Chapter 50: Jiang Xian's persistence, this girl is too stubborn
For someone like her who has been dealing with clothing for many years, she can spot the problem at a glance.
If she remembered correctly, the proprietress just now also told her that this dress was made by her based on her memory and intuition, and she had never touched the original pattern of the dress.
Just relying on this point, it is really great to be able to achieve this level.
The disadvantage is that she has not received professional training, otherwise this dress is really good. From the workmanship and stitching of this dress, you can see that the proprietress was very careful when making this dress.
This fabric, if it were made in this era, could be considered top-quality fabric. This shows how much effort the proprietress put into this dress. She really loves this business.
It's just that there is still a little lack in technology.
Jiang Xian thought about it, then she put the dress on. After she pulled the dress up, she could immediately see the flaws of the dress.
In terms of tailoring, there are big problems with the shoulders and cuffs, which might not be apparent when the clothes are placed on the hanger, but now they have become obvious.
Jiang Xian immediately discovered the problem. She pointed it out to the proprietress one by one and told her the problem with the dress.
In fact, after Jiang Xian put on the clothes, the proprietress felt that this dress was a bit strange. Although she was not that professional, she would not ignore the problem that was obvious to her with a single eye.
When she heard Jiang Xian help her point out the problems with the clothes, her face instantly became ashamed. She didn't expect that at her age, she would still be pointed out problems by a little girl. It was really embarrassing.
The proprietress was still very grateful to Jiang Xian in her heart. If it weren't for her, she would probably still think that no one was interested in her clothes and didn't realize that there was something wrong with her clothes.
The atmosphere was awkward for a moment, but it was soon resolved by the proprietress, who said:
"Luckily you're here today, otherwise I wouldn't have noticed the problem with this dress after all these years."
Because this dress was made in standard size and the proprietress was rather frail, even if the dress was made and could not be sold, she did not wear it herself.
She couldn't bear to part with such good fabric.
The wrong size is just one of the problems.
It has been left like this for so many years. If Jiang Xian hadn't taken a liking to this dress and brought it to her today, she probably wouldn't have noticed the problem.
The shortcomings were exposed so thoroughly.
It was as if she had lost her fig leaf, and she felt a little embarrassed in her heart.
How could she possibly sell clothes with such flaws and holes to Jiang Xian?
The lady boss blushed and said:
"It's all my fault. This dress has too many flaws. I naturally can't sell it to you."
"Pick out some other styles and see if there's anything you like. If there is, we can make something else."
As for this dress, made of such good material, she thought that she could modify it later, and maybe after it was modified, she could wear it herself.
After hearing this, Jiang Xian immediately disagreed. How could that be possible? When she saw the dress, she wanted to modify it. If the proprietress refused to sell it to her, then her plan would be in vain.
She immediately said to the boss lady:
"How about this, you sell me this dress and I'll modify it. Can you lend me your sewing machine?"
When the proprietress heard this, she was stunned. She didn't expect that this dress had so many flaws, but Jiang Xian would still want it.
Isn't this a fool?
It’s embarrassing to think about it. It cost a lot to make this dress.
Although the fabric is of good quality, the design is not good. It is too loose and looks terrible when worn on the body.
One flaw is enough to destroy all the advantages of these clothes.
The proprietress looked surprised and said in an exaggerated tone:
"This dress is already in this state, and you still want it?"
Her store is a small business, and her family is really short of money, but she wouldn't cheat a customer just because of this piece of clothing.
No matter how good the fabric of a piece of clothing is, if the shape is not good, it will not look good when worn.
If Jiang Xian buys it back, then he will be compensated.
She couldn't do that and cheat the girl. What's more, the girl had just gotten married. If she bought a dress like this and wore it back home, she would feel so unlucky.
"Buy it. I like this dress, so of course I have to buy it."
"What's the price? Just name it. If it's suitable, you can just lend me the sewing machine. I'll see what I can do with this dress."
Modify clothes?
This is somewhat outrageous.
The proprietress thought, the dress is already like this, if I were to make any more changes, I guess I wouldn’t be able to change much, as it’s a very good style.
After all, there are limitations and it is difficult to start. Even as a professional tailor, she has run a tailor shop for so many years and she knows that she cannot make any good changes to the dress.
A young girl like Jiang Xian probably doesn’t even know how to use a sewing machine, so what’s the difference between selling this dress to her and selling her a pile of rags?
The proprietress shook her head in her heart, thinking that the girl was too stubborn. She had to persuade her and not let her suffer the loss in vain.
Although she is the one who makes money, she would not feel guilty if she sold clothes like this.
Seeing Jiang Xian's serious look, the lady boss asked:
"Do you have to buy this dress?"
"If the modification fails, then your money will be wasted."
"I can lend you the sewing machine, but you have to bear the consequences yourself. If it works, I will sell you the dress at cost price. What do you think?"
The boss lady's tone was very straightforward.
She tried to dissuade Jiang Xian many times from buying the dress, but Jiang Xian just wouldn't listen.
If she regrets it, she will not only lose a little bit.
Finally, the proprietress felt helpless and could only say this.
