Not a fan of trying on different dresses in a bid to find the right one, @jpepaa decided to have a Valdrin Sahiti design replicated.
According to Insider, she paid N3.1 million ($7,000) for a custom-made replica of the Sahiti gown from the designer who'd made her friend's dress.

"I feel like the design was simply not in the designer’s wheelhouse WHICH IS FINE but they should have known their limitations and been upfront about it!"
Madison Chamberlain:
"No no no no no this is not how the custom wedding dress experience is or should be!!! I’m so sorry yours went like this."
Janelle Patterson:
"I sew and I’m here to tell you, she did a horrible job on design & construction. Your final dress is stunning."
Bepe de beep:
"I mean I get if she didn’t want to copy the design, but clearly a dress like that was not within her skillset."

"The dress you wanted is a heavily corseted one, and there was no corset under what she made how could you get that waistline without a corset?!!"
Mercury:
"Omfggg the sleeves are baggy. The designer dead wrong."
