My daughter dropped off a dress to have the zipper replaced and a few snaps sewn in place. The dress came back with a zipper that was way too long and snaps were sewn in with a thread that didn't match the fabric. She was charged $50 and said the person was really not nice read more

Fatima was fairly kind throughout the process, which is why it saddens me to leave this review. She completely mangled my favorite bag. I gave it to her to fix because it had a large tear in the front, and I figured she would try to restore it what it was before, or at least pretend to give a fraction of an iota of a shit to make the stitching subtle, but no. Instead, it looks like she got a needle and thread, blindfolded herself, and just took out years worth of anger on my bag. The stitching is VERY visible, and VERY sloppy. It honestly looks worse than it did before. The worst part? The tear isn't even fully mended. I was so taken aback by this atrocity that I just left. I still love this bag, so I guess I'll just have to put some color-matching duct tape over it. I'm sure she's great with clothes, but maybe don't trust her with your bags. read more

Fatima saved me with same day service letting out the pants in my tuxedo. I called ahead and she said she was very busy, but would help me. She did and the pants both looked and felt great. read more

Came here to get a patch put in two pairs of pants. Quality is terrible. it looks like she was trying to run over an ex with a sewing machine the way none of the stitches are an even size nor lined up with each other. As someone with not a crafty bone in my body, I somehow feel I could have even done a better job. Thread didn't even match pants color either. And she had the audacity to charge me $15 for each 2-inch patch she put in. Save your money and your clothes. Never go here. read more

She did an amazing job on a satin bridesmaid dress I brought in! Great price for hemming + taking it in and the dress was ready exactly when she said it would be. I will definitely return if I need more alterations! read more

Fatima was very helpful when I was in a tight spot for a wedding guest outfit that was initially poorly done by a different Tailor. I ended up taking apart the previous dress and with Fatima's help and ideas got a new outfit that was lovely. Throughout the process, she was very professional and even went out of her way to help with some other style amendments. I appreciate this greatly. The wedding outfit turned out great in the end. I definitely plan to come to her again for any tailoring needs in the future as I trust her judgment and skills. read more

Fatima is INCREDIBLE. I've been to her twice now. Both times I came with a pretty tight turnaround request and she honored both. She knows what she's doing and will tell you like it is. She is not one to beat around the bush. It's nice to have a well trusted tailor in the area. read more

I had suit pants tapered and a suit coat taken in and it was a quick turnaround and a great experience.

Consistently excellent work that is always done quickly. Fatima can sometimes come off a bit surly, but she most certainly is not.

I used this service to hem a dress for my son's wedding. My mum was a tailor so my perception of service may be a bit more stringent than most. I know what I'm looking at. I found the timing long for such a simple alteration (I would have done it myself but I had loads of other wedding chores and this was a very simple offload). I also thought it costly but, as I don't have things altered commercially, this could just be me being out of date. The proprietor was pleasant. I doubt I'll be back but if needs must, I'll feel comfortable returning. read more

Read this review if you are a fellow enthusiast in tapered, streamlined clothing in the menswear/streetwear realm. I seem to be one of the few that visits tailors for this reason (a worthy reason, at that). I dropped off three pieces of clothing: a wool overcoat, and two pairs of denim. I asked her to bring in the waist of the coat ($35), and taper the inseam of both pants for a slimmer appearance ($15 each). Keep in mind that she only takes cash. I told Fatima that there was no rush in returning my clothes back, and she said that I could come in four days later to pick them up. So I'd say plan out your visit and expect to have your items back in a week, more or less. Four days later, I came to try on my clothing -- the overcoat fit wonderfully, and no longer looks like it was bought off the rack. Very happy how it came out. As for the pants, she went overboard with the tapering, and I couldn't fit my size 11 feet through the non-elastic openings. Tragic. After sensing my visible disappointment, Fatima kindly offered to readjust them at no extra cost and have me come back in the next day. Bless up, Fatima. Fast forward to the next day. Low and behold, we have two damn beautifully fitting pairs of pants. Just snug enough for my feet to wiggle through, these pants now look like a couple of APC petite standards. While her service isn't as cheap as I would like and she's a woman of very, very few words, I can tell Fatima has a good heart and lots of experience. read more

Definitely see Fatima for jeans or dress hems. She is super quick and does a reliably good job. That's why I gave her 4 stars. I still bring long maxi dresses and jeans. Bring cash. I really liked Fatima but have to admit her work isn't as detail oriented as I would like for really nice things. I've had to have a few things redone or adjusted by another tailor because the work just wasn't up to the standard I would expect for a designer jacket or dress. (Which is why I go elsewhere for more complicated things) read more

I dropped off pants (100% wool, S110) for tailoring: hemming and tapering. The tapering was perfect, but the hemming was atrocious. Uneven and too tight (causing the material to bunch). Where the stitches are too tight, the holes are enlarged and the fabric is ruined (looks like someone yanked on a snagged thread). As other reviews have mentioned, the ordeal too longer than she quoted. Although she said two week, it took four weeks (to hem and tapering pants?!?). I would suggest people go elsewhere to have products you care about tailored. read more

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 "Yelp!" 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 Yelpers 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! read more

Fatima was amazing! She tailored my wedding dress on a short timeline and it turned out perfectly! Her pricing was reasonable and the product was outstanding. I would highly recommend Fatima's Precision Tailoring! read more

Fatima did an amazing job, altered my wedding dressing from size 8 to size 0! The price is reasonable and the dressing is awesome! Thank you very much. read more

Fatima does a great job and is quick if you're in a time crunch. I've taken mainly bridesmaid/long dresses that need altering from the bottom. read more

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! read more

I brought in a last-minute chiffon bridesmaids dress that needed a simple hem. When I say last-minute, I truly mean it - she had about 5 days to get the job done during busy wedding/prom season and she didn't disappoint. The dress looked great, she was very thorough and reasonably priced! I will definitely be back! read more

Fatima is a awesome! I've brought in vintage pants and dresses to her over the last couple years and she has sized them perfectly for me. Quick turnaround and reasonable prices. read more

I brought in a jumpsuit that needed some substantial alterations and it looks great, rates were very reasonable. Would recommend!

What can you say? Fatima is a dear, dear woman. She is reasonable, understanding and responsive. I am a very picky executive who brings everything from suits, pajamas, my son's boy scout uniform, fencing uniform, my wife's things EVERYTHING!! She is more that happy to accommodate rush orders. She will tell you honestly if she can do it or not. Fatima is who you want with your cloths. read more

I brought a couple of pairs of pants here to be hemmed and Fatima did a wonderful job. She took care to measure my inseam and ask me the heel height I typically wear to ensure that she hemmed to the right length (before she asked that I was totally going to guess). When I returned the next week, my pants were hemmed to just the right length and the stitching was perfect. I only wish she took dry cleaning and credit cards! read more

Fatima has been absolutely a joy to work with. I have been slowly tailoring my whole dress shirt collection. I was nervous initially choosing a tailor because the shirts are brooks brothers noniron material that uses a special tape in the seams, and I was worried that when I washed them the alterations would wrinkle at the seams, but Fatima put me right at ease. She has altered over 8 shirts for me so far over the last few months and they have all come out perfectly! They fit just as expected and they have worn over time beautifully. She not only brought in the body of the shirt from the seams but also the sleeves as well so the shirt fit proportionally. In terms of price and timeliness, Fatima prices are extremely reasonable at $20 per shirt and she has always been on time. Highly recommend! read more

Fatima is the most talented, detail oriented seamstress. She greets each customer with sunny warmth and a huge smile. I had a gown that was two sizes too large. Fatima took in the entire top, restructured the sleeves and blended the sides into the train. She basically created a whole new gown. Fatima has adjusted the cut of a bathing suit to make it perfectly custom to my fit. She has shortened a leather skirt...twice! She rebuilt a skirt that just wouldn't sit right by adding darts and taking in a little here and there. And I could do all of these wardrobe makeovers because Fatima has the best prices you will find anywhere. Her quality is unparalleled, which makes her prices even more amazing. If you go to Fatima you will not be let down and you will, as Daniel W. said "leave with a friend." (I don't know why his review is not recommended -- it's 100% accurate.) read more

I wish Yelp 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. read more

highly recommend! fatima is a real expert and she is so sweet! she fixed the sleeves of one of my dresses and made it 1000x better than before. don't know if i could find a better tailor when i leave providence read more

Fatima is a miracle worker. I had a bridesmaids dress that was in dire need of alterations but was only sent to be a few days before the wedding...not ideal. I brought it in on a Saturday and she had it finished by Monday. She had a family emergency and had to close her shop early on the day the dress was ready, but made sure to call me and waited until I could pick up the dress. The quality of her work was excellent and I will definitely be back. read more

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. read more

Took two pairs of pants in to be shortened by 1-3 inches each. The stitching was very low quality. The threading was visible from the exterior of the pants. There were loose threads on the inside. The fabric started to bunch together after one wearing. Now, about one month later, the hemming has completely fallen out of one leg. Now to take them to a different tailor. BTW, I work in an office setting and only wear these pants to work. So, it's not exactly like I've been putting them through heavy use. read more

I had a pair of pants hemmed there. They were supposed to be ready four days later on a Tuesday and weren't ready yet when I went Wednesday to pick them up, so I had to make an extra trip to get back to the shop again. One week later, the hem on one of the legs had fallen out. Not super pleased. read more

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. read more

Quick and she did a perfect job mending a large rip in the seam of my pants. Will definitely go back again

I brought 3 pairs of pants into Fatima on Saturday and needed them in a rush. Her normal time was good anyway but I asked if I could have them that afternoon and she was more than willing to accommodate. The prices are very good and work is great, I would highly recommend this place! Thanks Fatima read more

This woman is seriously amazing. I am a major procrastinator and put off having a bridesmaid dress altered-- within a week she completely transformed the dress into exactly what I needed! The dress was ready on time. When I went to pick up the dress and try it on we realized I needed cups and the breast piece taken in a little more. She told me it would be ready the next day. The alterations were beautiful and seamless! She is a master of her craft 100% and I highly recommend her services. read more

I had a bridesmaid dress hemmed and altered. Fatima was reasonably priced and had the dress done in one week. I would definitely go back.

Fatima is terrific. She tailors most of my clothes (I am height-challenged) and she has tailored several suits for my husband, as well as fixed items for my son. She does excellent work at reasonable rates. Highly recommended! read more

Had my bridesmaids dress altered and it fits like a glove. Perfect length and everything!
