Hot afternoon to y'all blessed readers. How are you enjoying your day? Point to note.. December is coming oooo😂
Someone made a joke earlier that if you have a cloth you want to sow for the festive period, you should give it to your tailor up to 3 months in advance 😂
Funny right? That's the kind of situation we find ourselves in this country. Tailoring is a great profession and actually it's something I'd like to learn someday.
But for as long as I can remember there's something that has been associated with tailors or fashion designers particularly in Nigeria and that thing is "Disappointment".
Everywhere you go it seems as if it is impossible to give your cloth to a tailor and actually collect it on the day you both decide it'll be ready for collection.
Now let me note here that it's not every tailor that has this attitude. And yes it's an attitude. And what do I know about attitudes is that it starts with a small step.
I've actually heard about tailors that probably because their clients didn't show up on due dates, they used their cloths for something or someone else. Now sooner or later, their clients show up and demand their cloth and they start giving all sorts of excuses.
If you're reading this and you're into the tailoring profession ..you must know I mean no harm. And if you're actually reading this and you're guilty .. please find the capacity to change.
It's not something hard to get a client's cloth and actually have it ready before the due date. The challenge is that.. in a bid to look cool, most tailors fix unimaginable dates for clients to come for their cloths.
Another challenge is that most tailors forget all about a client's cloth until the due date remains tomorrow.
I saw a picture on Facebook recently where a client had to show up to his tailor's shop with a German Shepherd Dog 😅 .. imagine that ..all in a bid to get his cloth.
Honestly I don't think it has to come to such extreme measures before things change or are done the right way 👍😉
So 2 word of advice:
If you're a tailor (or fashion designer) with this attitude change oo before people bring dogs or even lions 😂 to come and collect their cloths
As a customer, you too give your tailor time. Don't bring a cloth today and say you want to use it next tomorrow 😅
One day sha .. we'll talk about the issue of "what we ordered vs what we got" ..
Have a wonderful rest of your day and as I usually say.. your comments would be appreciated 😊
Thank you..
