The Tailor Understood How to Fail the Assignment: Reactions to Badly-Tailored Dress

Nigerians on social media have reacted to a photo of a horribly sewn dress a lady got after she paid her tailor for a corset dress.

A customer came to me asking to see corset....am like you? (She's a new bride and expecting soon) and she said yes what's there. She thought I was looking down on her but when I explained to her that corset is more than the shape of the bust o ( that's what she thought). She wanted me to sew without the boning, I refused.

More often than not, we see stories of disappointed clients sharing photos of badly tailored dresses they often claimed to have paid hefty amounts to their dressmakers for.

However, not so many people get to hear the tailor or vendor's side of the story. Well, it appears this would have been just another case of 'what I ordered versus what I got' if the tailor was mischievous enough to take the job.
