Fatima is a miracle worker. I bought an inexpensive boho dress online 4 weeks before my wedding that I loved but it needed a ton of work. I wasn’t sure that it could be fixed. She turned the dress into the most beautiful creation I have ever se...
en. She worked her magic and it ended up fitting me like a glove, it was perfect in every way. Better than I could’ve ever imagined. I felt beautiful, confident, and every single person told me that it was a perfect, stunning dress. I’m only sad that I will never wear it again! I cannot recommend her enough. Her talent is out of this world! And she’s fun to spend time with and makes the overall experience incredible :-) I wish I could give her 200 stars!
Response from the Vendor on 10/08/2019
Wow! What a great review! Thank you! I'm so glad you felt confident and beautiful in your dress.
I recently used Fatima in June to re-design my gown for my sons wedding . I purchased the gown in a larger size and then lost weight ! Lots of work ! It looked fabulous - if I say so myself !!!!
Thank you !

Thank you so much for this review! You are going to be absolutely stunning on your wedding day. I cannot wait to see the photos! :-)
Let me start by saying fatima made my wedding vision a reality. As a bride wearing a RED wedding gown Fatima was ecstatic to work with me , a bride going a non traditional route. Just by chatting with Fatima you can tell she loves what she does...
!!!
I contacted her about 9 month out from. My wedding to assist with custom veil.
I bought a veil i had made online which was a mess. It looked cheep and i knew ot would not work. Luckily i had Fatima to the rescue...she and i bounced ideas back and forth and she completely revamped my veil it came out amazing !!!
she even sent me progress photos and asked my opinion along the way. And used the same beading and sequins to mach my wedding gown ..it is 1 of a kind .
About 6 weeks from my wedding i came back to do my gown alteration . My dress required being taken in and a bustle. She did amzing work. She even taught my mother and bridesmaids how to get me into the dress correctly and do the bustle!
When i came to pick up she required me to try on to ensures everthing was corect. It was perfect!!!
She takes pride in her work and it certainly shows !
Response from the Vendor on 05/28/2019
Thank you so much for such an awesome review! I'm so glad you felt magnificent that day.
Fatima was a real pleasure to work with; in addition to altering my dress she took measurements for my bridesmaids so that I could order dresses for them off of etsy, and altered those dresses as well once they arrived. One of my bridesmaids lo...

Thank you so much for this review. I'm glad everyone looked great!
From the very beginning, Fatima exceeded expectations with my wedding dress. Every meeting was fun and personal. I purchased my dress in a smaller size, and she was able to let it out as well as hem the bottom, create a bustle (gorgeous), and a...

Thank you so much. I'm glad you feel glamorous in your gown! I can't wait to see your pictures! You are a strong beautiful woman on the inside and it shows on the outside!
Fatima is wonderful! I thought I just needed to have my mother of the bride dress shortened but she did a few tweaks and now I love the dress! Very reasonably priced and very talented. Glad to have found her. Thanks Fatima!
Response from the Vendor on 10/26/2018
Thank you so much for this review. I appreciate it. I'm glad you love it! That makes me happy! :-)
Fatima is THE BEST! Hands down, her work is impeccable. She took my wedding dress down several sizes and made it fit like a dream! Not only does Fatima take the time to make sure your dress fits like it was made for only you, but she is also SO...
sweet and ridiculously funny to talk with! I HIGHLY recommend Abishai to all brides (and grooms!) looking for professional alterations.
Response from the Vendor on 10/22/2018
Thank you so much! You were such a joy to work with. I love working with people like you.
Fatima was incredible! I felt so calm and relaxed with her, she made me laugh and her turn around time is incredible. I had been quoted over $800 by the salon where I purchased my dress, she was able to cut that cost by over 3/4 and it turned o...

Response from the Vendor on 09/25/2018
Thank you! I'm so glad you were happy. Results are my goal! It was fun working with you too :-)
I had my dress at another shop, after that shop having my dress for 3 weeks( this was the second round of alterations by that shop) I call to check on the status of my dress and I'm told oh your dress has not been touched, there are 2 other dre...
sses ahead of yours and you might want to find someone else because they were not sure my dress would get done. mind you with 3 weeks till my wedding. so Fatima had my daughter's bridesmaid dress doing alterations. I call her in tears explaining my dilemma. she was a blessing.she had me come in her shop that same day. she had to finish and fix someone else's work. she was amazing, funny and just put me at ease. well I got my dress back a week before my wedding and it was perfect, my bustle was gorgeous, she added a piece of lace to cover up the zipper and you couldn't tell. I wish I would have went with her from the start but I felt that I should have done alterations where I got my dress, well huge mistake on my part. So I'm telling everyone don't feel obligated to get your alterations done where you buy your dress...go to Fatima she is simply AMAZING.
Response from the Vendor on 08/30/2018
Thank you so much for this beautiful review! I'm glad to have made a positive difference for you. You remind me of why I love what i do! :-)
Fatima was absolutely amazing! She made something as seemingly tedious as a dress alteration fun. She has such a bubbly, yet no nonsense personality and so much knowledge and skill for alterations and design. She took my mermaid to floof dress...
and was able to shorten it AND put on a gorgeous bustle very quickly. The dress came out absolutely perfectly and I loved everything about it! I could not have been happier with my choice to go with Fatima!!
Response from the Vendor on 08/30/2018
Thank you so much for this review. You were a gorgeous bride! I hope your marriage is as happy as your wedding day!
Words cannot express how happy I am that I chose Fatima as my seamstress! She transformed my mother's 1985 wedding dress into an elegant and classic looking gown that I wore with pride on my wedding day. Fatima is a true artist and is so easy t...
o work with. I went in without much of a vision and she worked with me to make sure the dress was everything I wanted.
6 weeks before my wedding I found out that I was expecting and Fatima was awesome! She was able to assess the situation, adjust my dress as needed, and make me feel comfortable on my wedding day.
I am beyond happy with the work Fatima did to transform my mother's wedding dress into my dream wedding gown. I HIGHLY recommend Abishai for all your alteration needs. Fatima Bey is knowledgeable about her work, extremely talented, and just a flat out amazing woman!
Response from the Vendor on 07/30/2018
Thank you so much! You were great to work with. Thank you for letting me be creative with it. I can not wait to see the photos and video. I am honored that you trusted me with something so precious to you and that you even brought it back to me...
for preservation. I hope I get the chance to work on it again for your daughter in the future! :-)
I'm very happy I went with Fatima to do my wedding dress alterations! I was nervous about the dress process so of course procrastinated trying to find someone to do my alterations. Fatima saved me and my dress and fit me in fairly late (in wedd...
ing dress timelines). The dress came out great. We had to shorten the shoulders which included detailed bead work. She did a wonderful job on my bustle and really took the time to make it look great instead of just gathering it up on my backside. She had my maid of honor come and learn how to do the bustle which made the day of my wedding run smoothly! I'll definitely be using her again for alterations in the future!

Thank you so much for this review. You guys were so much fun! I'm glad you love the corset back and bustle. They make your dress uniquely yours! I'm looking forward to your pictures.
Fatima was amazing. As I am planning a large 100+ people wedding within 2 months I ordered my wedding dress online and took it to Fatima to have my dress altered to my height; she was able to accommodate me with the limited timeframe. Without h...
aving a bridal party to bounce thoughts and ideas off of and no one else seeing my dress until the day off the wedding she was very helpful with some recommendations regarding jewelry, shoes, and to or not to wear my veil. Being a new mom she was okay with my bringing my 3/4mo old daughter with me to both of my appointments which was very beneficial to me. Her prices were amazing $75 to have my dress altered and steamed as well as having my veil steamed. I definitely recommend her for any alterations and if I need anything altered again I will be going directly to her!
Response from the Vendor on 06/02/2018
Thank you for the positive review and letting me play with your daughter. She's adorable! Good choice on the veil. I hope your day is a very happy one for you!
From the moment I met Fatima, I knew my dress would be in great hands. She is clearly very passionate about her work and will tell you the truth. Fatima did a beautiful job on my bustle and neckline. On my final fitting, she noticed a small det...

I took my wedding dress to her for alterations. She took in the side seams and shoulders, and despite the fact that it's a lace dress you can't tell at a...
ll where she took it in. She also did a great job hemming my dress (including proving great advice on how long I should do my hem) and she did a really pretty bustle on my dress. I am so happy with how everything turned out! My dress fits like a glove now.
To top it off, her prices are VERY reasonable. I would definitely recommend Fatima!
Response from the Vendor on 05/25/2018
Thank you for such an awesome review! You look so good in that dress. I know you're going to get A LOT of compliments. I hope you have a ridiculously happy wedding! I can't wait to get photos!

ding for the bustle that she did! So many of my guests told me they had never seen such a beautiful bustle, nor had they seen one like that before! Fatima was great to work with; creative and so friendly. She gave me great ideas for my hair and jewelry, and helped me to relax about my big day. I would 100% recommend Abishai to anyone. I’m the MOH in my sister’s wedding in a few months and I certainly plan on going to Abishai for my alterations for that dress too! Thank you, Fatima!!

Fatima Bey saved the day! I had my wedding dress shipped to me from Kleinfelds four days before my wedding. My veil and 19 lb wedding dress was wrinkled and needed to be steamed. I remembered seeing her posts on wedding Facebook sites. I contac...

Thank you so much for such a great and review! I really do love what I do and I'm glad you felt that way! I hope your day was a beautiful as your dress!
There isn't much I can say about Fatima that hasn't already been said - she's amazing! Not only does she have a sparkling personality, she's great at what she does. I came in with a dress that didn't fit and she gave me options if I couldn't lo...
se the weight. Luckily, I managed that, and we did the alterations I wanted instead of needing them. Tea length dresses are hard on short people like me, and she made it the perfect length. The price was extremely reasonable, and we had great easy conversation while she worked. Thank you for making my dream dress even better <3

in, hemmed (by a LOT), she needed to gather the neckline and sew bra cups in to make up for the weight loss. She added the most beautiful bustle I have ever seen! I felt like a true princess! There were multiple layers to my organza dress and she hemmed every single one of them perfectly. She even needed to hem my slip because I'm so short! Everyone was in awe over my dress on the big day. I will never, ever go anywhere else for alterations! Thank you so much, Fatima!!
Fatima Bey could very well be my fairy godmother! I found my dress completely by chance and it fit... kinda. I have wide hips so it was let out a bit there, but I'm getting married on the beach, so I decided I wanted to cut the train off of my ...
dress. This was difficult to do bc of the corset back. Fatima worked her magic, & even helped me fill out the top to impress my groom 😉! She is very reasonable with her pricing and is just simply amazing. My wedding is 13 days away and I cannot WAIT to put that dress on bc it is one of a kind and now it looks like it was made FOR me. Thank you so much Fatima. Don't even bother looking anywhere else. She works magic with her sewing utensils I swear!

Then a friend told me about a friend of theirs that does alterations, Fatima. So I met with her and she saw how important the dress was to me and she said she would do her best.
