Seeing My Tailor/Dressmaker

It was pretty hard to contact my tailor because she is very busy. But at last, she was able to give a visit today. So this morning I asked her to come in the afternoon after school.

I decided to pick my simplest design that I own out of all that I have created until now. It is a simple, bohemian, yet glamorous top. It is half transparent and I picked red for its color, and the chiffon material I bought yesterday would look great for it.

The hard part was explaining the design to her, but it became easier after some time. I showed and let her borrow my sketch for a while so she can interpret it easily. I also had a very interesting challenge on choosing a few decisions, which here was choosing color, and additional material for detailing, on the waist and arm. We discussed whether:

  •        It will look good
  •        It will look balanced with the chiffon material
  •        The weight of the material, be unbalanced with the chiffon material and end up ruining the sewing
  •        The price tag is suitable.

She said my design would be ready soon.
