Good luck, hope it all works out.

I agree. If I hire a contractor and they don't do what I ask them to, I discuss it with them and we work on it until the job is to specifications. Same goes with a seamstress. Hopefully she'll agree to re-make the dress as ordered. If not, then I certainly wouldn't pay for it.

when you went there for th fitting the first time did you let her know that you weren't satisfied with the fabric and the way the dress was made? I know you said it was too short, but did you let her know of the other things that made you unhappy? I got a dress custom made and she picked the fabric out and such based on what I had asked for and I hated the fabric. When I went there the first time I let her know that it wasn't what I had in mind and she was able to change it before working on it any more. Anyhow, I do believe she should br compensated for her time, but not fully compensated if you're not happy with the dress and decide not to take it.

how did it go?

 

[chenilecee]

It actually went well. I was glad that I did not have to get ignorant on her. The only thing I didn't like about the dress was that it was too short and the fabric didn't look good as a dress. So I made her make it into a shirt.

Alls well that ends well...unless she messes up my shirt! LOL

Glad to see it all worked out!

I hope she reduced the price because a shirt is less material than a dress.. You sound satisfied though, so whatever happened was good for both parties involved i suppose.

Now I'm really curious, I want to see this shirt! I hope you'll post a pic when you get it.
