first fitting
i just had an almost miserable experience for my first gown fitting... but has anyone had a similar experience ?
what happened with me was this-when i walked into the dressing room there were two girls in there to help me get dressed- i said to them 'look, please dont take this personally, but i am Extremely embarassed- and i dont like to change in front of anyone. i dont even change my clothes in front of my sister-can i put the bra and the slip on, and then you can come back'? - and they said 'no prob, sure!'
well of course, i couldnt snap the bra... like, it seemed to not be wide enough so i asked my mom to come in and help me. she couldnt do it either, so she said 'excuse me, i think my daughter needs a bigger size', and then the head seamstress came in and she was all nasty - 'WELL, if you let the girls dress you like theyre supposed to you wouldnt have these problems' or something like that and i said 'im sorry, i just get really embarassed.... i just wanted to get the undergarments on alone' and then she started getting annoyed. so then i said 'really, its nothing personal; it could be you, it could be anybody....'
she got PISSED. she stormed out, slammed the fitting room door, ran up to the front, got the 2 (very sweet) girls that were gonna help me, told them 'COME IN THE BACK', she slammed more doors, mustve yelled at them.... freaking crazy! i felt HORRIBLE- my mom was about to cry....
seriously, im sure she cant be like that- she probably was having a bad night, or something mustve gotten lost in translation, cuz she got SO pissed. she was slamming doors, screaming, said we were rude to her, and then she REFUSED to help us LOL- and believe me, my mom wouldve kicked my butt if she thought i was being rude to the lady!
aggghh!!
other than that, i dont need much in alterations (thank god, otherwise i think she'd shred the damn thing), and i really like the dress... eyes on the prize, i guess
sorry about that- had to vent...
