~Something That Made My Day~

Yesterday, went to pick up my engagement outfit from the tailor in Arab Street. Originally, I had went on last Saturday. But somehow, the outfit didn't fit me right. The tailor was in shock and I was in a blur. The 1st thing that cross my mind was..”on no, not again”.

I had originally sent my engagement outfit to a tailor in Subang Jaya. Thought that since we've sent to her before, her sewing would be good...and at the same time cheap. But to my dismay, the outfit was...how can I put this...horrible? Well, not horrible...but basically it was not to my expectations at all! The design was all wrong and I really cried once I got home. I couldn't think straight, i didn't know what to do! To make a new outfits seems like it was too late at that point of time. Should I or shouldn't i?

Both mom and dad knew how sad I was. Even Farid suggested to make a new one since my outfit was not to my liking.

So as a conclulsion......I made a new outfit for my engagement. Even choose a different colour! From baby blue now a dirty pink. Am so happy with the new material. Really gorgeous. A bit more expensive too..but I like it so much. And the tailoring....oh gosh..the tailoring. Still can't believe how expensive it cost me. I mean, to compare to the one in KL, this tailor cost me a bomb!

For her to be able to complete my outfit in just 2 weeks is perfect! I felt so bad to rush her. And on top of that, it's my 1st time sending to this lady. So imagine my concern when I decided to use her services? So, like I mentioned before, when I went to pick up my outfit on Saturday, I was speechless when the outfit didn't fit me right. Seriously, I couldn't handle any more stress from just my outfit. The tailor was in shock as well. She couldn't believe it didn't fit. She kept saying this is the 1st time where a customer didn't fit the outfits that she made. Hmm....makes you wonder eih? Did I really lost more weight? Or she just took the wrong measurements? Well, she took my measurements again anyway.

So last night after work, I went to pick up my outfit. Was really nervous about it. When I got there, the 1st thing the lady said to me was.....”Shireen! I was right! You lost more weight since I saw you 2 weeks ago!” I couldn't stop laughing. I mean....seriously, I never expected to lose the weight let alone, the inches. But I was pleased with myself. All that hardwork of going to the gym, swimming, tennis and kickboxing really paid off.

Now, my engagement outfit fits almost perfectly. I didn't want to adjust it any smaller. Since my weight is like a yo-yo....I'd rather maintain the outfit as it is for now. It's still a bit loose in some areas, but I'm happy with it. So, regardless the pricey charge of the tailor, she's all worth it in the end.

For a bad day at work...my engagement outfit really made me happy by the end of the day.
