Stiffing a Seamstress

The plaintiff, a seamstress, helped the defendant sew items together for a contest. They came up with an agreement that if the defendant won, the plaintiff would get 45%. She says the defendant hasn’t given her the money, so she’s suing. The defendant argues she paid the plaintiff and doesn’t owe her anything else.

It's an open event. You can't tell someone where someone is allowed or isn't allowed to be in a public place.

[@essflem]

@@ttyngordon its not about it being a public event, its about her extorting and then showing up and asking a photographer that was paid for by the defendant to take photos of her so she could claim that she designed the project.

Yes! That parT!

[@fitnessfocused]

@@ttyngordonIt wasn’t a public, as in public money funded, event. It was a private event and the plaintiff should not have gone if asked specifically not to, however, the defendant also did not have her trespassed.

[@Catloudan]

Plaintiff is horrible and she’s smug too.

[@NubianP6]

The plaintiff practically extorted that young lady in an effort to obtain something she was NOT entitled to. What would possess her to ask for credit for something that she did not design, and nearly half of the *defendant’s* prize? She’s delusional, and I’m glad she didn’t get a single dime. Anyone watching should avoid doing business with her at all costs.

[@folktraditionvintage]

Let’s be clear a designer doesn’t give credit to people who help them bring their creation to life. You think Ralph Lauren sewed his own designs? His seamstresses are all on payroll…they are not entitled to any extra mention or credit. The plaintiff is totally in the wrong.

[@scott4825]

If the needlework/sewing itself is truly remarkable (some amazing dress or something) than giving recognition to them would be reasonable, but it is something that should be spelled out at the beginning; however, this work appears really basic. I mean lower quality than a good set of curtains.

[@90sReign]

@@scott4825 I agree. The way she was talking, I expected more than what we saw. No wonder she needs to ride a more talented artists coattails. The defendant also said that she spent 3 hours fixing or undoing some of the plaintiffs work. What a ripoff artist.

[@JoJo_B2]

Girl shut up you were holding that lady’s stuff hostage & couldn’t even defend yourself 🙄.

[@scribe712]

The fact she tried to defend her blackmail is appalling. Even worse, she tried to take credit for someone else's design. I hope she loses future sewing opportunities.

[@vivienallen5513]

Take a good look at the plaintiff, she is unprofessional, a big bully and she blackmailed the defendant. There are millions of people watching this show and potential clients are now scared to hire her as a seamstress or designer.

I think what really happened is the plaintiff agreed in a rush to do way too much work for $150, and it stung more when the defendant was successful. But ultimately she shouldn't have agreed to that price, and the best thing she could do is value her time better in the future. She has no case.
