Why a dress seamstress might not work on your wedding dress

I am a costumer and have to deal with wedding dresses on a fairly regular basis. Typically, I am the only one in the shop who will go near them — the “scary mess it up” factor exists even long after the dress has been worn and donated to my organization. Many private seamstresses who I have spoken with refuse to do wedding attire because brides (and other members of their party, like Mom) have a reputation for being crazy over their dresses. Most of us are not willing to deal with that sort of drama.

Get SLAIN by this black dragon scale dress

Winter is coming, my friends. Good thing we found this epic black dragon scale dress for any bride or bridesmaid who wants to be Mother of Dragons at the wedding. Subtle shiny dragon scales, a deep v-neck, a killer collar, and a puddle train — tell me this isn’t divine. If you’ll be forgoing a white dress, this black number can go goth, geeky, or just plain snazzy.
