The first piece of clothing can be made in a month, and upon seeing it, there is a significant difference compared to the sample. The embroidery, color matching, and edging are all at the level of a tourist, but the key is that it doesn't fit properly when worn. I brought it back to Suzhou during the Mid Autumn Festival holiday and went to a cheongsam shop twice within three days to change clothes. The first time was because the size and cutting of the clothes were not correct. The second time, I pointed out various problems such as mismatched border colors and embroidery. The last time, the salesperson simply put down the clothes that were being changed and said, 'Then let's redo one!'! Redo? The shop owner is quite generous. Then start measuring again.
On Mid-Autumn Festival, I passed the store again. I remembered that I had not met the landlady in the previous two visits, so I might as well try my luck again. If I can see her this time, I must stress to her that we should do well when we rework. Pushing open the door and entering the store, a bride who had custom-made a hand embroidered cheongsam for 5000 yuan happened to be trying on clothes. The girl was thin and tall, estimated to be 175cm+. She encountered the same problem while trying on clothes as I did. The landlady was tiptoeing and holding a needle and thread to fix the left and right stitches around the bride... The bride asked the landlady if there was a problem with her figure? The boss's wife chuckled and said, "Sister, if you're trying on ready-made clothes from my store, it's your body shape that doesn't fit you; if you're currently customizing, it's my problem that doesn't fit you
So National Day directly arranged for the boss's wife to re measure the size. After a month and a half, she went to try on the clothes. The problems with the previous one disappeared, and she happily put them on, feeling a little tight. Ah! How did you make it too small? "Muttered the landlady in Suzhou dialect, taking out the original measurements for comparison and agreeing to take the modified clothes for the winter solstice. Approaching the winter solstice, the landlady called and replied, "It's too small to make any changes. I have placed another order to redo it and it's currently being embroidered. I won't be able to get it for the winter solstice
In a blink of an eye, it's the Spring Festival. I called the boss's wife all afternoon before the holiday, but she didn't answer! I called from a different number in the evening and answered, saying that I had a lot of work before the holiday and was rushing to finish. I had arranged to meet at the Pingjiang Road store on the third day of the lunar new year. So when I arrived at the pickup location as scheduled in my third year of junior high school and found out that the boss's wife had stood me up again, my heart was shattered. I had made a cheongsam three times and it took eight months to put it on. This experience was really embarrassing! After getting angry on the phone, I had no choice but to reschedule today. I spent the whole afternoon cooperating with the boss's wife to change clothes and sew buttons. In the midst of her repeated "apologies", the clothes were finally completed in the evening. Seeing me nod my head in front of the fitting mirror, the landlady finally breathed a sigh of relief. She found that the buckle of the jacket I was wearing was loose, and she insisted on sewing it on me. The shop assistants have all finished work, and the only sound in the store is the gasping of the chubby boss's wife as she flies needles and threads. Meeting each other in life is not easy, and since we have achieved a satisfactory result, let a smile and gratitude replace the previous anxiety and regret. On the fifth day of the lunar new year, when welcoming the God of Wealth, we still wish the landlady a bountiful fortune.
