A Nigerian woman called out a suit vendor after receiving the wrong size despite paying ₦240,350 for a custom order.
In a post shared on the popular social media platform X (formerly Twitter), she revealed that she ordered a suit and a cowl neck top from the brand @29byAdele on April 10, 2025, with the total cost pegged at ₦240,350.
She paid ₦200,000 on April 10 and the remaining ₦40,350 the following day.
She explained that while another brand she patronized requested virtual measurements via video call and delivered perfectly fitting clothes, @29byAdele never requested virtual measurements.
Instead, they asked for her friend’s size-size 14-and later blamed her for providing the wrong size after delivering an ill-fitting suit.
Her statement:
“Good afternoon, guys. I ordered a suit and a cowl neck top from @29byAdele on April 10, 2025, costing ₦240,350 in total. I paid ₦200,000 on the 10th and the remaining ₦40,350 on the 11th. We had a conversation on Wednesday where they asked for my friend’s size, which is size 14. I also patronized another brand that did a virtual measurement via video call, and the outfit fit perfectly. @29byAdele didn’t ask for virtual measurements-just my friend’s size.”
“I contacted them immediately after my friend gave feedback, but they then started asking for virtual measurements-something they should have requested before payment. They’re trying to blame us for giving the wrong size. The trouser is too big and the suit is too tight; it cannot be adjusted.
“The confirmed size is 14, as verified by a designer in Canada. I spoke with their representative on Wednesday, who said the delivery would be on Friday-I should have known something was wrong.”
