This is ridiculous. To scam teenagers on their prom is just downright greedy and unexcusable. Now that the public knows who she is, don't buy anything from her. Let her see that her behavior has consequences. It serves her right. She can't blame no one but herself!

As a fashion designer...let me give you some tips..... Always make sure your pick up date is at least 2 weeks before the event. Always buy a backup dress. And never pay in full. Pay a 1/3 or half the amount and the final payment the day of the pickup. It's sounds like Buffy got in over her head. Honestly she was trying but sometimes you think it will take a certain amount of time and it takes 3x the amount. I feel bad for them.

So did they go ? Conflicting interview ! Allways have a black back up dress ladies ! You can accessorize for any occasion ! A shall , a scarf , jewelry , a belt, a purse , shoes ! May not be as grand as a prom dress but you never know , you could be the next hit on tic tok for standing out but still looking glam !

Lesson LEARNED girls go with someone RELIABLE and REPUTABLE next time. I KNOW you all had NO WAY of knowing. So So SORRY you lost the opportunity to attend your prom. I wish something magical could have saved the day for ALL of you. I PRAY 🙏 something extra ordinary will happen to lessen your missed opportunity to attend your prom. I think this designer got in way over her head and wasn't able to meet her deadline. FOR $750 you can go to an upscale store to get a dress for future events. I PRAY SOMETHING GREAT can happen for ALL of YOU.

Anxiety is real! I feel so bad for the girls because this is a once in a lifetime thing! I suffer with anxiety and have lost jobs and clients because of my anxiety

[@cnashford2]

I'm so sorry to hear that. Praying for you. And hoping this dressmaker gets to improve. Anxiety is understandable, but making as though the dresses were basically done and on their way the *morning of* is shocking.

[@naynayjones9166]

Girl the dresses were not made, on the day so unless she had 2 month anxiety, the anxiety happened when she couldn't finish in time which she should have been upfront and said that..... also 3 dresses from scratch for 1 designer due on the same day, doesn't seem like good business

Sorry for your lost But those dresses wasn't worth that kind of money. You can purchases better dresses at a thrift store. And take it to a cleaner. The higher of the price or name brand does not make the dress better. It's how you wear it. I refuse to make a rich person rich even the more!

[@alliea9272]

First mistake i s being low income paying 750 for a dress, some people have zero common sense.

[@chinadoll534]

Very insensitive. All of us if not the majority of us in this world live beyond our means. People with money and live in nice homes get screwed as well. The point is you pay for what you want. And once you pay you should get what you paid for.

[@rreeves4770]

What makes you think that they are low income? How judgemental of someone that sits behind a computer screen and determines these individuals are low income. It appears they live in a middle income neighborhood of homes. The mom mentioned her high school daughter worked to save for her dress. "Low income" people can't have dreams and hopes? These people don't seem to be neglected or underfed. Most Americans live beyond their means. Stop being bias of people b/c of the color of their skin. You need Jesus for that judgmental heart of yours.

Evidently you don't have daughters. Prom has always been a BIG deal.

[@cynthiajacobs6370]

@@sexytrinny52 I don't have a daughter and would not spend that much money on a prom dress. I see this as a lesson on both sides. That money could have been well used towards opening a savings account or something more meaningful. They didn't appear rich.

[@1985battle]

@@sexytrinny52 I do have a daughter but based on the homes in the background they definitely stay in the lower end of the community. I could be wrong but if I’m not wth would you invest that type of money that sure cost more than your mortgage. I can see if you were will off but in my community we buy things we can’t afford all the time.

[@uncapabrew4807]

Spend that kind $ for prom is ridiculous . They go Way overboard these days . These are 17-18 yr old kids ! Rent limo’s - Parents throw down CC - Let kids Party all night at expensive hotels. With booze and whatever unsupervised. For sure we weren’t angels back in the day . It was hard enough to come up with any type formal dress $ . And the guys expected to rent Tuxedos . Plus NOT fair too kids Who has a single parent barely making rent! - Can ‘t touch the expense of a prom. Did I leave out tickets pictures ? I respect the High Schools that have a lock down PJ party at the school. No underage drinking driving. And supervised . That said Sad for for girl who ordered dress- And not delivered. Not sure - kinda sounds like maker borrowing from Paul to pay Peter. “ I myself felt like Prom a lot of pressure - Any dude invite What u gonna wear -“ I like him but he’s taking her. Too much emotion for that age - 🤣 He like her but she’s going with him- Definitely Be asking Where’s my money ?

@@cynthiajacobs6370 Smdh. Appearance doesn't determine one's wealth. The Mom said her daughter earned her money and paid for her own dress. U probably missed that though.

I have a feeling the dress colors were going to match the color of wigs they were going to wear.
