    Even the original video from Casze is full of red flags!!! 🚩🚩🚩
    Why is the dress a rush order being shipped a few days before the wedding when you said you’ve been working on it for 5 months?
    You said you wouldn’t come fix the train, but when they went to a seamstress because it wasn’t fitting right, you asked why they didn’t contact you to fix it?
    You said you spent too much time and money on this and you were done, but you were willing to fly out to try and harass the bride when it’s her wedding weekend?
    Not to mention doxing someone’s personal info and siccing your followers on them is never a good thing to do, but ESPECIALLY with the huge accusation of “stealing”, when they’ve already paid you THOUSANDS of dollars and the whole situation hasn’t even been resolved yet (they JUST got the dress for the first time like a day before Casze posted the video!)
    NOT TO MENTION the audacity to be upset the remaining balance wasn’t paid fast enough when the dress itself was delayed multiple times. The irony!

    You don't use E6000 glue because it stiffens up the fabric and affects the drape. It's only for costumes or craft applications. I suspect that's what is making the fabric stick out from the body and hang so poufy and stiff.
    One would expect this dress to cost more for the amount of handsewn beading required OR to use beaded lace trim artfully attached. For the record, the amount of beading on this would take a long time--longer than quoted--to do by hand.

    That “designer” purposely posted her video that Friday evening imo because she KNEW the bride wouldn’t see it since she told her she’s blocking her until Monday. She figured she would put her story out and since the bride wouldn’t be able to respond for days everyone would believe her and the bride would look “sketchy” by not responding for days.
    It’s absolutely insane that the brides address, phone number, place of work etc was leaked and that people threatened her, her business and even friend’s businesses. What is wrong with people?? They aren’t even a part of this problem and are threatening someone? Just insane!

    • @silentmuse6660
      @silentmuse6660 День назад +30

      Funny thing is that the bride said she didn't actually block the designer, she just said that because you know, bride was needing to focus on her freaking wedding that was going to be the next and not put so much unneeded energy on something that should've been less like pulling teeth then it actually was. So, since the bride didn't actually block the designer, that means the bride probably saw that designers video of lies *right before she was supposed to be walking down the aisle*. Which basically means that this 'designer' went more malicious than malicious probably has ever been in the history of the world to ruin this bride's wedding, life, and even the lives of the bride's family and friends with all the flying monkeys that were sent their way, all for what seems to be the bride saying that they didn't like the dress they had received and that the bride wasn't going to be talking to the designer until Monday so the bride could've somewhat enjoyed her newly married life.

      Yes, it’s an unbelievably risky thing to do. There is nothing you can do if you’re not within driving distance of your designer. In person, you would be doing regular fittings and you’d know if your dress isn’t ready way before a total disaster happens. I can’t believe people do this online.

    • @SyKnife
      @SyKnife День назад +35

      Professional here: DO NOT GET a CUSTOM GOWN ONLINE! Unless it’s a simple, plain slip dress, or a very well known and vetted designer. Everything you see online can be fake. Commissioning the most important dress of a lifetime from someone you cannot see in person regularly, without flying, is a very RISKY purchase. And if you do, the very FIRST red flag should be the time you bail out. This bride kept going back for more ridiculous behavior from the designer instead of realizing she’d been duped by a con artist. This designer is not a designer. So many of these people are not professionally trained and have no idea what they are doing. Buyer beware. Nice pictures on Instagram can easily be faked.

      I feel like that's an unpopular opinion, at least with gen Z brides nowadays but I so agree with you. I would never ever do that. Maybe I would buy a ready made dress from an online seller that I can find plenty of proof of being legit and high quality but I'd never put in thousands of euros into some random newcomer business. This is honestly what happens when children are raised with a "you can do anything" mindset with no ifs and buts. Running your own business comes with responsibility and you need way more skill than you think to satisfy costumers' needs (that rise exponentially with the price tag of your products).

    I don’t get how you are having issues with the whole stealing money/scam part.
    The “designer “ is trying to say she didn’t get paid and that she sent the dress without being paid and sent it in good will.
    The reality was the bride sent 60% payment already so she didn’t “ not pay” like the “designer “ is saying. She didn’t pay the remaining balance for a dress she was planning to not use and return. That’s NOT the same thing she’s claiming. She used that narrative to get money from people for her GFM and get people to attack the bride.

The bodice does not appear to fit her properly, it’s also asymmetrical in the back, the belt is crooked, the train is not centered, it may just be the pov but it also looks to have more beading on one side than the other. I’m sure there are several more issues that I am missing. All of those wouldn’t be an issue if the measurements and math were done correctly. Honestly this looks like the product of someone who either does not have much experience in sewing wedding dresses, was not careful with their math or measurements, was careless or rushed through construction.

      I realized reading your comment that they mentioned the original measurements were done over Zoom, so probably with the designer instructing the bride and a helper on how to take the measurements needed. I can see that working for a rough estimate of how much time and material would be needed, but it’s hard for me to believe you could actually start work on a dress based on measurements taken by someone with no professional experience.

      @@elizabethtangora4353 You'd need at least 2-3 fittings with the first being a rough muslin/mockup to make sure you got the measurements fit right the 2nd of the base dress and the last of the almost complete dress, the errors on that dress should have been caught and corrected at the muslin/mock up phase

    Oh you barely scratched the surface with this designer. The bride was actually incorrect, the GoFundMe was not taken down at the time of Reilly’s response, and if it was, it was quickly placed back up. A fellow RUclipsr checked, and it was still going.
    The designer has also had more past customers come out since this situation hit social media. With other women telling their stories of being scammed. As well as someone who knows the designer’s business model, of having the designs drawn up by someone else. The designer purchasing them and selling the design to customers.while the actual making of the dress including the beadwork, is outsourced and shipped to basic sweatshops. Where help is hired for a low wage, and then shipped back to the designer. This person goes on to say the designer doesn’t really actually sew, and doesn’t design the dresses herself. This would probably be the reason why she refuses to go out to the bride, and fix the dress.
    This point of the designer fixing the dress or not, was one point I was most confused about. Seeing as how the mother of the bride asked the designer to come out. The designer says no. Then turns around and tells her audience, if they would have only let me know, or sent me pictures, and kept in contact. I would have gladly fixed this. They did ask the designer. They asked her twice, and she refused both times. So how did she think to gain any sympathy for straight just lying about working with the customer in order to get the last 40% of her money?
    There was a ton of information that came out after Reilly made a response video. The designer is a scam artist who is not even paying her employees, and is asking her followers for money for who knows what. Not to mention the designer basically showed up to the bride’s city to get this dress back, but was going on live and commenting online to whip her audience into a frenzy. While the designer and her audience were threatening to physically assault the bride. This was a lot and that scammer did way too much! I don’t think the bride was in the wrong in any of this, and had every right to threaten calling the police.

    That was $500. I could not imagine dropping $3K and not receiving what was asked. THAT WOULD RUIN ME FINANCIALLY FOR A YEAR. Shoes and wedding dresses are not the same, but I am fully with the bride and how well she handled the situation.

I could not imagine paying $6k for a garment and getting crunchy fabric covered in glued on fake gemstones...no wonder it fit so unflattering 💀 that fabric is stiff in some spots and flowy in others from the glue. Let alone the fact that E6000 isn't always perfect and sometimes gems and such can fall off with an imperfect application.

      Ooor it’s the mom who finished her race and before doing so the kids dropped something on the other side of the fence. Instead of the dad picking it up for them or telling the kids ‘mom’s coming, we can get the toy later’, they waited for the mom to get closer to ask her to pick it up for them and didn’t congratulate her. Mom picks it up and says something along the lines of ‘you never get a break from being a mom’ before walking off.
