Had Sylvia do a build up for my wedding dress we had ALOT of problems...
When we came in after describing what my mom and I both thought was a well detailed explanation it wasn't what I was expecting at all... My dress is IVORY and the fabric she used to do the build up was BRIGHT WHITE. Now that may not sound like a big difference but when put right next to each other it's a big difference. Also the sleeve she did didn't look at all like what I wanted. My dress also has some different angles in the bust and the build up was not following these angles.
We told her the problems and she had an excuse for everything. She would say it couldn't be done but my mom and the wedding dress place owner explained that it could be done and how to do it. I ended up going with a different sleeve for less stress. and about the fabric? Yeahhhh my mom had to go get the right fabric to show her you can find ivory. We found it at Joann's which she said she wasn't able to find..
Long story short the build up was ok but my mom ended up bringing the dress home and having to finish it off. For over $400 she should not have had to finish her job. If you are doing any kind of build up I would DEFINITELY suggest finding someone else to do it. Not pleased.
