Finally, a Maxi Dress!

maxidressI few days ago, I went to a dressmaker to have the maxi dress of my dreams be sewn for me but that didn’t happen because the dressmaker, who previously charge me 120 RMB for a long cotton dress, now like to charge me 650RMB for the maxi dress. I mean sure, the maxi dress should be more expensive considering that the material needed is silk but 650 RMB!? Is she crazy or what? I thought it would cost around 200-300 RMB and I did try to bargain but at some point I gave up. For that money, I can buy like five pairs of jeans and a dress. I went home disappointed and thinking that I could never have a maxi dress while in China because like I told you last time, maxi dresses are not that hot in China. Stores don’t sell it so if I want to have one I have to have it sewn for me.

But luckily, when we went shopping last Saturday, I was able to find and buy this maxi dress. It’s the only maxi dress I saw in the whole shopping area mind you and I am just glad that it fits me. Alright, the colors are not exactly what I had in mind but it still looks nice and it’s just 300RMB.
