Panicked Bride Comes To Kleinfeld After Dry Cleaners RUINED Her Dress | Say Yes To The Dress

[@jemmaj2919]

You shouldn't need to pay twice, the tailor should be insured and claims the money against their business insurance.

[@TightyWhiteyTrash]

Well she definitely has to pay Kleinfeld twice because it wasn’t *THEIR* fault & not their tailor/cleaner. She can go back to the tailor & settle a claim w/ them

[@jemmaj2919]

@@TightyWhiteyTrash no one said it was their fault, you're not very smart are you? If she gets paid for the first dress by the tailor that's not "paying twice", that's getting a refund and paying again the same amount with no loss (assuming the same dress)

The first bride did awesome in the situation. She came into Kleinfeld's, explained her situation to the saleswomen and she ended up getting the dress she ACTUALLY ordered and wanted. Joan was a rockstar for going above and beyond by phoning to see if the original dress was even available. She did this without Lindsey knowing. As for the second bride, she may very well have been hysterically crying before the cameras showed her. My goodness people, not everything has to be taken at face value. Not everything happens WHILE the cameras are rolling! We should just be glad that the situations were taken care of and both had happily ever after endings!

[@dawnslight98]

She's hysterically crying, she can't communicate. Cuts to bride quietly weeping having a full conversation. Like really?

[@hildahighlander2586]

That's my thoughts exactly...it shows they greatly exaggerate and actually fabricate stories. It made me angry. I would be so angry if I were that bride. They flat out lied twice. Two different ladies. The first lady said the bride was "hysterically crying" and the 2nd lady said she was crying so much she couldn't communicate as she in condescending way tells a calm bride she needs to calm down in order to communicate. Maybe they need to stop lying and calm the F down themselves. What are they trying to do? Create a distraction to take a way from the fact that they didn't have it noted in the notes how the bride had communicated her desires from the beginning and probably charged her twice for it? These people are not professionals at all.

[@kattriella1331]

It's possible that she WAS hysterical at one point, and they opted to only show her after she had thoroughly calmed down and collected herself so they didn't embarrass her on television. It sounded like she's been experiencing a case of Murphy's Law, based on her saying "nothing can go right", so it seems like she's been having a particularly hard time with wedding planning. It's fully possible she had a complete meltdown in front of everyone, and they either didn't film it or didn't include it because that would just be a horrible thing to do to someone when they're at their most vulnerable.

[@catherinethibeault6636]

It’s a tv show. Edits happen for many reasons. They showed enough of the meltdown to get the message across and for dramatic effect, then cut to the bride in a calmer state. It doesn’t mean the meltdown was faked. Maybe the store made a mistake, maybe they didn’t. Who knows? Again..it’s a TV show.

The tailor and the dry cleaner have liability insurance that should cover the cost of replacing the damaged dress. She should not have had to pay for a replacement dress at all. The dry cleaner should have told her up front before attempting to clean/launder the dress that it could be damaged. These two 'businesses' should be OUT of business if this is how they operate! I do hope she pursues getting a reimbursement for the cost of the second dress. Given how young Randy looks, this may have taken place over a decade ago!

It is not fair. The Tailor & Dry cleaners should have Insurance. Or did they warn the bride that there was a risk?

[@willcookmakeup]

​@@krystaldispatchbetttymcgin7702 It seemed odd to me as well. Running a wedding dress is a huge deal and could destroy your reputation as a business. I don't think any dry cleaner would risk it if they couldn't properly clean a wedding gown. It seems like it was washed to me too

[@krystaldispatchbetttymcgin7702]

@willcookmakeup as a seamstress, I can tell you that most wedding gowns actually CAN be put in a washing machine if it's done correctly. Many bridal shops do this to keep their samples clean BUT there is a trick to it. You don't do it on dresses with any glued embellishments like appliques, beads or sequins, only sewn. You do it in a washing machine without an agitator like a front load. You turn the dress inside out and wash it on delicate cycle on lukewarm water using a detergent meant for delicates like Ivory Snow with double rinse and you tumble dry, still inside out, on cool until the dress is damp and then air dry it flat and press it. Most wedding gowns are made of polyester, even high end designers. People mistake fabric finishes for fabric fiber. Satin, for example can be made from silk, polyester or even cotton...what makes it satin is how its woven. Same with chantung, organza, tulle, etc. Most wedding gowns aren't anymore delicate than a normal dress, they just need to be handled a little differently because there is a lot more fabric to deal with. If you just throw it in a regular washing machine on warm water with regular detergent, you're going to end up trashing the embellishments, stretching the fibers and making the fabric limp.

She didn’t take it to a cleaner, only a tailor. It didn’t need cleaning. The point is not Kleinfeld’s being paid for two dresses; they should be. The point is that those responsible for ruining the first dress need to pay for the second one. I surely hope the bride was reimbursed.

[@thehungrygoldfish]

@@naturalPathsI am sure she was reimbursed but it wouldn’t have been on time for her wedding.

[@naturalPaths]

@@thehungrygoldfish I surely hope you’re right. She’s fortunate she was able to pay for the second one up front.

Im a seamstress. Never, not once, in the gajillion wedding gowns I have altered, have I ever needed to send a dress to a dry cleaner. The tailor got something on it, or let someone wear it. This looks like it went through a heavy duty washing machine. (Full truth here, wedding gowns CAN be put in a washing machine...in fact, man cleaners do just that) because most wedding gowns are polyester. Buuuuuut there is specific a way to do it. This wasnt it.

[@RevLeigh55]

She will sue the tailor and dry cleaner and get her money back, maybe with some extra.

[@etherealechoes9907]

That poor first bride. I can see why she loves it despite it being ruined it truly suits her. Those who damaged it should pay for it and be excessively apologetic! Seems like a lovely bride aswell.

[@starlingswallow]

Her original dress is _gorgeous!_ I'm so sad for her that this happened!! 😢

[@CristenWheatley]

My heart breaks for the bride who had her dress ruined and had to buy it a second time. My dad's girlfriend thought my wedding dress, hanging up in my childhood home, was my mother's dress. So she stole it out of spite. I'm almost certain she donated my $3K dress to Goodwill. I was lucky though that the dress was still in stock and heavily discounted. My dad agreed to fully replace the dress. We couldnt replace the matching rose gold tiara but thankfully i had kept the matching veil when i wore it for our courthouse wedding where i wore a different dress. My dream princess dress is hanging in my closet waiting for the day we finally have a big wedding for extended friends and family.

[@jeniferclemente1252]

Oh gosh, that poor bride.. A tailor sending the bride’s dress to a dry cleaner that destroyed it? She definitely needs to sue the tailor and the dry cleaner.

Wondered if tailor washed it or steamed it too much and sent it to dry cleaners for trying to restore it which it didn't.

WHAT is going on with the second bride?!?! She’s hysterically crying over a neckline?!?!?!

[@TakecenterStage]

It's contex, some of which we can't even know. These gowns are EXPENSIVE, and, arguably more importantly, incredibly meaningful. By the time they're in alterations fittings, it's also basically too late to reorder anything. Plus, brides go to Kleinfeld for absolutely exceptional service...Between original appointment and alterations, there's a lot of time (months!) to wait and build up excitement for what they were promised, all while continuing to plan. Like Randy said, they're close to the wedding day, and anxious. There is so much pressure, some of it lifelong. Long story short, she said she had a little panic-moment; you never know what someone went through leading up to a moment...but hopefully this comment helps. 😂

Keisha looks so pretty in this episode. I love the eyeliner. She looks like a sleek spy.

[@MrsBrit1]

They keep saying that dress is "destroyed," but I can't see what's wrong with it....?? I see no staining or lines. Maybe it's bad lighting or camera not picking it up and it looks just awful in person, but it looks fine to me.

[@spiercephotography]

If you look really closely, you can see some like splattered debris/lines close to the waist of the wedding dress. Basically they're like water stains, if that makes any sense? but they're hard to see until they showed the close up of the dress

[@naturalPaths]

You’re not likely to see on YT what can be seen in person. Also, besides the stains, the dress is apparently now limp - no body. ‘Ruined’ might have been a ‘better’ word, but in the bride’s world ‘destroyed’ is the only thing she sees. I don’t blame her!

[@Caldella]

I paused and full-screened at 2:40, and I can see what they're talking about. It doesn't show up well on camera, but there is a sort of bubbly overlay look on the fabric that is staining. At 2:44 you can see some of the straight seams have gone wavy, too, which means the dress is never going to fit correctly.

[@kathduncan9618]

Same. Would anybody really notice? The 'damage' looks fine and pretty invisible.

[@AryonaSamoto]

I kinda wonder if a dye job would fix it? But I'm sure the bride thought of that

[@davidbiddle3257]

As a male, I can’t really understand how a dress is the origin of so much drama, kudos to all of you for dealing with all that “stuff”.

[@thehungrygoldfish]

Well, the first one was ruined by a third party. That’s never good no matter what the situation is.

[@clwbchbabycakes]

Why didn't the tailor and the dry cleaner split the cost since they were responsible?

[@lisabaltzer4190]

One month before my wedding I didn’t have a dress or money to buy one. So I went to a fabric store and made the dress, veil and bought the shoes for $40 total in 1981. I got the shoes for $4 because nobody could wear that size 4 pair of shoes except me. The dress came out good and we stayed married for 40 years until the day my sweet husband died. It was a great 40 years and I really miss my Kevan.

[@JeantheSecond-ip7qm]

lol. My entire wedding and reception together cost $4500. Including the dress.

You have to sue the tailor and the dry cleaners...it's the only chance to get even some of the money back.

[@putul8963]

I don't understand why they have to order the dress that early. In India, you get custom made wedding lehengas ( which have much more intricate designs) within 2-3 months.

[@TemariNaraannaschatz]

Because India is basically the country of clothes making. Pretty much everywhere else you'll have ordering times for fabric and beading and trims and everything else you need. And most of it gets produced in India. Then there are labor laws that vary from country to country and how many people are active in the work field of dressmaking. Let alone if you have a designer dress where only a handful of people work on that need to have the time for it. So it needs to be ordered, then they might need to order materials, then it gets made, shipped, fitted, altered and fittet again. That's why it's so long. If you already have everything in one place you save a lot of time on that alone. And if you on top of that have more people who make similar dresses there are less dresses to be made per dressmaker.

Kesha is gorgeous and appears to be a very nice person.

The second bride being hysterical about the neckline makes me worry how she’s going to handle adulting. It’s a dress! Too much focus on the wedding. It’s the marriage that matters. I got married in my parent’s living room in a borrowed dress and shoes. 42 years ago. Still happily together.

The first one did not pay twice. The insurance of the taylor or dry cleaners payed, as did the show's producers and Kleinfeld. Also please do not get upset by your dress that much, make sure to have a great time with your friends and family and a nice marriage afterwards!
