Re: Bad experiences with designers- share your story here!
^Zobia, this thread isn't to say that O.M.G, every designer out there is horrible and out to get us so whether you become one or not, that doesn't bother anyone. What matters in every profession, not just designing, is how you treat your clients/customers. If they are gonna provide good service, how will anyone even get a chance to complain? There are some really good ones out there as well, you can read alot of positive reviews about designers such as Bunto, Sobia Nazir, Dr. Haroon, Nilofer, etc.
Yes I agree that sometimes customers tend to get rude and very picky, they shouldn't cross the line. As a paying customer, they do have a right to give inputs/ideas, after all it should be their choice also. But I don't think that as long as someone is designing good clothes, he or she should be free to treat their customers whatever they feel like. There are hundreds of them out there, if I am choosing to spend my money, it's not only so I can good clothes, I am also looking to be treated nicely and with respect. If I am going to hear crap from someone who I am paying so much money to make something for me, I might as well go to someone else who does not have an attitude problem. I am not going to spend my hard earned money on someone who thinks he's god's gift to mankind. If he can make good clothes, I am sure there are many out there who can make even better stuff. As alot of people have said here, it's half about the clothes and half about the service.
