Thank you beautiful parents for making sure she still went to Prom & tried her best to enjoy herself for her last moments of High school. Also by keeping it professional & cool all around. Great job.

[@binasings]

I love how Judge Milian gave the money to the daughter since she was the one who wore it. Judgment was very fair, and everyone was so likable. I didn't like the intro either... at the end of the day, if you pay for quality, you should get quality.

[@wvrjl]

I don't think it was fair. They should get the whole cost of the dress. What is his incentive to fix it properly? He's not getting more money, and he knows it's unlikely they'll go back to court.

[@binasings]

@wvrjl I see what you're saying however, there's cost of the material and labor that went into making it. Also, the daughter looked like she was having fun at her prom. If she missed the prom, she should have gotten the money back completely. She used the goods and she can use it again once it's repaired.

[@yvette83]

That was the highlight of the case, dad is a fool, he had me laughing so hard. Glad she had a good time anyway, some would have let it mess up the whole night. Great case

[@mitulu74]

Loooove this ruling.. I love how the parents encouraged her to still go to the prom even with her dress being ruined but I disagree a little bit on at the very end the judge kind of downplayed her feelings about wanting to leave early.. I think she was a good sport for going to the prom because she could have stayed home and pouted. 💪 we can definitely encourage and validate our children's feelings as well ❤

[@skmwiki]

I agree. I think she wanted to leave because she was worried the dress would rip more, which is completely valid!

[@neicetaylor3363]

I'm so proud of dad for sticking up for his baby at the end regarding the unnecessary full-figured comment the seamstress made to cover up his shoddy work👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. She had that same full-figured body size in the beginning when he accepted the job and her money, so the nerve of him to try to use that as an excuse now. FYI... She is a beautiful, voluptuous young woman. I also thought the judge should've awarded her some additional money for her discomfort during a monumental moment. She didn't have the magical, memorable, great experience that was supposed to come with prom night because she really couldn't relax and enjoy herself out of fear that the dress would rip more, causing her lifetime humiliation.

The defendant did not do a professional job from the start, an amateur might only sew a straight seem but a professional binds the seam, to prevent fraying, with a zigzag stitch all the way down the seam, he obviously did nothing of the sort AND his plain stitch was obviously far to close to the edge because it gave way. And whether or not she enjoyed herself, who wants to be wearing a dress that is ripping to pieces with every movement? They should have been refunded the whole amount and why should they have to have the defendant repair it, when he clearly doesn't know how to sew?...

[@rockobill7637]

totally agree...why in the world would you have him repair it when that's what you got for 600...also, where will that dress be worn again? I don't know, but where could you wear a dress like that other than to a prom?

[@hotjanuary]

I sew for myself. The dress is too tight at the hips and thighs. He’s the professional. He should know it’s too tight even if the girl doesn’t know and naively walked out of his establishment with the accident waiting to happen. Unless you’re using stretch fabric, you always add ease into the measurements so that the person can actually move and function. People aren’t mannequins. Clothes must be functional.
