Paradise Fabrics

Judy transformed my wedding dress into a masterpiece. What started out as a ¾ lace sleeve and appliqué on netting across the collar bone area, became a side angled shoulder strap and scooped neck gorgeous dress that still supported the low drop open back. Incredible and fantastic workman-​workwomanship.

Love this shop:) I have had a ball gown altered here and a bridesmaids dress. She also did an amazing job taking in my sisters wedding gown. Once she even made me some euro shams for my bed when I needed them. Consistently excellent work and I just love hanging out with her:). I drive all the way from Anthem to get things altered here and it’s worth it.

I’ve gone to Judee for a few alterations now… the most recent was my bridal gown. Judee did phenomenal work on my gown and I could not have been happier — she’s a true artist with a sewing needle!!! The bridal shop or designer had sized it incorrectly or the gown was marked wrong and it needed to be let out a little. The trick was the extensive hand beading and intricate detail work throughout the entire bodice. It also had a chapel train made of tulle and I wasn’t thrilled with doing a bustle. Judee suggested cutting the train off and making the entire gown one length and that’s what we did. I got so many compliments on my gown — how well it fit, how beautiful it is and also everyone actually loved that I didn’t have a train — bustling it would not have enhanced the gown in any way and actually would have have detracted from it. I wish I could show how much work Judee needed to do to remove the train and make the gown all one length as well as hemming it to the proper length. This gown must have had a dozen layers! I’ve included a close up of the gown and then a full length of it on me (p.s. the hem doesn’t look even in the photo but that was either the way I was standing or it came up — it was even).
I’ve also been to Judee to have a bridesmaid gown altered as well as many cocktail dresses. She does fabulous work on everything and is so great to work with! Judee is so friendly, easy going and accomodating!
I’m not tall, have a short waist and fairly large bust/​shoulders so I pretty much have needed alterations my entire life. Judee is by far one of the best I’ve been to and she is also very reasonably priced for the magic she does. I’m sure if I had had the alterations done at the bridal shop, it would have cost a LOT more!

Had a strange experience when I stopped by today. First of all, be aware that the costume shop and the fabric shop are now two separate stores — the fabric/​bridal shop is located at 15 246 Cave Creek (by appointment only, I should add), and the costume shop is a little further down the road.
Judee was very kind and accommodating and offered to show me around the bridal shop even without an appointment. She said she had tons of fabric around but I saw only a handful of bolts and a glass counter full of unique, high-​quality lace and trim. I’m guessing (and hoping) that she just doesn’t have things quite set up since the move, because it would be really nice to have a resource for high quality fabrics in the Valley. Will probably stop by again to see if this happens, but if it doesn’t, I don’t foresee that I will become a regular customer. Judee seems great to work with though so based on this experience I do recommend her if you are looking for a custom gown made of beautiful fabrics you can’t find anywhere else in Arizona.

Im so happy to have found this place! Judee was fabulous with customizing the costume I choose. She changed the neckline and picked out all the accessories. I will continue to use your services and tell all my friends as well. THANK YOU!!!

The service is outstanding and the quality is the best. Love this place.
