One woman took to Facebook to share the shocking story of her cousin’s wedding dress saga, where the final result was truly hideous, Australia Lifestyle Yahoo reported on Thursday (May 30). “Help my cousin recoup her money for her wedding dress,” the woman wrote on Facebook. “She waited three months to have this dress custom made and the ‘designer’ kept taking measurements and delivered this at the last minute.” Sharing a picture of her cousin’s chaotic bridal look, the original poster further stated: “He refused to refund the money for the dress and stated that funds were spent on material for this piece of mess.”
A bride-to-be was left with the most atrocious wedding dress despite being fitted for the gown

The unflattering gown featured a poorly tailored lace pattern and looked like it had been made with fabric of low quality. Additionally, the bridal look seemingly featured three white rosettes tacked on haphazardly, which clashed with the rest of the design and looked out of place.

She continued: “The designer took the measurements. “They didn’t use the measurements. “Did they run out of material? What happened? “I get what you were going for, but it’s not even, it doesn’t even look like this.”
The astonishing final product rocked social media
Jessica compared the final result with a picture of the wedding dress the bride was originally inspired by, as her cousin had shared on Facebook. “Give that woman her money back,” the TikToker argued. “I would love to know how much was spent. How much did they ask for?” Viewers were left completely baffled, as a TikTok user commented: “Call the police and a math teacher. “What did they do with the measurements??” A person wrote: “I can’t sew but I reckon I could make a better dress.”

That’s all I’ve got,” a netizen added. A separate individual chimed in: “Are the measurements in the room with us or well the designer?!?!” The cost of a custom-made wedding dress in the USA typically ranges from $2,000 to $8,000, according to Zola and Josabi Mariées, with high-end designers charging between $10,000 and $15,000 or more for couture gowns, as per Angela Kim Couture. Factors influencing the price include the complexity of the design, the quality of fabrics and embellishments, and the amount of handwork required. Custom gowns involve detailed design consultations, fittings, and alterations to achieve a perfect fit and unique style, Josabi Mariées and Angela Kim Couture explain.
