MY HEARTBREAK EXPERIENCE!!!
Part 1
Tailor too dey get heart break oh!!!
That year, her friend had referred her to Amaks Fashion
We made her this gorgeous asoebi dress.
I was away when she came for fitting so my girls attended to her and everything was on point.
I returned later to place and hands stitch the appliques and she returned some days later for pickup.
Honestly her dress stood out amongst the rest.
She complimented our good work with nice makeup and gele.
She sent me more pictures than I could have requested of her. Plus a thank you message via WhatsApp.
You know when you know that your dress is fine, fits you plus compliments every where, the shakara hits differently.
Let's not even talk about the finishing, cos I don't joke with that.
After sometime, she reached out saying she was planning her wedding and would love for me to make all her outfits- Photoshoot, traditional and reception dress based on the good job I did earlier.
We agreed on a day she would bring the fabrics. I asked to get an idea of what she'd love and sent style inspirations.
She came of the agreed day oh.
We remeasured her fabrics to avoid stories that touch and got down to the business of the day.
We landed and agreed on style, price and all.
She asked I send account details for part payment which I did.
Color me surprised when I received her call early the next day with stories that touch.
According to her, her "Oga" said paying for the clothes is not a problem but paying a tailor that amount in Nsukka, he cannot can.
In other words, I'm not qualified to be paid such amount not because I'm not skilled cos c'mon she came to me on referral and I didn't disappoint but because my environment somehow place an embargo on how much my services must not exceed.
My sister, if anyone tells you that location doesn't matter so long as you are good, please know that they are just whining you oh.
Location is a serious matter that matters in every matter.
Like joke like play, I lost that job.
That was the day I understood why top designers charge consultation fees.
You can imagine the hours it took me to attend to a bride with over 5 outfits.
Sketching and re-sketching. Walking her through the entire design. Suggesting...
After everything, shishi I know see...
She came some days later and parked her fabrics.
I come like person whey them dump.
Make I no lie, eeh pain me oh.... aaahhh eeh pain me
