Tales of A Nigerian Tailor (Part 8): The Perfect Fitting

Hhhhhmm….. my people, long time no see.

Sorry about the break in transmission; I was a little indisposed and couldn’t share my latest tailor escapades with you. Every weekend is a tailor drama and today I will be gisting you the latest happenings. So………. I saw this lovely ankara outfit on BellaNaija Weddings Instagram page and as usual, my body started imagining itself in that dress. I no fit sleep, once I close my eyes the only thing I see is that dress. Can you relate? You know all these dresses that will hunt you in your dreams until you buy or sew it – this was that kind of dress. So, I called my beloved tailor and showed her the design below:

As usual, I was expecting some little adjustments here and there when she brings the finished product but alas, my beloved gave me shivers. I tried the outfit and it was the PERFECT FIT. On this platform, we always talk about the wahala of Nigerian tailors and their many flimsy, lame excuses; but I’m of the opinion that when someone does well – he/she should be applauded. I’m thinking, maybe I should show her face here in one of the articles. She did justice to the fabric – my fabric was not enough so we opted to subsidize with cord lace and she chose a very nice design.
