It can be kinda cool having a fashion designer or dressmaker in the family. You have access to unique pieces and can get something tailored exactly to your style and size. You might even save some money. But what happens when the person is just starting out, learning the ropes, and constantly wants to use you as their guinea pig?
One young designer had her hopes dashed when she offered to dress her aunt for a big career event. The 17-year-old considers herself a “self-taught” seamstress. But to put it bluntly, her aunt thinks her work sucks. She refused to let the teen make her an outfit, opting instead for something from a more experienced tailor.
To say feelings have been hurt is an understatement. The aunt has shared the full story on the internet. And she didn’t mince her words… Bored Panda reached out to etiquette expert Rosalinda Randall for her take on the matter.
