It took a while to smooth the waters and the dress was eventually fixed, but that's one relationship soured for ever and there's no chance of repeat business. For me the upsetting part of all this was I found out how much 'the dress' actually cost. You wouldn't believe me if I told you, I couldn't believe it myself at first.
So presumably you're very happy that the relationship is soured for ever? Maybe the dressmaker will ensure she writes a clear and helpful email in future.
