Around the place I stay has got tremendous, good
tailors. Few tailors are good with designs while few with the right fitting of
the dresses.
About ten years ago, I became so obsessed with
stitched clothing, that I would go to commercial Street to buy various printed,
embroidered fabric and get it stitched into nice Kurtis.
The tailor whom I went to was very good but he was
horrible with the Estimated Time to Complete(ETC). He would say
he will complete in 2 weeks and would not even start before 2 months. However,
I got my dresses stitched from this tailor for about 4 years. Once when he did
not return a dress for more than 6 months, I gave up. I collected the dress and
decided to look for another tailor.
I found another tailor who was just across the
street. It was a busy shop. After I gave my fabric, he said he would give it
after 8 weeks I thought it is a reasonable time and called them up after 8
weeks...He said in another 2 days it will be ready! Common, after 8 weeks!
Again, It was time to change the tailor.
The next tailor and the next one next all were same
or even worst with their ETC. But their timelines burdened me and I completely
stopped stitching dresses even saree blouses and started to only buy ready-made online or from a nearby mall.
Of late, I found a middle-aged lady Tailor. She was
pretty reasonable with the stitching as well as the timing. She stuck to her
promised timelines most of the time.
Today I was waiting for her when I typed this post.
It's been about 4 months and she has not returned a dress! Well, the timeline the issue with Tailors is surely universal!
