There were also those who came out in support of the tailor. Some stated that the man behind the camera must be charged for spying and secretly recording people.

Some said that the tailor must be allowed to go free and it should be taken into notice why the two women went to a male tailor despite the rules and regulation set in place.
 
People have said that the tailor who is an expatriate probably belongs to a country where such an action is not frowned upon hence it was the duty of the two women to either not allowing him to take the measurement or to seek a female tailor.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is very particular about the mixing or mingling of men and women who have no relation. There has also been a ban on expatriate men from working in shops which make women’s dresses.

Slowly these jobs will be passed on over to Saudi women and no new visas will be issued to male tailors.

The aim behind this is to reduce unemployment of the Saudi people and to also significantly reduce the expatriate workforce employed in the Kingdom. One-third of the total population of Saudi Arabia is made up of expatriates.
