Fatima’s Precision Tailoring

I needed a bridesmaid dress tailored and of course waited to the last minute. I was nervous because I had never had anything tailored in Rhode Island. I relied on Unilocal reviews and was not disappointed. I have a tragic lack of fashion sense but could at least recognize that the dress didn’t fit in the waist and chest, I figured there was little hope and I would be in the wedding feeling super frumpy. Fortunately Fatima knew exactly what to do and I feel much more confident in the dress and am excited for the wedding and forever grateful to Fatima! She accepts cash only, but there’s a convenience store right around the block with an ATM.

I was looking for a tailor to customize a new suit from Banana, for the wedding of a dear friend. After looking at a couple reviews for shops around Providence, I decided on Fatima’s because of her office worker-​friendly schedule.
I brought in the suit jacket as the pants had to be ordered from a different location and mailed to me.
Fatima is pleasant, soft-​spoken, but you sense she knows her craft well. She listens to what you’re looking for and is familiar with different styles of pants, jackets, and shirts. She had me try on the jacket, made some mental notes, and I was done. She asked me how I found her as she probably didn’t recognize me as a returning customer, and I told her « Unilocal!»
A week later after dropping off the jacket (today), I went in and tried on the jacket. It was so well done and truly felt like a custom jacket tailored to me. As I had an extra day before the wedding, she decided to make some small tweaks to truly make it a homerun.
Meanwhile, the pants had come in, and alas, were too big on the waist and too long on the leg. I asked her if there was *any way possible* to have the pants taken in and hemmed by tomorrow and without a whim she said «ok, I’ll come in early tomorrow». It should be noted that this was my first time seeing Fatima, so it’s not as though she was making an exemption for a loyal customer. However after seeing the work she has done, coupled with the fact she is extra accommodating to someone in a bind, she has made me a fevered loyal customer.
I’ve read some Unilocalers expressingnot giving Fatima and her shop 5 stars because of the fact she does not accept credit/​debit cards. I’m not the least bit concerned; with her expertise and customer service, she can accept, or not accept, whatever she wants!

Fatima did a great job tailoring a few pairs of suit pants for me. Polite, quick, and good work. The only thing she needs to do to get the 5^th star is bring her business into 2015 and start accepting cards (she is currently cash or check only). Other than that great tailor!

I came here and Fatima fit me in even though she was going on vacation. She is a very nice lady and will try to help you!
I got a bride maid dress done and she did a nice job. It was also very reasonable! If I ever need anything else altered I will pay her a visit!

Fatima is amazing !! She did such a fabulous job on a dress that was two sizes too big and too long. Thank you so much Fatima !!

She created my vision! I wanted to transform a bridesmaid dress into my wedding gown by adding a large slit (for a colorful tutu underneath), change the back from a zipper to a corset and make the neckline from a straight line to a sweetheart top. She did it all at a reasonable price. I went back multiple times and she made sure everything was just right. I can’t wait to wear it on my wedding day! Thank you Fatima :)

Fatima is a hero. I purchased a jumpsuit online and was very disappointed in the fit. Fatima managed to tailor the legs beautifully, completely transforming the piece. Fatima is a wonderful, sweet, and talented woman, and I would happily return in the future.

I wish Unilocal had 6 stars. I lived in Fox Point for 3 years while my wife was at RISD. Fatima is not only an amazing tailor who does awesome work at very fair prices. She is also an incredible human being, a beautiful soul. She will brighten your day. Can you say that about your seamstress? Go get your pants hemmed for $ 6 and come back with a new friend.
Seriously, people, Fatima was one of the best tings about living in Providence. She fixed my pants, my shirts, my backpack. She totally re-​did my wife’s $ 600 designer dress from Nieman Marcus and made it way better. I even had her take a big piece of fabric that I really liked and turn it into a blanket!
She is super talented and can do anything involving a needle and thread and her prices are really fair.

Precision tailoring is correct and for a great price! I took in two work skirts that were way to big so that they could be fitted to my waist, a jacket with a split open sleeve, and jeans needing new buttons. She was done 4 days later and the total was $ 40! Everywhere else I called wanted $ 20 to take in each skirt, $ 10 to fix the sleeve and $ 7 for the buttons. The skirts went from fitting around my hips to being high-​waisted. They look absolutely perfect now. You would never know they had been taken in so much. Currently rooting through my closet for more items to fix.
