This
essay will elaborate on the same in the upcoming paragraphs. One of the most prominent reasons behind preferring readymade dresses over self-made ones is that

purchasing ready

saves
time
.
In other words
, knitting a sweater demands almost one month
time
, whereas it can be purchased within less than an hour.
Moreover
, saving
time
is a real boon for working professionals, particularly women as they are the ones, who are mostly involved in sewing and knitting.
For instance
, my grandmother enjoyed knitting cardigans for her grandsons but my mother being a doctor cannot afford to dedicate her precious
time
to knitting,
hence
she prefers to purchase readymade cardigans.
Secondly
, the majority of apparel in malls are fashionable.
However
, to stitch,
such
clothes
need special education and training. As the training facilities are tedious and not easily accessible,
people
do not prefer to get involved in the
skills
of stitching. To exemplify, my cousin 'Karan' closed his tailoring shop and opened a new readymade garment shop so that he could sell the latest trendy
clothes
and gain profit. My
country
India
is one of the fastest-growing nations. A decade ago, almost in every home in my
country
,
people
use to have a sewing machine.
In addition
to that, citizens used to offer sewing machines as a gift in functions like marriages. Nowadays, the numbers of working men and women have risen in
India
, which means that the lack of
time
for knitting
skills
made them abandon the same. To illustrate, my aunty Kamal sold out her sewing machine recently as she hardly get
time
to operate it. Another reason for adopting market
clothes
over self-made is that globalization, in which an Indian can easily purchase a cardigan from the UK,
similarly
an American can buy a 'Pashmina shawl' from
India
conveniently.
