How could the dress have been ready for pick up when the plaintiff never came in for a fitting?

Telling the girl her dress was done and she would have to buy it but bringing the UNFINISHED dress to court is nasty work!! lol

I don't care what it is for. If someone ask for a dress custom made and needs it under 2 weeks...don't do it. Especially around the holidays

The defendant was not gonna have that dress done on time PERIOD

She didn't have it ready and STILL doesn't have it ready. #Refund

I believe the defendant may make lovely dresses but her business practices are deplorable.

Their skin is flawless (both gorgeous)

Defendants eyelashes look like black out curtains.

Waiting until 9 days before New Years for a custom dress “isn’t smart”‼️

I would rather go into a store and find a nice dress. Having a dress custom made is expensive and nerve wracking.

The defendant is a POOR businesswoman. It is NEVER okay to ignore clients after they’ve paid money.

Why put on 20 lbs of eyelashes if you are wearing your hair in your face….

"You told me to take you to court."🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

If the defendant really made those dresses she's super talented. She needs to hire an assistant. Admin is a skill that she clearly doesn't have and as bad as she is manager her calendar and correspondence with clients, she's probably just as bad at money management. Hiring someone would help her business tremendously.

Woop!!! That stare down at the beginning.. 😂😂 this gonna get messy!!!😂👀👏

And she still thinks that it was OK not to answer the text! She learned nothing about being a businesswoman. There’s nothing, I hate more than being ignored by a business when I asked a question.

I'LL SAY IT AGAIN, GO TO A BOUTIQUE 😅

The defendant covered ALL of her natural beauty with bangs and bat wings smh

The defendant wants to keep the fabric for someone else and make more money off the client/plaintiff. We call people like this scammers and liers. First the dress was cut now she asks for the fabric o it was made. Which one is it. Clearly not made for the client who purchased it.😂

She said the dress wasn't finished, but then said it was.

defendant looking like lamb chop the puppet

Texting and messaging is smarter to do nowadays because now you have proof of the conversations. If it was through phone calls there wouldn’t be any proof of any agreement

Who would the defendant bring a unfinished dress to court.🤔

Defendant looks like Mr. Snuffleupagus with those eyelashes.

If Keenan Thompson had a sister I bet she would look like the plaintiff.

How did the defendant look in the mirror and say, "Those lashes look good?" Ridiculous

I think she should get back the money for the ticket. She’s sooooo mad LOL

Text is proof. So it’s a good thing she texted so much. Plus, a business person in this day in age should expect texting as a form of communication. But I bet even if she did call the defendant wouldn’t have picked up anyway.

Her dresses seem beautiful but she doesn't seem to have very good people skills or time management skills.

She said “no! I never get to touch anything, give me it!” 🤣😂 I LOVE Judge Milian!!

The defendant was wrong. She knew she couldn’t do it in that time. On Dec 7th she knew she had other outfits to make. Then she took over 2 weeks to send her the invoice. Also the no communication isn’t a good sign, atleast say something to her.

JM is so out of touch expecting the Plaintiff to continue to go to the party. That’s insane

Defendant should respond. Poor business practice

Side note: the defendants jacket is chef’s kiss

JM was right about the fact of ordering a custom dress months in advance in case of something going wrong. And, always have a backup outfit from a department store if necessary. Some store dresses are gorgeous.

I’m kinda like the plaintiff lol I probably wouldn’t have went either. It’s so hard to find a dress very last minute. But I also agree on the other hand that I would’ve planned for my dress months before this party and definitely would’ve had a back up if it was getting that close to the wire .

Ooooo, that stare down 😂

The judge doesnt understand that 'Chic' isnt a party that you can show up wearing SHEIN lol its a huge gala where ppl dress to impress so i get why the plaintiff didnt go.

I have been to the party she is referring to, it is not for custom outfits at all. Some folks even show up looking busted.

It’s smarter to text so that you have a record

UGH, her business is raggedy! Why does the plaintiff have to suffer, because you have poor business acumen. Also, unless she can prove those fittings were scheduled before she got served for court that she claims she canceled, she should not get a damn thing!

The dress would not have been ready on the day. If she did start on it, more would have been done to be brought to court.

These hustling women don't know nothing about Business.

Sometimes Doug makes no sense. Why would you encourage a person to call instead of text? We’ve all learned from this show that it’s better to have things in writing. Duh, Doug!

Woman, those lashed have to stop!

Doug asked the plaintiff why so much texting instead of picking up the phone and calling. Fortunately she did mostly text. It made this case much easier for JM. The defendant was trying to say the plaintiff cancelled, but the text clearly showed it was justified sure to the defendant's poor communication. JM had it right. The defendant bit off more than she could chew!

She didn't finish cause she couldn't see😅

Defendant is very UNPROFESSIONAL!!!!!

In this case, the plaintiff is extremely frustrated and upset due to the defendant's lack of communication. Furthermore, the absence of a clear appointment for a fitting highlights poor business practices on the defendant's part. Cancelling the dress order was a good decision, but missing the New Year's celebration was not. I understand the plaintiff's frustration; the purpose of having a custom-made dress is to showcase it. Nonetheless, a backup dress should have been considered, as New Year's Eve is about celebrating with friends. The defendant creates beautiful dresses, as evident in her final product, but her business practices need improvement.

Lord the amount of immaturity and poor professionalism I see on this show is astounding. Don’t these so called business people realize they need to put feelings aside when business is concerned… Also these people are lying when they say they don’t go to certain events because of a dress.

She should have never taken the order knowing she couldn’t deliver.

How does the defendant even see

Those eyelashes are Crazy!!! Unbeweavables! 😂

The plaintiff looks like Yung Miami.

Bad business practices. That dress was cute though.

Where was the plaintiff getting a dress on new years?

Two beautiful women.

Did the defendant mention her business name ? I need to know it so I won’t use her 😩🤣

That blue Nicki dress was iconic!😍

Nahhh the fact she didn’t even have it ready for court is hilarious 😂

It’s the judge yelling at her for not going to the party for me. This is exactly why I hate watching this show. The judge is so irrational, loud n wrong most times. She didn’t feel cute so she chose to stay home so now she deserves to be berated for that? Bananas.

Doug hushhh!!! She shouldn’t have to pay her AND push her! And if she didn’t have those texts as proof she wouldn’t have gotten her money back! 🙄🙄🙄🙄

The day of the party is too late. She hadn't even had a fitting. She doesn't have a clue if she'll be able to get ready. Sheesh. Refund the woman's money.

Everyone wants to be an entroreneur just because they have talent, running a business takes much more than talent. A successful business is often based on relationships with customers and how you make them feel. If customer service is lacking or nonexistent, most likely the business will fail or profits will be under potential

14:09 the defendant looks like nobody is home 😂

The defendant needs someone to handle her admin work if she can’t/wont

I am rather buy my dress at Walmart or target then I know I’ll be ready for the party.

In almost every case involving custom clothing, the designer comes across as poorly organized, and fails to deliver the promised item on the promised date.

It doesn't matter if she went or not she paid for the dress. She needs to be compensated

I can’t stand people like the defendant. People that don’t respond to vital messages. Knowing damn well they read them. She’s a business woman, you cannot tell me she doesn’t have her phone on standby. Her phone is her money. And I don’t believe she canceled 5 consultations to come to court. C’mon now. She is not an exclusive designer.

I hate when the judge does that if your not feeling cute or like your not going to match the even why would you go come on judge

You know I just love how the audience members give the side eye when the litigants walk in.

Who is lying to the defendant and convincing her that that wearing tarantulas on her lids is a good look? Oh that's right her friends ... ewww

I’ve watched my aunt, with a machine from the 60’s do 3 Prom Dresses, FROM SCRATCH in 2 days! She looks like, she’s always in the scene & she should be… BANGING OUT THE WORK! I bet HER DRESS was ready.

That girl Was a scammer lying about making her dress🤦🏼‍♀️

The defendant was lying like no other. She has no professionalism.

The girl that said the dressmaker did have the right to say that because she told her that it would not be ready until the day of. She no damn well if she paid somebody to make her dress she would not accept the fact that it would be ready the same day. There could be alterations that need to be done so shut up And of course she could have picked up the phone and called the seamstress but what kind of proof was she had had the way she had it through text?

6:35 "Ooo there's alot of skin going in there" 🤣🤣

The defendant is unprofessional

Looking and Feeling Special is a mental and emotional issue. Your perspective is what matters

I think the defendant bit off more than she could chew. Her pieces were beautiful but she just failed to produce a finished product for her client. Time is of the essence and I think this will be an eyeopener going forward. She's human. She carried herself well and she's pretty despite the negative comments about her eyelashes.

When dealing with these things, get the dress made way before the event. And have several dress fittings before.

Defendant's hair looks amazing, loving the 70's bangs

They seriously need to put business and law into high school education. It's great when people start their own businesses but most people don't know a lot about doing business

Honestly reading the comments are the best part , ya’ll amazing 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

“You are not a model “ 💀💀💀

This seems like part of the defendants scam ..hoping people will cancel so she can keep money

Does the defendant think it's cute to have a wig in her eyes along with the horse sized fake lashes...just classless.

Sounds like she needs an assistant

Homies toupee is killing me 🤦🤦

Defendant didn’t want to loose multiple customers; she knew as friends they might all cancel.

Talk about unrealistic expectations.

i like her blouse and the defendant's jacket

Judge gets on my nerves with “if you didn’t go, blah blah”. If it’s for CUSTOM dresses, and I PAID for a dress to be done and the deal wasn’t botched til the last minute, then why would I scrape up extra dress money at the last minute?? Everybody doesn’t want to go everywhere looking a mess in something they found at Dillards.

The defendant took the lady’s money and wouldn’t even confirm that she received her payment. I run a small business and my clients immediately get an automated email/receipt from me confirming their purchase and timeline.

The defendant is life. These bootleg style is. Lack of communication. And then they don’t want to provide a refund when they drop the ball. I hope no one goes to this woman again.

Texting is paper trail

Judge Milan is so annoying!!! You can’t tell her how to feel !!

“A day before December 7th” told me exactly how this case was going to go 😅

She couldn't pick up the phone cause her lashes got in the way.
