A Cautionary Tale
Many Bridezilla story has roots in a friend or family member overestimating their sewing ability, and making a generous but miscalculated offer to whip up 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 suggested that my 21-year-old daughter, who makes her own clothes, could make the jacket for $200. That was my first mistake.
Once the bride turned up for the fitting, she did not bring the wedding dress (which was at the bridal shop being altered, so the jacket was outfitted 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 spent the bride’s money, and made the excuse that she hadn’t sewed with lace before, and that the bride to blame for not bringing the bridal gown to the jacket fitting.
She wore wedding dress 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.
