My best " It's more fun in the Philippines to-date."

My partner had a formal gown that had been attacked by mice. Fortunately they had only chewed the hem at the bottom. 

I took it to a long time established tailors for repair rather than have to buy a new one as it appeared a straight forward repair. 

The dress consisted of a blue solid fabric to just above the knee, and the remainder was like a mosquito net material, still blue and it stopped about an inch from her ankles where it was finished off by a band of blue material running around the hem giving it weight to hold the dress down. It was this band that the mice had chewed. 

Fortunately it was only the very bottom of the hem that had been chewed so I suggested to the taileress to take the band off, cut away the chewed parts and to sew the good part back on. She suggested just rolling the hem over to hide the holes but it would have made the hem too thick. 

I collected the dress today and she had cut off the hem, removed the good part and sowed the chewed part back on.

There’s an episode from Seinfeld, where George steals a photo from his boss’ desk,  with his boss and his family, because George is visible in the background, and he asks a professional to erase himself from the picture. When he gets it back to put it back on the desk, it’s his boss who has been erased, leaving only George and his boss’ kids in the picture

Double like.  Defies logic.  Only in Da Philippines.  I am still laughing.

Lost in translation I guess. Time to get a new dress.
