While many tailors/designers have succeeded in putting smiles on the faces of their clients, the opposite appears to be the case for others.
In a post recently shared by fashion blogger, @asoebibella, a collage of a dress inspiration modelled on a mannequin is placed alongside a replicated version which didn't seem to turn out well.

The original design with sleeves made of multiple strands of beads was created in a mermaid style with a bejewelled bustline going all the way down to the hipline.
However, the lady's attempt at recreating the look didn't pan out as expected.

Not only did she not get the mermaid look, but the bustline was also designed differently and the sleeves were made of sheer fabric as opposed to the multiple strands of beads seen in the original design.
According to the blogger, the lady reportedly paid the sum of N140,000 for the dress.
