Bridal Perfections

I had hired the famous and loved Claudine of Bridal Perfections to alter my gown. One day I received a call from her saying that she moved up north and that she had passed my dress onto her friend (even though she had promised me that she would finish the dress before the move). It turns out that Claudine hadn’t touched my dress and by the time it got to Lillian, but I still trusted Lillian’s work, judging from Claudine’s high praises. To make a long story short, I had to go to at least six fittings and she still couldn’t get the zipper right (you can see a picture of my MOH literally sewing the back of my dress shut before the ceremony). In addition, she had dogs and cats all over her house, and one day, there was dog feces everywhere and on another day, cat vomit everywhere. When I had approached her about the second incident (thinking it was dog feces), she just said, "It wasn't dog feces, it was cata vomit." OKAY! In retrospect, I wish I had just taken the dress elsewhere, even if it meant I would have lost the money and even though it was just weeks before the wedding. She was also the sweetest lady in the world so I didn’t have the guts to tell her.
