Tailors and their timelines

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!
