Okay, I hate to threadjack, so here's a new one.
Odd requests from work:
The most recent (and maybe it's just weird to me) is the mothers wanting bridesmaid dresses. I mean, I get that Jim Hjelm looks great on you, but shouldn't you be going for our dubbed "Hot Mom" dress instead? I mean, really, you're not exactly a spring chicken.
The other day an older lady came in looking for a dress for a formal wedding. She made a beeline for our prom dresses. Her favorite? A backless low cut missing the dress beneath the boobs. She had to have been 40, size 14 and short. Yikes. We didn't have the dress in stock in her size, and the wedding is like 2 weeks from now. We need 3 months to get a dress.
We had a girl pass out during a fitting. She kept telling the seamstress to pull her dress tighter and tighter until she passed out. And then, when she came back for her second fitting, the dress was still too loose for her. I had a hard time zipping it up.
A lot of girls seem to not realize that two months before your wedding is not a good time to start looking for a dress. We need 4-6 months to order, and then at least a month for alterations, but we prefer a 2-3 month window. That way we can ensure that everything is done right and well.
I realize this is like the ONE day in your entire life you get to be beyond ridiculous, but so far, these bitches be crazy.
