Yesterday Ardan had a suit made and today we could go and check it out. For a first fitting it looked already very good. Some more minor adjustments had to be made. The shirt was also very good. You can really see the difference between a tailor made shirt and a confection shirt of C&A ;) Looked very handsome! I also asked them to make a dress. When I tried it on it really didn't look the way I wanted. She said she could make adjustments until it would be good. But both Ardan and me felt like even after several adjustments it wouldn't be the way we wanted it to be. To our pleasant surprise the lady said that she would give us our money back if in the end we still didn't think it was okay. We wanted to save her the time of trying to fix it, so just said that we didn't want the dress. We really felt a bit ashamed, but no problem. She was ashamed too :) I think she thought we would tell people that she wasn't a good tailor, so we reassured her that we really liked the suit and shirt. I also asked her to make a copy of a dress she already had in her store. She was very happy. We also looked up on the internet how much it would cost to sent this clothes and some other excess weight from our luggage back home. Airmail costs 100USD for 10 kg. Seamail will cost around 30USD for 10 kg. Big difference! The latter will take about 3 months to get home, but we're still in Asia for two more months, so doesn't matter.
