Jessie lucked out, because my mom knows how to alter clothing and just altered the dress and sewed on some extra pearl bead detailing to match the original design. <BR/><BR/>Even if you only know an avid quilt maker. They will 90% of the time be able to help you not pay the ridiculous fees involved.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13776557.post-53466486446451575692008-02-25T14:10:00.000-08:002008-02-25T14:10:00.000-08:00Why am i not surprised that this show is on the fu...Why am i not surprised that this show is on the fucking 'We' network.

Think of it like buying produce. You put the produce in the scale, weigh it, and you're charged according to the per lb. price. Of course out of season and certain other produce items would cost more than, say, potatoes, but that's to be expected. For a dress made with crappy fabric, you pay less per lb than a really nice dress.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13776557.post-48294064710692230202008-02-22T15:12:00.000-08:002008-02-22T15:12:00.000-08:00I hate that shit. True story:I had to buy a bride...I hate that shit. <BR/><BR/>True story:<BR/><BR/>I had to buy a bridesmaid dress in one of the large sizes, but then get it altered to be 1) shorter, and 2) smaller at the waist. Apparently I am not shaped the way dressmakers feel I should be shaped. Damn me. So I had to pay something like $30 extra for the large size, and then $70 for altering. <BR/><BR/>The dialog I had with the shop employee:<BR/><BR/>Me: "So let me get this straight. I have to pay extra for large size, and THEN I have to pay even more to make the large dress smaller. Is that correct?"<BR/><BR/>Employee: "Yes."<BR/><BR/>Me: "But...you're cutting out half the extra fabric. Ya know, the extra fabric that justifies charging more for the large size."<BR/><BR/>Employee: [no emotion] "Yes."<BR/><BR/>Me: "So actually, you're making triple the amount of money on a dress that will end up with the exact same amount of fabric as a size 6 dress. That's brilliant capitalism, right there."<BR/><BR/>I agree with you on the sliding scale, but apparently, Mary, you and I make too much sense for the fashion industry.N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08710193434462114924noreply@blogger.com
