PAST AND PRESENT In the past tailors were well-paid and appreciated. Those who created clothes for individual clients were trendsetters. They showed new fashion. Nowadays tailorsareless appreciated because of cheap clothes from Chinaand Bangladesh. Theseclothes are also made by tailors but it's mass production. The disadvantageof theseclothes is that they are made from poor materials and they are all the same. Most people buy them because they are cheap. Hopefully it will change. Nowadays people are looking for individual style. They are aware of fashion trends. They want to be original. That's why tailors are needed. People will order their clothes from good tailors.

MY OPINION In my opinion tailor is a profession that is disappearingnowadays. It's because of cheap clothes from Asia. I have noticed that a lot oftailors from my neighborhood closedtheir workshops. But I think that it's going to change in a while. People are more aware of good clothes. They want to have their individual style. They also see the exploitation of Asian workers. They want to give a job for Polish people,too. It's really important for thelocal business to work successfully. To sum up, people will ask tailors for clothes made especially for them more and more. It's more expensive but their work is better. Clothes are adjusted and of better quality. Handmade individual clothes are popular nowadays.
