New Consultant Fumbles Her First Dress Appointment | Say Yes To The Dress

[@miss_whipps]

It's crazy to watch this clip of her first solo appointment! Jessica turns out to be one of the best consultants there; she picks awesome gowns that respect the budgets and fit the visions of the brides. Being new to any job is hard... Especially if you're being filmed!

[@Justicia007]

She was absolutely awesome! She was so helpful and knowledgeable and the dresses she picked were perfect for the bride! I thought they fit exactly what the bride said she wanted. And I think she would have looked beautiful in either of the first two

[@martyliming6171]

I would think someone needing a dress that quick should’ve had a longtime kleinfields consultant. Just because of knowing the stock better. This young lady did great!

[@xxxx-qo9dh]

Totally agree, this looked much like a set up.

[@alyssa_c1232]

Honestly I think the consultant did amazing. Having a bride who’s taking the dress that day is always hard, even Randy and others struggle when a bride comes in asking for a dress then and there. She definitely understood the brides vision and I’m sure if they had more time they’d have found the perfect dress! They threw her into the deep end ❤️

[@denisemanley5318]

I don’t understand why skying is more important then getting your wedding dress. Expecting to walk in and find your dream dress is ridiculous!

[@mariesmith1616]

Absolutely right. Jessica did great understanding the brides vision. Maybe Randy was a little rocky then too. The first dress was beautiful on her and he just said it was a good start.

[@janparish8055]

I would have found Randy’s constant interruptions really annoying. He shouldn’t interfere unless she asked for his help. I believe she could have sold that first dress if they’d left her alone!

I am a teacher which is challenging too but I overcome those challenges. I have parents and students in my face all the time which is way more difficult than this and I never complained like how you all are for this lady. I guess you have all been too pampered and have had too privileged of a life that even one scratch on your arm would be a big problem.

[@edgygyal]

@@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj YOU ARE SALTY because you think if life treated you unkindly and you normalized it for yourself, it should be same for others too. A job can be simple and still challenging, the two things are mutually exclusive. Good for you that you overcame things on your own but in a world where people dont have same IQ, critical abilities, physical and mental stamina, emotional strength, you can't expect them to handle things with same attitude. Be compassionate and then may be universe will return the favor.

She did great, imo. Got the styles right for the brides taste and figure. 👌

[@s.susanmarandi9080]

Who gives a first-time consultant the job of finding a wedding dress for someone with only 3 weeks to the wedding and limited budget, AND traveling from Serbia?! I'd say those in charge were the ones who fumbled.

[@blueice011]

The bride wanted a dress she can take with her, she had simple requests and adequate budget for simple sheet gown she wanted. She was sample size above all that. She wouldn't do alterations at Kleinfeld's. Consultant did good job for the first time in cut-throat environment. Bride simply didn't find anything she loved. No harm done.

[@AmySpencer-z9e]

It was her first time…I think she’s going to be great! She has a lovely way about her and is easy to talk with. She was spot on with those first two dresses.

[@azeen6821]

Talk about harsh. Jessica did great, its not her fault the bride only had 3 weeks and a limited budget. Her picks were what the bride described and she just didn't like it. But she did her job well, asked for backup when needed and listened to randy, management and the bride

It's so sweet when people really think that they are all smiles and OTT excitement about their wedding, groom and venue, wanting to meet every single one in their entourage and acting like their bestie. They have job to do and they work on commission. They would be psychiatric cases if they go genuinely so enthusiastic over every single customer they have. it's difficult job, Especially in places like Kleinfeld's.

Would the appointment taken so long if there hadn't been all those interruptions? I mean WOW!

She had it with the first 2 dresses.

[@thoughtsideas6929]

They weren’t mean - they were nice and also did their job as supervisors. Everyone did their best w tough circumstances

[@jimrebr]

Jessica did incredibly well, I liked the dresses she pulled, except that architectural nightmare, but that’s not her fault and why was dress that wasn’t supposed to be with the clearance samples even in the wrong storeroom? Plus, the bride waited till a few weeks before her destination wedding. I’m a florist & live in a very tourist town, on an island surrounded by 1,000 more islands, so I have had numerous experiences with wedding couples showing up the day of their wedding, wanting me to arrange and make their flowers. People are so inconsiderate of working peoples time, unfortunately. Poor Jessica should never have gotten that situation as her first appointment, wrong…

[@blueice011]

US wedding industry is very different than one overseas. In Europe, where the bride was from, the entire wedding dress shopping/making lasts up to a month at most. Unless you are going couture, bespoke hand work. Otherwise, making the gown to measure, from the scratch lasts up to one months at most. If you need just alterations, or you are renting, you can have gown in a week. Business like Kleinfeld's should have way more alterations' worker than that dozen of mostly Eastern European and Asian ladies that they keep in the cellar. If they employ more people, customers wouldn't be forced to purchase dresses over a year in advance. Because many things can happen in such a long time. But then, stores wouldn't be able to make such fuss and hype about wedding dress purchasing, which contributes to general hype created around bridal industry with one goal only - money.

[@kathiehowell7234]

Jessica did great! Under pressure and kept her cool, presenting very good choices to the bride- come- lately!

[@DLSydor]

The 1st one was the right one ❤

[@GH5050-SO]

I love this brides style. She looked beautiful in all these unique dresses.

[@NadaStievater]

The consultant actually did understand the bride's vision very well. It is hard when bride comes 5 to 12. My personal favorite on Mirjana was the 1st dress. :) Randy was respectful, the teammates kind of forgot that they have been new there once too.....and we have definitely seen the more unusual appointments in this series. Like when the brides comes and says - my budget is 3k and the consultants bring 4,7 k dresses :). Well it is a show after all. The dresses are definitelly very pretty, they should highlightingmore of other than Panina's collection in general. Girls love this kind of program.

[@karenstieglitz3443]

Amazing how Jessica, despite running into some challenging situations, managed to remain professional, friendly and upbeat!! She was also so bright in knowing when she had to seek help!! She's going to be a star consultant!! More time should have been allowed for this appointment so the bride and the consultant did not have to be under that kind of time pressure. Why were the appointments booked so close together?

[@KristinaBenoit]

I feel like a lot of us can relate to Jessica's first day on the job.

[@romypotash7114]

Jessica did great, abd rhe most impressing part is the complete lack of ego is a rare quality, she had zero problem saying " I need help" i agree this is "for a first time" but she did great for a first time

[@ashleymarks3726]

the bride didn't help coming in 3 weeks before her wedding. that added so much more stress on Jessica. she should have had her dress picked out and ready months ago!

[@blueice011]

No, she shouldn't. That's what bridal industry trained people to do. To shop their wedding dresses year in advance and praying that nothing happens in the meantime. They knew very well (bride told them when booking an appointment) that she wants something that she can take home with her. She had healthy budget for type of dress she was looking for (simple, sheet silhouette) and she was sample size. She wasn't going to do alterations at Kleinfeld's. In Europe, the entire dress making/altering process lasts up to a month, unless you opt for couture gown. And even than you don't wait for months, let alone a year or more.

[@woowoochuggachugga]

I was stressed for Jessica.

I thought she pulled some really good dresses, although I have NO clue how that one was actually supposed to be arranged. The first one was awesome! In budget, fit her perfectly, looked beautiful on. The bride seemed to like it. Wish she'd have picked that one; it wouldn't been amazing if she chose the very first gown Jessica showed her on her very first day on her own.
