>BEWARE of buying anything from Christy Merchant!!! I
>ordered a custom dress from her the first week January
>to be worn in May and got it the day of the pageant in
>such a mess that it had to be returned. She had
>promised the dress at the end of March.... then kept
>putting me off and refused to send any pictures of the
>"progress" she was making. When it did arrive the hem
>was so wavy there were 4-5 inches difference in
>places, lining showed under the hem, it wasn't even
>close to the right size, edges were unfinished and
>raveling, she sent pictures of the dress with fabric
>pinned on and then took the fabric off and tried to
>cover it up with appliques, fabric was wadded up and
>sewn into the waistband.... It is STILL a mess,
>although I gave her an opportunity to correct it. It
>was slapped together in such a way that I would have
>been ashamed to tell people I made it! The bodice has
>material basted on with stitches that are an inch and
>a half long, the bottom edge is serged instead of
>being hemmed properly and looks horrible, the fabric
>is twisted where it shouldn't be, material was
>supposed to be gathered and it was just wadded up and
>sewn down, the ruffle for one panel of the skirt was
>too short so instead of making a longer one, she just
>wadded the panel up to fit the ruffle and it looks
>awful, dress still has edges that are unfinished and
>raveling out, there is a hole in the chiffon on the
>back of the bodice, one side of the bodice is cut
>straight and the other is rounded when they should be
>the same, instead of cutting the boning down like she
>should have, she tried to cut around it so now IF the
>dress could be worn, the boning pokes up into my
>child's armpits.... I could go on all day about that
>mess! Not only that, but she did NOT return all 18
>yards of the fabric that I sent her.... and it was not
>even close to 18 yards of fabric that she used in the
>dress! I had the fabric measured, and she kept about
>1/2 of the silk fabric that I sent her!!! $605 PLUS
>FABRIC for a dress that my child can't wear! AND NONE
>of that cost was for stones, stonework, decoration,
>etc - it was a basic dress, although I did get some
>poor quality appliques with my purchase. BEWARE BEWARE
>BEWARE!!!!!
>Christy, why don't you tell people why you had to
>CLOSE your ebay store and start a NEW ebay account?
>Tell them about your feedback, about all those people
>you did wrong, about all the paypal and ebay
>complaints filed.... it wasn't just ME, it was many
>others you did wrong.
>IF ANYONE WANTS PICTURES OF THE MESS SHE SENT ME, JUST
>EMAIL ME AND I WILL BE GLAD TO PROVIDE THEM! I am
>having someone try to make the skirt wearable, but I
>am having to have another bodice made just so all that
>money isn't wasted on the mess she sent me!
