Tailor Archive

Two me, I think my enjoyment of tailoring boils down to 2 types of experiences, both of which are unique to tailoring (and perhaps image design):

1) The "live" customer exchange where I'm able to exceed their expectations and send them on their way with something unexpected. Customer comes in and asks for "something sexy but not slutty, something I can wear while healing in a hospital, and features medium green and pink". This is a typical sort of non-specific requirement that I get. Then I get to work, work with the customer, I try a few things, get some feedback, make some adjustments, and together we come up with something awesome that they love and didn't really expect when they walked in that is sort of a combination of my creative efforts, and theirs coming together.

2) The fashion creations on the vendor. When I used to restock the store vendor I'd often spend some time working on "new stuff". Color combinations of different clothing articles that I hadn't seen used in a particular combination before. These items would inevitably end up listed consecutively on the vendor and more often then not would also be bought together as a package. That is always gratifying, as is seeing somebody wearing it, or better yet, getting a /tell from them afterwards telling you how much the like it.

This is a nice positive thread, Arthur, thank you.

I love restocking my vendor. I really do. I love seeing what people bought, especially some of the combinations they buy. I love trying to picture these outfits in my head.

I love the amount of things there are for us to make. I love trying new combinations and new colors and sometimes building outfits around pieces that I don't normally use.

I love the customers that come in and say "I need a new look, just make me something different" and they really mean it. I love when they leave happy.

I love that there are soooo many options that different planets have different trends (usually based on what the local tailors like to make) I like to travel and see what people in other towns are wearing, especially in cantinas.

What's fun for me is stocking a shop with everything. I dunno why , I'm not too introspective. I've also always enjoyed... well... playing dress up I suppose, for myself I mean. Playing with clothing for myself. I like puting together neat outfits, and placing em in my shop for view (tho I had to take down a lot for storage reasons )

I love...

.. it to make new clothing.. experimentation on new outfits, combining different colors and making my own fashion trends

.. making my customers happy

.. the creativity.. best thing is when customers are giving free hand to make them something they would look good in just name me a direction/profession/idea how they wanna look

.. modelling myself and getting friends to model for me in new outfits i create

.. seeing people wearing my clothes when i enter i starport or a cantina or somewhere else
