As Ramadan draws to a close, tailors' shops remain open for bookings, but the usual rush for custom-stitched outfits has declined. Instead, ready-made clothing stores are witnessing an overwhelming surge in demand.
According to local tailors, their seasonal workload has dropped by 20-30% this year, with more customers opting for off-the-rack outfits. Shoppers say that ready-made clothes help them avoid long waits and tailoring hassles, making Eid preparations smoother.
Consumers highlight a 30-50% price difference between ready-made and tailored outfits, further fueling the shift toward pre-stitched garments.
Retailers confirm that pre-stitched dresses are selling rapidly, with many shoppers preferring the convenience and time savings over the traditional tailoring process.
