A young Nigerian lady’s Detty December plans came crashing down after her tailor, who was given a second chance, delivered a poor outfit in an attempt to recreate a design by the renowned celebrity designer Veekee James.
A social media user identified as @ayhairss took to TikTok to share a video of the disappointing outfit she received from her tailor. This incident occurred after she had decided to give her tailor a second opportunity, despite previous errors, in hopes of getting the desired result for her end-of-year celebrations.
The video, which lasted just over a minute, showed the lady revealing the outfit with a mix of shock and laughter. Without saying a single word, she displayed the dress, which clearly failed to meet expectations. The laughter that followed was loud and somewhat ironic, as she couldn’t hold back her disbelief at the outfit she was left with.
The lady captioned the video with the words, “POV: You decided to give tailor one last chance.” This comment immediately struck a chord with viewers, many of whom could relate to the frustration of trusting a tailor to deliver a desired look. It became evident that she was disappointed with the result, which was far from what she had hoped for, and people shared her sentiment in the comment section.
Since the video went viral, it has sparked a flurry of humorous reactions from viewers. Many found humor in the outfit, drawing comparisons to the outfits worn by the famous Nollywood actor Kanayo O. Kanayo in his movies. The design, with its exaggerated style and unique pattern, reminded them of the kinds of occultic-themed costumes commonly seen in the actor's roles, leading to jokes about the outfit's resemblance to those used in such scenes.
Some viewers also made the connection between the poor design and the original concept by Veekee James. This sparked a conversation about how expectations were raised based on the inspiration, only to be let down by the final result. One user, 🌹JANE🌹, humorously reacted by saying, “when I saw it, I knew exactly that you were trying to recreate veekee James bubu dress 😂😂.” This was a clear indication that the outfit, rather than resembling the sleek and modern design by Veekee James, had gone terribly wrong in translation.
Another social media user, @Eri_toluwani, added to the humor with a playful comment, saying, “sorry oo but do you tell D tailor dat you want to contest for D post archbishop in your church 🤣.” This was a witty remark pointing out that the outfit looked more suited for an ecclesiastical setting than a glamorous fashion event, adding a layer of comedic critique to the situation.
Meanwhile, @Lacute 🥰 also joined the conversation, questioning the cost of the outfit by saying, “before I say anything how much did you pay because some people will see good tailor but choose to give incapable tailor due to their charges.” This comment hinted at the possibility that the low-quality work could have been the result of opting for a cheaper alternative, suggesting that sometimes cost-cutting can lead to unsatisfactory outcomes when it comes to tailoring and fashion in general.
Despite the disappointment, the video quickly gained traction, with people finding humor in the outfit’s failure to live up to expectations. The viral nature of the post also sparked conversations about the challenges of finding reliable tailors who can deliver on intricate designs and styles. Viewers sympathized with the lady, knowing how much effort goes into creating the perfect look for special occasions, only for things to go wrong at the last minute.
