I've to second this. She can get a little aggressive at times. I had a few items to make, some from images and some pieces I wanted to duplicated. After placing a couple of orders, she insisted that she wanted to make one of the dress that I got out of a magazine. When I refused since her quote was on the high side, and told her it's ok I won't be making this dress, her face became 'black'. We got into quite a bit of a bargain where we finally settled on a price. She also made sure she stuffed the pieces that I brought to be duplicated behind her back, as if to make sure that I couldn't take it back if I wanted to until we reach a deal.
The worst experience with her was when she delivered the clothes to the hotel on my very last day, an hour before I was due to catch a taxi to the airport. I specifically listed out a handful of colours for her to choose from in case the colours I wanted was not available, yet she made the dress in a hideous colour which for sure I wouldn't have chosen. I refused to pay for that dress for but she became all worked up and threatened to take away the whole bag of orders I've placed. If not that I had already placed a significant deposit and I had a plane to catch I wouldn't have given in. From the exchange that took place the day before, I suspect that she couldn't find supply of the colours of my choice but because of the high margin she's probably making from this dress design, she intentionally carried on with a the dress in a colour that I remember specifically telling her that I didn't want.
I don't think she's as 'pitiful' as some reviews make her out to be. But in trying to be more objective, she offers better value than some of the other tailors I've tried, in terms of the worksmanship and price. However, not a pleasant lady to deal with if you're placing orders for a few pieces. Giving her the benefit of the doubt, perhaps I could squeeze and excuse of culture and survival for her poor attitude. But for ethics alone, I definitely wouldn't recommend her.
