A Cautionary Tale
A lot of Bridezilla stories have roots in a friend or family member overestimating their tailoring ability, and creating a generous but misestimated offer to sew a bridal gown from scratch.The consequence can be an embarrassingly poor fit, the inexpert seamstress sensing imposed upon, and in numerous cases, a lasting rift between good friends.
My Bride to be friend chose a sexy strapless bridal gown which complemented her buxom figure. The gown was a component of an ensemble including a lace jacket which would supply more modesty, but $800 for the jacket alone seemed unreasonable.I recommended that my 21-year-old daughter, who sews her own clothes, could sew the jacket for $200.That constituted my first error.
When the bride showed up for the fitting, she didn’t bring the wedding dress (which was at the bridal shop being tailored, so the jacket was fitted over her street clothes.My daughter finished it the day before the wedding, and it turned out to be so large and poorly fitting that the bride began to cry and threw it aside. My daughter had already cached and spent the bride’s check, and made the excuses that she had never worked with lace before, and that the bride was at fault for failing to bring the wedding dress to the jacket fitting.
She wore the bridal gown without the jacket. I caught a bridesmaid’s gossip that she was concerned that the bride would pop out of the top of her gown. At my husband’s encouragement, I wound up penning the bride a check for $200. It’s hard to pin down who was at fault, but for the sake of a friendship I valued, I accepted responsibility.
