So the wedding has gone without a hitch the weather was lovely. Then out of the blue you get a telephone call some four weeks later from the brides’ mother asking why the dress creased when the bride sat down.
Mother - “It had a corset so it should not crease”
The unfortunate age that we are in i.e. Not medieval means that corsets are there to hold you firm but not so that you have no ability to move or indeed avoid a sword into the heart from a passing Celt. Fabric creases it’s a fact I am afraid and if you bend over at 45 degrees can you expect your dress to withstand that?
Mother – “I want compensation for that fact the dress creased at the waist when my daughter bent over to pick her baby up. And it was creased when she got out of the MG midget car she booked for the journey from the church”
I bet she would like me to pay for it being cleaned while I am at it because clearly not only do wedding dresses not crease (apparently) they also should not get dirty when someone spills wine and gravy on them or the groom stamps his size 9 imprint on the train?.
So now we have to go through more legal rigmarole stating that the dress is not a suit of armour to every bride that comes to us and that if they want to bend that’s ok but don’t try and do a backward flip in the dress as this might crease it. I mean that’s what were here for stating the bloody obvious it seems.
