Five of us went to the tailor on Saturday. I have been working on custom jobs almost non-stop and decided to do the fittings all at once. In my head, this would be a super fun party day where all the girls would drink pretty cocktails and prance around in fabrics. As it turns out, I live in a dream world. It was hot. Rude hot, and the fittings took a lot longer than I had hoped.

We live in Cambodia, and are heading full steam into sweltering jungle season. Luckily, this group happens to be especially awesome and not a single one complained about wait times or my sweaty self getting all up in their business for measuring.

Before the distinct pangs of hanger kicked in, we got a lot done. I get pretty bossy at the tailor, because I really care a lot about how things turn out, so my friends got to see me in business/scary mode, which I am sure was fun for them. A lot of furrowed brow at the tailor for me.

I am SO ridiculously excited about the clothes that are coming out of this group. Each one of the ladies has been endlessly patient and kind with the process and I am very lucky to be able to work with them.
