The Chinese New Year is approaching, and the period before the Chinese New Year is often the busiest time for tailors, and every family, especially those with many children, are busy making new clothes.
In the past, life was simple, business was underdeveloped, and there were no ready-to-wear garments to sell. The most popular thing in the mall is the cloth counter, where bundles and rolls of cloth are placed, and customers choose the fabric they like, pull a piece of it back, and find a tailor to make clothes.
In the past, tailoring was a very popular industry, and like haircuts, there was no cost, a pair of scissors, a basket of needles and threads, and a ruler could be opened.
A well-crafted tailor is very popular, and can cut the right clothes for you according to the fancy and color of the fabric. There are basically no tricks in the men's model. There are many patterns for women, such as sweetheart collars, large lapels, a drop of water, and all kinds.
There was a small tailor in front of our house, who was not very old, and his family rented a small bungalow to make clothes for the surrounding residents, which was famous far and wide, and the business was very good.
Now, times have changed, and the tailoring industry is no longer seen on the streets. Either they all went into the factory and made clothes on the assembly line. Either you have entered a high-end custom store and customized clothes for high-end customers.
Ordinary people go directly to the mall to buy ready-made clothes, styles, models are everything, convenient and worry-free.
Young people are no longer willing to learn this trade, so the tailoring profession is now less and less seen
