Many times, as you flip through a fashion magazine, you end up seeing something you love. But unfortunately, when you go further to find out how much the item would cost, you realise you would need to save up money, for over five months, by which time the item will probably have stopped trending.
However, just because you cannot afford to have that exact piece, it doesn’t mean you cannot have it at all.
The trick is in finding a superb tailor. Now many of you might find this as inconveniencing, or not even worth the pain, but trust me, it’s worth all the effort.
A personal tailor not only knows your right measurements, and sizes, but will get you your desired design in the actual measurements that you need it.
All you will need to do is find the right material, and you can also end up owning that Rihanna dress, that you probably saw her wearing on the red carpet.
However, ensure that you choose your tailor wisely. Do not go for what you feel will cost you less. Go for someone you know will give you the exact results that you need. Begin by making use of the many fashion designers we have here in Kampala. They will not only be able to guide on what would suit you best, but eventually help you come up with something superb
For a dress that you could have paid close to Shs 400,000 for, you are bound to get it for less than that.
Buying the material, may cost you around Shs 50,000, depending on point of purchase. You can try places like Avemar shopping center for all you material choices. Then the tailoring will not exceed Shs 100,000 so you are bound to spend approximately Shs 200,000 on an outfit that would have cost you Shs 300,000.
