Can we talk about how articulate, polite and intelligent everyone was here today? Even though the plaintiff is a single mother, you can tell she raised the hell out of those kids and the defendant was educated, professional and killing it.

Judge Mathis just loves to hear himself talk. Can we please get to the case 🤦🏽‍♀️

He really spent damn near 10 minutes just talking about everything but the case!

Judge Mathis is really becoming that one uncle who is going to talk your ear off at the family bbq when you just really want to get some food and sit down and mind your business 🌭 🍖 🍔 😭😂

She stole her mom’s whole face🥰

Nah a six minute rant before the case even begins is crazy! 😩

Actually the dress was beautiful!!! They just didn’t want to pay for the dress.

The lady sounds like a caring business owner. She tried to resolve the issues several times. I feel some people are never satisfied. That dress was beautiful.

I know I’m going to get flack for this comment.. but $1200… for a prom dress?? We turn prom into a whole wedding! My daughter is a straight A junior, going into her senior year.. and I informed her that the limit is $200.. she wanted a “custom” dress like her friends for jr. Prom.. we ordered a dress online that we were able to do “custom” measurements, but it was $135. After going to jr. Prom she said.. yea we were in there dancing, laughing and having fun, no one was worried about their dress so we don’t need anything expensive next year. I said.. yep, we can find something nice that’s not breaking pockets.. nobody is going to say “darn your dress only cost this much?”… just go and have fun and don’t try and keep up with the Jones.. you’ll be off to college and we need that extra money for dorm room stuff.

This young lady is an inspiration to me and I’m 32! She’s pursuing exactly what I want to be. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I'M VERY PROUD OF THE YOUNG LADY!! I WISH HER WELL.

Stormy did a great job. Free promotion on judge mathis for her business

That dress was beautiful I honestly feel like they trying to get over and get they money back . She wore the dress to prom. If there really was a problem they should have spoke up then and never paid for it . The rip in the dress could have easily been repaired if they contacted her . They tried to take the dress and the money too Smhl.

the actual case starts at 6:26 - everything before is JM preaching and with a period after EVERY WORD!

She should have tried on the dress before walking out the door that last time.

I don't know why they thought they was going to get all the money back for the dress when they kept it and used it. They were only out the repair cost.

That's ridiculous for a school prom dress!

Get to the damn case!!! Girl Bye she wore the dress....won't be getting that 1200 back. Great judgment.

She wore the dress. The lady needs to be paid for her work. I think the ruling was fair.

Amazing young lady, As she speak of her grade point average, and the school she will be attending. Im sitting here grinning

Why would the seamstress wear that get-up on national TV?🤣

Why are we buying $1200 Prom dresses for our teenagers? Y’all are doing too much! Sounds like buyers remorse and JM decision spot on!

The defendant is going to get a lot of business after her potential customers see this episode. She's willing to work with her customers, she's pleasant and the dress was beautiful!

This was just buyers remorse. The lady made a new dress because they didn’t like it, I’m sure she would have made $45 worth of alterations. 😒 I get it though, they realized after prom what most of us realized as soon as the said $1,200… That $1,200 is entirely too much for a teenager to wear to prom. Not worth it. That could have been used towards her future college expenses.

$1200 for a prom dress?

Judge Mathis rants are too long.

Thank God for the speed up button because Mathis rants too long sometimes. Wow 6mins wow JM lol

Why would a single mother spend $1200 on a designer dress 👗? She could have bought something off the rack much cheaper

Judgement was totally unfair. The designer understood and completed the assignment and shouldn’t have to pay anything since plaintiff wore the dress for the prom.

Judge Mathis needs to retire. He’s starting to make poor choices far as not listening & just rambling on about nothing. I watched a few episodes where he’s not making the right verdict 😡🤦‍♀️😩😡😡😡

What's really sad about paying that kind of money for a prom dress is that many of our parents have their priorities mixed up. This $1,200 gown was not worth it, and having her breasts hang out of the dress was not only inappropriate, but it was also classless. This young lady is going to Xavier University and that money could have been used for college necessities. As a 6-12 teacher, I continuously tell my young female students that their parents are dressing them more and more like adults. What that in turn means is that when you start looking like a grown (nails, eyebrows, eyelashes, professional make-up, and fake hair) woman, grown men start to notice you. As the person who plans the 8th grade prom, I make sure that I emphasize that breasts, backs, and midsections are not to be shown. The students really fight me on it, but I stand my ground.

A single mom of five commissioning a $1200 dress? Also there’s no chance in hell my high schooler is wearing a dress with a plunging neckline. Just wouldn’t happen

Mathis need to take his medication smh y is he being so rude and short to the young lady, she was being respectful and explaining everything very well …..smh he can get on my nerves at times, he can be to rude and short to those that aren’t doing anything wrong. If you tired of being a judge bruh retire💯💯💯💯 be honorable. Praying for his deliverance in Jesus Name🙌🏽🙏🏽

I try to stick in there some days but not today. 🥴🥴🥴 The damn rambling🥴

She didn’t need to be showing those anyway all that should have been covered… couldn’t have been my daughter!

Judge Mathis does not listen. The young lady asked for a dress with cleavage and if you look at the first dress, there is NONE. I think the designer decided to make the dress more censored because the young lady is heavy chested. The designer kept that dress and provided them with another option and got inspiration photos. Granted this dress had a lower cleavage but if the designer did the correct measurements her needing to fix the cleavage would have been avoided. She also gave them a dress with long arms and a hole at the bottom. It made sense with all those problems they take it to someone else. He acting like he can’t comprehend why they went else where and getting nasty with a child who was respectful.

My daughter would never wear a dress that low

I didn't think the defendant should owe ANYTHING! If they wasn't happy with the purchase it shouldn't have been worn. FULL STOP ✋

The defendant did good usually people can’t copy someone else work the defendant was in the right

Skip to 6:30 for the case to start

Judge was doing way too much talking in the beginning 😂😂

The dress was beautiful. These little girls get caught up on IG. My daughter had a $500 max for her prom dress...but we ended up spending $700 😒🤷🏾‍♀️. 😂😂

The Dress Is Too Revealing For Such A Prosperous Pearl

She should have sued for defamation. The dress is beautiful and anyone that knows when you buy anything custom there are alterations that need to be done. Which it sounds like she had no problem making several times to make her prom special.

The ruling was fair. The Plaintiff agreed to a price to pay for the dress. The defendant made the dress twice for the agreed upon price and was willing to do alterations. The plaintiff was out of $45 for additional alterations. The mother and daughter had contradictory statements about the dress.

When the Plaintiff said she's a single mom of 5, the man in the audience head snap to the left so fast lol

Judge we don’t care about Detroit that’s wonderful but get the case smdh!!

One thing JM gonna do is preach 😫😫😫

I bet if the plaintiff or defendant snuck off during one of his rants he wouldnt even notice

That home learning wasn't no joke I couldn't imagine 5 children all trying to help them all at once

Am I the only one who be wanting to fast forward through JM long speeches??

Prom dresses and whats allowed has really changed from my day. Lol These young ladies be dressed like they are about to go hop on a pole somewhere lol. Beautiful dresses but everything is out these days. LITERALLY. And no I didn't go to prom in the 1950s 😂😂😂😂.

"When we first initially met..." It's either "first" or "initially," but not both lol.

The defendants jacket is funky!!! Very creative

Amazing young lady!!!! She’s going to do great things!

OK JM MY LUNCH BREAK IS ONLY 30 MINUTES. LET HER TELL HER CASE DAMN.

The dress was beautiful! She does good work

1200.00? What has happened to High School Proms? They treat them like a Red Carpet event! A two hundred dress would look just as good! She’s going to college! Use the money for that! I do like how all participants in the case carried themselves with intelligence and respect! Nice to see!

4.0 GPA for all four years. Beautiful accomplishment young lady!!

Outstanding! I wish that young lady much success ..my niece is going to an HBCU too …so proud of this generations academic achievements..when I was looking at colleges HBCU’s were not included in my schools recruitment process ..all the other Ivy League schools were though 🙌🏾💕💕💕

$1200 for a prom dress 🤦🏾‍♀️ and you are a single mother of five in these trying times....Idk maybe it's because I'm frugal. A wedding dress I could understand but not Prom

5 kids never married...her big challenge is digging out of poverty ⛏️

Dear Judge Mathis, Did you know you can start a podcast if you want to rant ?

Just checking in on 👨🏾‍⚖️ to see if he took his TRIPOLAR meds today.

The mother and daughter look so much alike

Congratulations young Queen keep going and i know mom is proud

He went on a 6 minute rant

JM was chatty Patty today lol

BTW, the mom LOOK like SHE made her by HERSELF, she LOOK juuuuust LIKE her mama!!! ❤️

Judge Mathis this is not about you can we get on with the case he talk more about what's going on in his life and don't listen to what the people is saying

I definitely don't agree with judge on the vaccine period . My best friend got COVID after getting it and she said it was much much worse then wen she didn't have the vaccine .

Thank goodness for fast forward because I wasn’t trying to listen to that soap box speech. Anyway, seems like the girl flip flopped. The sketch she approved didn’t have a bunch of cleavage but the picture did. Then it’s too much cleavage. My mom would have never let my teenage self out of the house in that. 😂

I hate to disagree with the good judge, but being from Detroit as a foster care social worker, I can promise you Detroit seriously failed the children during COVID-19

That DRESS might DO be to "revealing/provocative/grown or WHATEVER for a teenager WHO HASN'T HAD A 4.0 GPA IN HIIIIIIIIIIIIIGH SCHOOL FOR THE ENTIRE 4YEARSSSSSS 🙆🏾‍♀️BUT for HER, "HEAVY CHESTED" and ALL, she DESERVES to WEAR WTFFFFFFF SHE WANTS TO FOR HERRRR PROM!!!! 🤷🏾‍♀️THIIIIIISS is a YOUNG woman WHO KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT SHE WANTS IN LIFE AND SHE'S FOCUSED, DETERMINED, MOTIVATED, ETC TO MAKE IT HAPPEN, LET HER HAVE FUN AND LIVE A LITTLE BEFORE IT'S BACK TO "GAME TIME"!!! CONGRATS SIS, I KNOW SAYING "it MUST be HARD is an UNDERSTATEMENT" but you ARE DOING a GREAT job at RAISING 5 KIDS BY YOURSELF! KEEP your HEAD up, QUEEN and KEEP doing WHATEVER you're DOING bcuz it MUST be WORKING! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💯💪🏾❤️ CONGRATS to YOU, TOO BABY GIRL, YOU'RE AN INSPIRATION TO A LOT OF PPL, young AND old, STAY FOCUSED AND DETERMINED, YOU GOT THIIIIIISS!!!!💪🏾💯🥰

She couldn’t afford that dress. Single mother of five. Want her money back after prom is over.

$1200 for that dress smh

There is no way I’m allowing my teenage daughter to wear that to the prom and not expect her to be sexually active that night. Anything custom made is going to be expensive so I’m not paying $1200 for my child even if I can afford it nor will I allow her to pay that with her own money, for a dress like that to wear once & for a couple of hours.

This young lady us doing an awesome job on her educational journey, and I wish her much success! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 With that being said, although the times are obviously changing, as a mom of twin teenage daughters, I am SO glad that they didn’t go with the design of the first (white) dress with the “side pasties” look. The dress was beautiful, but call me old-fashioned, (I don’t care), that is a bit too much cleavage to pass this mama’s approval. 😂

Judge Mathis you need a Podcast because you talking about everything but this prom dress😂🤣😅😆

I went to a hairdresser that was doing here for over 20 years and she still did not do my hair well so how long you have been doing a job does not define how good it is being done

Is that a Gordon Gartrell shirt????

I love how Judge goes the extra mile with information and he's always on point...I dig Him

Judge Mathis is getting out of hand with his rants lol

The designer should have told them from the jump that her chest wasn't ideal for that particular dress style. They had unrealistic expectations and felt if I'm paying you, you need to do what I want. I agree in part, but with her chest size.....no.

Wait she wore the dress and still came to sue for it?!!!

He is getting more and more senile and babbling and going on tangents. This is how my grandmother acted before she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. I hope his family is paying attention to this

My first prom dress originally cost $360. The store my mom bought it from was going out of business and we got the dress for $65. We got it 3 yrs before prom. My second prom dress I bought it for $85. I went to my boyfriend's prom a yr after mine.

No child needs a bust line that deep. That's a woman's dress!

You go young lady!!! Keep planning, keep working, keep achieving!

Mathis opened up this particular case with a long rant on Detroit and virtual learning which was infuriating to me. He should've made it about that then what the litigants are here for. Geez

Judge definitely getting a Johnson & Johnson check.

Awesome young lady with a bright future ahead of her!🥰🥰

"She put the dress in the bag and we took it home. 2 days later..." First off, Why didn't you have your daughter try the dress on one more time before taking it out of the store? Secondly, why did you have her try the dress on two days later!?!

I salute this young lady and her mom. I know she’s so proud as she should be. She deserves a beautiful dress at whatever cost. ❤️

He talked all the way to commercial 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ then went straight to defendant well dam plantiff said all of two words

Ain’t been sick yet! 🤦🏾‍♂️

Dang the mom and daughter look just a like

Sometimes it's just better to go into department stores to buy the perfect dress and fit

Damn they are definitely twins

Judge Mathis will start rambling in a heartbeat🤦🏾‍♀️🤣
