Imagine me saying “some men are very wicked” and you come out to say “even your dad?” Lol. Where do you think my first impression of men came from? He is the first bad person I know😂
THE GIST…
So a lady dmed me months ago (Around June) to make inquiries about an outfit. We discussed price and she said she will get back to me..
I didn’t follow up because I have been very busy and secondly I don’t pressure people into sewing. I always feel they will reach out when they are ready cos I am always available to serve.
Now fast forward to Thursday, she messaged me for my address saying it is about the cloth we discussed and she wants to come over. I sent her address and direct number to contact incase of any difficulty finding the store.
Guess what, she came in today with already sown dress. She already made the dress (exact style and exact lace she shared with me months ago) from a tailor in Lagos but according to her, the bust doesn’t sit right, the dress is too tight and the zip spoilt in the process of fitting so she brought it to me for amendment…
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭…. I don’t care where anyone chooses to sew. It is your money and all but the audacity to bring it to me for AMENDMENT after our prior conversation. My God! I almost cried cos today was suppose to be my rest day. This week has been too stressful and I just wanted to sleep at home today but because of her appointment, I went to the shop only to find out it was “Amendment”…
After her explanation I said “why didn’t you say you were coming for amendment on the chat? Why did you reference the outfit and you said “I am coming based on this dress”
“Ehn, I wanted to come and explain face to face. I don’t want to take it else where. I know you can help me”
P.S; I hate amendments but I do it for returning clients and random people all the time. Most times for free sef if it’s just minor issues. But my problem here is you didn’t think I was good enough to sew the dress but I am good for amendment 🫠🫠🫠
I just called one of my staff and told them to walk her out... Carried my bag and came straight home to sleep..
Thinking about it now, I am really grown. The fact that I didn’t tell that lady the rubbish she deserves to hear makes me proud of myself…
