Something New Borrowed & Blue

The actual experience was fine, however, when I took the dress to my seamstress, she informed me the corseted bra was not needed even though they said it was because the dress itself had a corset. Also, the ribbons which corseted the dress was torn so badly, that one hard tug and the ribbon would have broken. When I visited the shop and informed them of both, the employee (I'm guessing owner) informed me that dresses were sold 'as is' and my response was that we were not shown the torn ribbon anytime during the purchase/trying on process. As for the bra, it was 'free', so I guess, according to her, I really shouldn't have a problem. Overall, I would recommend that everyone pay attention to what they're buying and inspect their dress very carefully. The 'oh well' response was very disappointing.
