Unbelievable cost of a tailor job!

August 2nd, 2007 at 02:44 am

I bought the dress of heavy silk that did not fit exactly right and I needed the skirt part to be taken it from both sides, and hammed at the bottom. And same thing to be done to the lining.

Instead of a fancy tailor I went to a woman with a sewing stand on the street.

She charged me 10Y ($1.25) for the job and did it really well!

And she charged me 3Y (maybe 40 cents) to ham pants.

(On the other hand, a woman in a tourist area tried to charge me 350Y for a really bad quality imitation silk robe that may cost maybe 40Y at best.)

    Oh you are in China! Whereabouts? Besides clothes, my friend from China plans to buy new glasses and shoes when she goes to visit her family. She says they are incredibly much cheaper there.
