(Baonghean.vn) - The sound of sewing machines running, colorful rolls of thread, clothes piled up all around with tailors working diligently... that is a familiar image on Dang Thai Than street, Vinh city.
 |
| Although ready-made clothes are available in abundance today, they do not always fit customers. This is also the time when customers need the skillful hands of tailors. As one of the streets specializing in clothing business for a long time in Vinh city, the need for clothing repair on Dang Thai Than street is very large. |
 |
Ms. Ngo Thi Hien Luong, a tailor here, said she has been in the profession for more than ten years. Before, she worked in a garment factory and then opened her own shop, specializing in sewing and repairing clothes. |
 |
Customers mainly come to cut the hem of pants, change zippers... and there are fewer customers who order tailoring, mainly office workers or middle-aged people. Depending on the customer's request and the sophistication of the clothes, the tailor will offer different prices. On average, the salary the tailor receives for each alteration is around 20,000 VND to several hundred thousand VND. |
 |
| For tailors on Dang Thai Than Street, on busy days there are up to 20-30 customers, but there are also days when only a few people stop by. However, almost every day the tailors have work to do, providing enough income to support themselves and their families. |
 |
| Ms. Le Thi Hoai, a tailor with more than 20 years of experience, shares that this profession requires skill and meticulousness, but at the same time, it also requires speed and a little bit of customer satisfaction. Because once you do what the customer wants and make it beautiful, that customer will definitely be satisfied and come back. |
 |
| Tailors mainly work from 8am until 6-7pm or later to deliver clothes to customers on time. |
 |
| Any customer who comes by will be measured by the tailors, asked about their requirements, or given advice on clothing styles to suit their taste and body shape. |
 |
| Not only can they fix clothes to fit their body shape, but under the skillful and diligent hands of tailors like Mr. Huy, Ms. Hoai, Ms. Luong... they can also cleverly "turn old into new" with old leather jackets... |
 |
| Not only Dang Thai Than street, many other streets and roads throughout Vinh city still have tailors quietly working on sewing machines, carefully and meticulously fixing each stitch for customers, beautifying each shirt and pants. |
