Tony’s Fabrics is a little hole in the wall fabric shop near the corner of SW 107^th Ave and Coral Way. I called and they said they could alter the dress for me. So I went, tried on the dress and the seamstress told me she would have the dress finished in 5 days. On the 6^th day I called, the dress wasn’t quite ready, but that was fine since I didn’t need the dress for another couple of weeks. So the 8^th day, I went and picked up the dress and it fit perfect.
Not only did the seamstress do a wonderful job, she only charged me $ 15.00. I was so shocked because she told me the dress was difficult to alter so she had to take the whole thing apart. I was expecting to pay $ 50.00 or more. So I gave her a fat tip instead.
Be warned, the accept cash only and they speak very little English. So if you only speak English like me, it is better for you to have a bilingual friend to assist you when you drop off your clothing so you’ll be able to tell her exactly what you want.
Thanks for the referral Gaby!
