I have a dressmaking and tailoring staff. I do the designing of the clothes they work on.
One day, I ordered one of my staff to work on one of my designs - a long sleeved blouse with a wing collar. A wing collar is usually triangular in shape, narrow from the neck and widens on the chest; this collar style looks like the wings of a Concorde airplane.....that's why it's called a wing collar.
Anyway, so I drew the design of the blouse on a clean sheet of paper. As I always have, I drew a sketch of a woman wearing the design in an angular pose - her left shoulder nearer the viewer while her right shoulder away. Being an illustrator who's always conscious about anatomy and perspective, I drew the wing collar on the left chest slightly larger than the collar resting on the right chest.
Then I gave the sketch to my worker.
When I asked her to show me the finished product......
she showed me a blouse whose right collar is smaller than the left collar!

Yeah, it's kind of funny. Was she doing it to be smart, or is she just clueless?

I find it to be rather funny, but at the same time i find it sad that someone in the world of design wouldn't understand something so simple is depth and perspective....
I'm surprised that the right shoulder wasn't made smaller or that the right side of the blouse wasn't shorter than the left.

I certainly am not a designer but I purchase clothes--no I do not believe her waste of time was humorous in any way==not only was it a degrading smack in the face to you but it was a waste of time and material---I know it would not be much to fix but you are her boss and she humiliated you--that is not acceptable in my book

I guess it's kind of funny - how much time and material did she waste? Does she need more training?

Is she a new employee? If so, she needs training. Not funny.
