  Sadly this is not a good review. I purchased 2 yards of fabric for a flounce top. I am a size 2. I am 5 feet tall. This is more than enough fabric. The tailor measured me. I drew a stetch of what I wanted. this is a 1.5 yard job. He decided to take a yard of my fabric for himself and make a short top instead of a high low top. In fact I told him I am conservative, and he wanted to add an additional inche at the time of measurement. The tailor was acting like a straight crook. It is sad because he is good, and could easily have great repeat client from me. I have not called the owner yet for a resolution. But I am upset. If you are looking for high quality wax and vlisco this is not the place.

  I enjoyed walking into this store. I visited summer 2016. The people were nice and helpful. If you wanted a material cut, they would cut it for you. It is a small store but besides that their stuff is quality. I will be stopping by again.

  Space is tight but there are a good selection of fabrics. Discounts are available for larger purchases.

  Prior to visiting this store, I checked it out online and had difficulty navigating the site. I ventured to this establishment and was a little disappointed in their offerings of African fabric. I was shown fabric that visibly was damaged. Even with the option of a discount the damage was so severe that it would have been a useless purchase. When your website touts that you have a huge selection, that what you need to offer. I'm going to give this store another opportunity in hopes there is some improvement. For now, there was no purchase.
