"She Had The Audacity to Ask Me For Extra Money": Lady Shares Photo of N60k Maternity Dress She Ordered

  • A Nigerian lady identified as Christabell has taken to social media to share her experience with a tailor
  • According to the expectant mum, she had paid N60k for a mermaid dress with ruffle tulle flounce
  • However, what she got was a far cry from what she wanted, prompting her to improve for her maternity shoot

What was meant to be a stylish maternity shoot turned out quite disappointing for an expectant mum who recently posted her own experience in the infamous 'what I ordered vs what I got' trend.

Identified as Christabell, the pregnant lady took to her Instagram page to share photos of the gorgeous dress she had commissioned a tailor to make and what she got instead.

In the photo collage, the original photo (on the right) sees a pregnant lady in a fitted mermaid dress with a dramatic ruffle tulle flounce - designed in a floor-length pattern.

Not only does the dress appear to lack fitting, but the flounce also seems to be lacking in volume - when compared with what had wanted.

Christabell who revealed she paid N60k for the dress, said she ended up using a wrap for her maternity shoot after almost cancelling it due to the disappointment.

She wrote:

"What I ordered vs what I got for my baby shoot. Apparently, 60k is too small to make this gown. I didn't collect the gown. Lady had the audacity to ask me for extra money. That her tulle wasn't enough. Had to wrap myself as last resort. If not for @frankkybella I would have cancelled my shoot. And this lady came with packaging and all that. Tailors wil frustrate you."

Stories about tailors disappointing clients are some things that will never change - not if Nigerian tailors have anything to do with it.

Yet another lady has fallen victim to a tailor's handwork, but her story comes with an interesting confrontation.

In the video posted by @aphrodite_zee on Tiktok, the lady is seen complaining about the dress, which appears to be a bit tight around the sleeves.
