I have beef with this show bruh.
My mother is a seamstress and that job is hard. The back pain from being on the machine all day the hip pain from the pedals. Momma would bring these women over for fittings all the time, sometimes even poking them needles and these are paying costumers, let alone getting those costumes for free. Everyone knows this job is SO much easier with 2 people lift it up, twist it, model it, cut loose ends, why aren't those girls in there with him, for hours and hours being bossed around by him? He is giving them those costumes ready on a platter. Plus they never mention the costumes being itchy on the inside or having loose ends. That means this mofo not only making these costumes but he is patching and padding them on the inside, he is making them like regular dresses you are supposed to wear out.
The worst offender of all, momma grew up during Hoxha's communist Albania and they had better machine in the sweatshop she worked at than his machine. If you had to work on his machine for half an hour you would throw that junk on her FACE, his machine couldn't sew 2 post it notes together. Then they show him using the school sewing machine for better results. Bruh that school machine was still trash, garbagio my dude. Momma got that SINGER 2000$ that shit looks like a microscope my dude, 30 threads a second, it sounds like a machine gun, tatatata, and that job is still hard even with the best equipment. His machine was making 1 thread every 2 seconds. He might as well had hand-stitch them.
Another thing. The protagonist needs some attitude, this line of work will give you an attitude whether you like it or not. This whole subplot of the cosplayer going to the cops about perving yata yata. Just overcharge her bro. You want a costume? Of course I'll make it, 600$ or go to Don Quixote. Are you starting to understand me? Because this job is sO draining, you constantly find a way to make the most money you can for the least hours possible. You can't work 60 hours a week as a seamstress it's impossible you will get sick you need to work smarter. They should have shown minimum his vision deteriorating even in that short amount of time.
Also cutting corners the maid costume, they could have bought a regular maid outfit and added all the details of the character she is cosplaying.
I'm sorry guys I'm starting to realize this hits too close to home. Please ignore this review. My apologies.
