My participation in Hive Learner's weekly featured contents Week 71:- Edition 03:- More For Less
My situation happened to be with a fashion designer who happens to be my colleague. I'm someone who loves to encourage skills and talents, which made me regret my action.
I have my personal fashion designer who happens to understand my styles, and when I wanted to try out this on my colleague, I told her about it, saying that I just wanted to encourage a colleague in case she sees a new handmade dress on me, and she was fine with it and told me to go ahead.
Last year in June, a colleague was getting married and sold Aso ebi for the ladies in the office, and my tailor colleague happened to buy from the Aso ebi also, so I used the medium to give her the cloth to sew for me. I showed her the style and asked if she could make it, and she said yes.
If you do owanbe well, you know how expensive aso ebi can be with gele (head Gear).
She billed me close to what i used to get the ASOEBI, explaining that the materials she buys are expensive and only if I want her to get fake material, and I disagree with her on the fake material. I agreed to pay the amount.

What I requested
Two days before the wedding, after the close of business that day, I asked her for her home address so I could go and fit my dress. Guys, the journey was like I was traveling out of the city, but I didn't bother; I just wanted to get my dress.
After being severely lost and found, I located her place, got there, played and laughed with her, and requested a meal because I was extremely tired, She helped me order the food, which I ate, and I requested she bring the dress out so iI couldfit it.
OMG!
The next words that came out of my mouth were, "What rubbish is this", Was this what I asked you to make for me? Moreover, the material you collected money for is not what you ended up using for me; I was furious! I began to raise my voice in anger and told her I wouldn't collect the cloth and she would refund me.
Meanwhile, she is my friend in the office, but at that instance, I forgot completely because I was not myself any longer.
What she made for me
You can see how my face looks so furious馃ぃ馃ぃ馃ぃ.
The Outcome of the Cloth
She sewed something entirely different from what I asked her. like, Have you ever pictured yourself in a particular style before getting it? I already envision what my look will be like, how I will enter the event hall, and how all eyes will be on me, getting compliments on how I look and how beautiful my dress looks. I had all this staged in my head, but she ruined everything.
No eyes will be on me with this style馃榿
Her family came out and started begging me that the cloth was not bad and that it looked really good on me, my spirit was hot! After much persuasion and knowing there was nothing I could do about it, I decided to collect the cloth, but I won't go anymore because the vision of the wedding is already ruined.
On Saturday, which happened to be the day of the wedding, my other colleagues began to ask if I was getting prepared, and I informed them I wouldn't be coming anymore. I stated the reason they began to beg me, telling me to wear something else or get another designer to amend it for me. I immediately remembered my stylist, which is @glorydee I reached out to her and explained the situation, and she asked me to come over with the dress. I immediately went down and showed her she was literally busy, but she put her customer work on hold and figured out something she could do about it. After a few minutes, she did her magic, and I was convinced enough to wear the dress, and i went back home to prepare for the wedding.
After that situation, I never gave her any clothes to make for me again, and we met at the wedding and she noticed i amended the dress and she was feeling bad; I did not even look at her.
Thank God for @glorydee who came through for me.
Now a babe and more馃槝
