I did wedding dresses, bridesmaids dresses, alterations of such and prom dresses. It became very difficult to do some dresses, because the people buying the fabrics and picking the patterns didn't sew and didn't know what they were looking at. some had no clue what they even wanted. i made one dres by the pattern, had made a muslin base so she could see it, fine, go ahead and make the dress. She hated the sleeves and the neckline, and the length and the fullness of the skirt, didn't want the zipper, wanted buttons, didn't want the buttons wanted the zipper back--- the dress from hell finally left the house and I closed my doors. And these same people want a bargain because you made it, they didn't have to "buy" it.
