My friend needs our help!!!
Ok girls, my friend needs your help....
She went to an Amsale trunk show this weekend & perhaps got a little bullied into leaving a deposit with the salon even though she didn't pick an exact dress. She hasn't signed any paperwork, just left them $500, which they are saying is non-refundable. They told her if she left the deposit, they'd give her the 10% trunk show reduction off an Amsale if she ordered one.
She narrowed it down to 2 gowns, an Amsale & a Watters. So, she loves the Amsale gown called Sydney. She would like it, however, without the spaghetti straps. The salon is now telling her it wil be an additional $250 to have the dress modified. Plus alterations. My friend is on a budget & now the cost of the dress is up to $3400 + alterations which they are saying will be anywhere from $150-$350 (a.k.a $350+) Basically, her 10% discount just went out the window b/c they are charging her to take the straps off.
Did anyone here have factory modifcations done on their Amsale gown & if so, did Amsale charge you for it? I changed the beading on my gown & it didn't cost me anything. I don't want to upset her & lead her to think she's being taken advantage of... but I think she's being railroaded
Thoughts???
