This is ridiculous. To scam teenagers on their prom is just downright greedy and unexcusable. Now that the public knows who she is, don't buy anything from her. Let her see that her behavior has consequences. It serves her right. She can't blame no one but herself!
This happens every prom season in every city in black communities and the girls will complain but next year the kids will “have to get their dresses made by the same folks”. Talent doesn’t mean good business.
Ladies ,I'm so sorry this happened to you on your prom night , And that's something you can't get back, this is really heartbreaking for these ladies 😪
The lady knew what she was doing. She probably took on too many dresses too. Which some business people do. If you can't do it, say you can't. Spending their money with and not the full product.
Naw she didn't take on too many dresses, if that's the case why she need to make money to give them a refund??? She shows clear signs of being some type of addict..she knew the day before them girls dresses wouldn't be done...She should have gave they money back and they would have had time to go in a dress store and get a last min dress,their dress size is common..Buffy is trash she thought she was gone get away with scamming those young girls..disgusting 🤮
Buffy the dressmaker should feel terrible. Such a lousy way to do business. My heart go out to everyone involved, except Buffy. So sorry this happened to you beautiful girls.♥️
Thnkuu soo much!! There is no way we can bring these memories back for us parents nor our daughters!! We need to do a prom do over for all the kids who cldnt attend their prom
I think she took on more work than she could handle, then panicked when the day got there. Not excusing what she did, but I don’t think she set out to purposely hurt those girls.
I probably would've taken my daughter to a bridal shop or Dillard's for a last minute gown. She may not have the dress she wanted but she's still going to prom.
As a fashion designer...let me give you some tips..... Always make sure your pick up date is at least 2 weeks before the event. Always buy a backup dress. And never pay in full. Pay a 1/3 or half the amount and the final payment the day of the pickup. It's sounds like Buffy got in over her head. Honestly she was trying but sometimes you think it will take a certain amount of time and it takes 3x the amount. I feel bad for them.
That is just absolutely cruel. The designer KNEW that they wouldn’t be finishing those dresses and yet they didn’t even have the nerve to let them know.
Well anxiety isn't a laughing matter I HAVE anxiety I have anxiety attacks from time to time She could've had an anxiety attack! I'm sure she feels terrible.
@@floridaculturalgirl mental illness does not excuse irresponsible behavior. Making light of other people’s plights for the sake of your own well being is just as selfish as telling other people their mental well-being is “insanity”. As a person diagnosed with a panic disorder, comments like these are insulting.
This has been going on every where. I live in Georgia and I know 6 girls didn’t receive their dresses. They were all made by the same person. He had the audacity to get an attitude with the families. I already told my daughter her dress will be bought out of a store
When I went to prom back in the 90s, my mom bought me my dress at a formal dress store. And I had no problem. All I had to do was have a seamstress add in some more black velvet material to the side seams in order to give me a little more wiggle room so that the dress could be zipped up easily. And I had a one of a kind dress too.
Though I never went to prom, I understand prom is huge for a lot of people. And on top of that, that’s hundreds or thousands of dollars for a product that wasn’t delivered. I understand anxiety, I just wish she had given them a heads up. It would’ve been difficult to find a prom dress day of, but maybe they could’ve found a party dress earlier that day or a few days before if they’d been given notice.
@@dionbrown7673 Take her unprofessional @$$ to Judge Mathis, and sue her for emotional distress and make her feel the stress that y'all did,$5000 won't change the fact that y'all had to miss prom, but it would maybe stop her from doing it to anyone else..

The fact she spent all them girls money already and delivered pieces of 2 dresses out of 3🤨 then gon say she gotta make some more money before she can pay them back she woulda been havin more than an anxiety attack if that was me I wouldn’t have been able to stop my ppls. She had no right to spend that money and can’t even afford to refund them talkin bout a damn anxiety attack yea aight
SHE TRIED TO PLAY VICTIM IN THE END AFTER SHE FUKED THESE PPL OVA!!!! JUST DISGUSTING OF HER TO PLAY THAT FUKIN GAME! SHE HID BEHIND A MAN HOPING THEM WOMEN WOULDN'T BEAT HER AZZ SHE DEAD WRONG!
They paid her 2 months in advance. At that point, they were at her mercy. Plus, she kept the lines of communication open giving them hope. Now had she stopped responding or caught an attitude, then yes, I would of had a backup dress and dealt with her after the prom to run me my money back.
Exactly! Not the girls fault but the professionals fault! What if they still needed alterations before the big day! This was so wrong of the “seamstress”.
The dress maker definitely should refund the money for the dresses, pay for the young men tuxedos, any thing else like hair, makeup. She really ruined a lot of people's special day because of poor communication, and poor time management. I hope the girls created great memories anyway on their prom night. I hope this was a learning lesson for the designer. When you struggle with anxiety and attacks it can definitely be challenging but you have to try and factor in that time when business...and definitely not wait until the last minute to finish.
@@naturalwoman3552 wow I just read Buffy's responsr on Facebook regarding the situation. Stated that one of parents threatened to ruin her. Smh there is always three sides to each story however the side of the truth will always come to the light eventually.
@@NYD666 To many people it is their first and sometimes only formal event they ever get to experience. It is something that some kids look forward to doing once they get to 11th and 12th grade year. It is a once in a lifetime event to experience and to have it ruined by someone who failed to communicate is triflin and unprofessional. Of course that is just based on this news report side of the story Buffy said the communication was different. I use to feel prom was a dumb event but I went anyway and I am glad I had that experience and have wonderful memories from that once in a lifetime event.
This is so sad. These girls worked so hard, no only to make it to senior prom, but also worked hard for the money to buy their dresses and because of someone who couldn't handle the job; they had to miss their entire prom. Heart breaking.
As soon as she knew she couldn't fulfill the order, she should have scrambled to get help, notify the customer, and do everything in her power to make it right. Anything but this, leaving them with no options.
Fashion designer they mean seamstress. This is terrible and had me tearing Shame on that dressmaker for taking away this once in a lifetime experience from these young ladies. There is no excuse at all!!
This is disgusting. She knew she wouldn't be able to deliver on these sweet girls dresses but she took the money anyways. This isn't just some school dance that they'll have plenty more of, it's PROM! This is an event they'll remember for the rest of their lives and she took that away from them.
i can’t even imagine, this is so sad. prom means a lot especially when it’s your senior year. i went to my senior prom two months ago. my heart goes out to these lovely ladies 🥺❤️. everybody be careful with who you buy from and always do research on them beforehand.
Wow, seeing these women cry also made me cry. 😔❤It's sad that they missed their prom. If the designer would've given them at least two weeks notice, they could've been afforded the opportunity to shop locally and buy a dress. Ladies, although I can't tell you how to feel. I pray that each of you have your Cinderella moments again to relive this missed prom: such as becoming a wife in a gown, a bridesmaid, or for whatever event you so choose to just wear a gown. I pray that all three of you have your day again where the spotlights will be on you to celebrate. I pray that the tears that you and your mother's are crying now, will be replaced with tears of joy. I love you all from a far! You will all have your Cinderella moments again!😘🙏🏽😘
I’m a dress maker and this is inexcusable. Some people do a lot of talking and boasting about themselves yet are no where qualified to do the job. This is so disappointing.
Wow,my heart goes out to these young ladies, they can never get that time back,that day was supposed to be a special part of their young lives,A day that they would never forget,it's sad that there memories will be a memory of tragedy.So 😢😢😢 sad.I would take Buffy to small claims court.Take Buffy to Judge Mathis and get $5000 for emotional distress.I would do exactly that!!
With a name of Buffy Bonds. Parents check people out, verify their work and talk to people they have done items for. A back up plan does not hurt. I bet she did have an anxiety attack. You stole from kids, give them their money back!!!
Right we did tht and all the above!! And no we still haven’t received our refund! But it’s not just about the money it’s the memories she stole from all of us!
I never went to my prom, but I still feel emotional for these girls. Anxiety/panic attack, can happen...but she lied and pretended like she did all three dresses. Ms. Buffy bit more than she could chew. This is sad!
Sorry this happened to you ladies. This almost happened to my daughter. After months of not getting a simple swatch for my daughters date and no communication I’ve decided to go with another seamstress.
I saw her Instagram and she definitely bit off more than she could chew. I'm guessing she prioritized her more expensive clientele bc she did deliver on time for other girls
I’m glad they still went out & were able to making something of their night. I’m so sorry girls🥺❤️🙏🏾hope u guys can get over this smh stay beautiful!🙏🏾❤️
I never forget my mom friend did this to my sister for prom night in 1990, my mom was furious and my sister was so sad in mean exactly a hour before prom the dress was just cut out the pattern, lucky my sister had a bridesmaid dress 👗 for backup, my daughters prom 5/21/22, I purchased 2 dresses online 3 months earlier for any mishaps
I know this is terrible but as a parent I would have been at Macys getting a last minute dress idc if it was an hour before prom. That lady who did this should have been ashamed
My heart is broken for these girls!! Ladies, i'm so sorry that this has happened to you. I'm sorry that a human was so disgustingly selfish and ruined such an important milestone in your lives. I know that there are no words to change how the 3 of you are feeling. To the girl that ruined this day for them you should be ashamed of yourself!!! I hope going forward that people boycott your so called "business" that is what you deserve! These girls and their families will never get this moment back!! SMH!
This is heartbreaking. I’m a fashion designer and I design prom dresses. One thing I would not do is take on orders I know I wouldn’t be able to handle. Sounds like the designer was money hungry and overbooked herself. I pray she refunds them.
that's a shame. I'm really sorry those girls had to go through that!!!! I hope they ended up making the most of the situation & having a great night with friends after the prom!! 💕
So heartbreaking and had me in tears!!!!! The whole pandemic had no one going to prom graduation and now that everything is open NO DRESSES heartbreaking for the young lady’s!!!!!
Anxiety is real! I feel so bad for the girls because this is a once in a lifetime thing! I suffer with anxiety and have lost jobs and clients because of my anxiety
I'm so sorry to hear that. Praying for you. And hoping this dressmaker gets to improve. Anxiety is understandable, but making as though the dresses were basically done and on their way the *morning of* is shocking.
Girl the dresses were not made, on the day so unless she had 2 month anxiety, the anxiety happened when she couldn't finish in time which she should have been upfront and said that..... also 3 dresses from scratch for 1 designer due on the same day, doesn't seem like good business
Dusties stay resorting to violence, which is why no one wants to live amongst BP. Yes, they were wronged, but to advocate to shoot up a house that could possibly kill innocents is evil.
This is inexcusable she should have told them at least a few days before that she couldn’t get it done so they could’ve gotten a back up dress although that’s not what they intended but to miss the prom to a teenager is like a wedding. No excuse.
This is why I we have a one week policy for my business. An outfit must be ready two weeks before the day of the event, otherwise its not possible. Those poor girls that's a lot of money...
yeah that's a once in a lifetime type of event and I really hate they didn't get to enjoy their prom. This is sad. You will never get to go to prom again. She ought to be ashamed. They should've paid her a deposit half of the money and said you'll get rest when the dresses are finish. I think that's only right.
This is so heartbreaking. They can’t get those memories back. When my daughter attended her prom in 2020 I had a custom dress made for her but also bought 2 other “standby” dresses just in case any issues arose to prevent from her night potentially being ruined. Always have to have a backup plan in unfortunate situations like these. The designer definitely took on way more than she could do.
Bridal shops have beautiful dresses for proms and they do alterations and custom add ons if the customer asks for it. They're not just for bridesmaids. I would've done that because I don't trust people doing anything for me especially asking for money upfront.
People who are scamming will get their karma. It’s ok. Keep living righteously! Sorry baby girls, from a man with a 4 year old daughter who I kno in the future will attend prom; it’s heartbreaking!
Ladies I'm so sorry for your pain. This so called designer needs to come out of those pockets. One of the most important events of they're lives was ruined but I hope you ladies turned up & had a good time... God Bless...
That’s crazy, I I were in position to I would send those girls with their dates and a chaperone on a little getaway or awesome night out! These are events in life that are part of your coming of age. Heartbreaking that someone ruined it. And before anyone says it, not everyone has a second dress or money to just go replace one at the last minute, just as everyone else who has a dress made you pay and you truss the seamstress especially for prom.
make your own prom night! my daughter's friends did that due to covid and still had fun. it doesn't have to be at school. invite friends and dates and do your own. don't let prom get away from you!
Trust No Man or Woman Buffy Should be Ashamed as Well Shamed by these Parents and Young Ladies who did What was Right by Working Hard and Paying their Bill.My Heart goes out to these Beautiful Young Ladies 💜
It was really cute the mom and daughter❤️ as sad as the situation was and how it was an unacceptable of what happened ... Those 3 ladies still looked absolutely beautiful ❤️❤️❤️ and the girls looked like they could be on a cover of magazines. The dresses or lack thier of i should say, didn't make the night, those 3 beautiful teenagers stole the show, despite the situation even with thier dressed down clothes !! Still looked breath taking ❤️ and good job to the mama dukes for making sure that the materialistic things didn't come in the way of a memory and experience that if missed they couldn't get back🙏🙏 good job mama making em go!! Also it was really cute how the mother and daughter both did the same thing at the exact same time to keep their lashes fresh and their makeup fresh from their tears with the hand waves❤️ I do that too❤️❤️❤️ Beautiful all of you❤️❤️
It's not even that she didn't make the dresses, on top of that it's how she led them on and on!! She kept texting them all smiley and sweet like everything was fine until the last possible second, giving them 0 time to find replacements! If she'd been honest days before that the dresses weren't even close to done then they would've had time to find other dresses 😔 truly a scam that lady is running, hopefully this exposure ruins whatever "business" she had
I can remember that excitement well, the whole experience just felt like a life milestone. I’m crushed for them. Shame on that so called designer, if they can even be called that.
Poor beautiful girls I know how important promise. I'm so sorry this happened to them. I hope that another bigger blessing comes in their lives that will overlap this and wish them happiness.
No one is stopping me from going to my prom if I really want to go. If it’s two weeks before prom and I don’t have my custom dress, I will go right to the department store and get a quick one. No one can take your happiness unless you let them.
Preach, I never believe in going all out for a prom dress you wearing one time, My daughter was asked to prom twice, 2017 so we went to the mall found 2 dresses only spend maybe 400-500 dollars, and until this day people still talk about how beautiful my daughter was, heck if I knew them I would of donated dresses to them
That's really sad. Prom is a big deal, and they earned it. Especially with the way things have been these last two years. I still have my prom dress and it's been 11yrs since I graduated. It's still my favorite dress that I ever wore. I hope they get their money back asap. Unfortunate that they didn't get the dresses they paid for :(
Buffy the "Dressmaker" is a dope! She let y'all down AFTER payment was made. Very wrong, very crappy! Hope you all get the money back and Buffy doesn't work with this field again. Buffy is lucky these momma's didn't slap her.

Wow,my heart goes out to these young ladies, they can never get that time back,that day was supposed to be a special part of their young lives,A day that they would never forget,it's sad that there memories will be a memory of tragedy.So 😢😢😢 sad.I would take Buffy to small claims court.Take Buffy to Judge Mathis and get $5000 for emotional distress.I would do exactly that!!
Nah, let Judge Judy get her
@@traveilarmundsims1670 oooh you are so right,Judge Judy would totally destroy Buffy the prom dress slacker/lacker
With a name of Buffy Bonds. Parents check people out, verify their work and talk to people they have done items for. A back up plan does not hurt. I bet she did have an anxiety attack. You stole from kids, give them their money back!!!
Looking at her Instagram you can’t tell she’s a thief because everyone got their dresses.
Right we did tht and all the above!! And no we still haven’t received our refund! But it’s not just about the money it’s the memories she stole from all of us!
Buffy sounds like a dude for real though
@@dionbrown7673 I'm sorry this happened to you girls
What does the name have to do with anything? How do you know they didn't check her out first?
These instagram designers… watch out!
I LOVE THIS MOM 💖 SHE LOVES HER BABY 💖
I never went to my prom, but I still feel emotional for these girls. Anxiety/panic attack, can happen...but she lied and pretended like she did all three dresses. Ms. Buffy bit more than she could chew. This is sad!
Sorry this happened to you ladies. This almost happened to my daughter. After months of not getting a simple swatch for my daughters date and no communication I’ve decided to go with another seamstress.
I saw her Instagram and she definitely bit off more than she could chew. I'm guessing she prioritized her more expensive clientele bc she did deliver on time for other girls
I don't care you don't put one customer over another one.
What's her Instagram?
What’s her IG
I’m glad they still went out & were able to making something of their night. I’m so sorry girls🥺❤️🙏🏾hope u guys can get over this smh stay beautiful!🙏🏾❤️
I never forget my mom friend did this to my sister for prom night in 1990, my mom was furious and my sister was so sad in mean exactly a hour before prom the dress was just cut out the pattern, lucky my sister had a bridesmaid dress 👗 for backup, my daughters prom 5/21/22, I purchased 2 dresses online 3 months earlier for any mishaps
That brought me to tears! Wow! I’m so sorry for these young ladies.
I know this is terrible but as a parent I would have been at Macys getting a last minute dress idc if it was an hour before prom. That lady who did this should have been ashamed
I didn’t go to prom or do anything due to pandemic don’t let this get to you y’all are strong❤️✊🏾
Oh that's devastating!! I remember how special my prom night was
My heart is broken for these girls!!
Ladies, i'm so sorry that this has happened to you. I'm sorry that a human was so disgustingly selfish and ruined such an important milestone in your lives. I know that there are no words to change how the 3 of you are feeling. To the girl that ruined this day for them you should be ashamed of yourself!!! I hope going forward that people boycott your so called "business" that is what you deserve!
These girls and their families will never get this moment back!! SMH!
Wishing you beautiful ladies the best. That’s awful someone could do that on such an important day
If I had money I would throw them a prom and have all their friends come celebrate with them. This breaks my heart
I would literally go feral, I will throw a tantrum, that's prom night😭 you can never experienced that again 😭
That is so unfair to these beautiful young ladies. Sending hugs and love.
This is heartbreaking. I’m a fashion designer and I design prom dresses. One thing I would not do is take on orders I know I wouldn’t be able to handle. Sounds like the designer was money hungry and overbooked herself. I pray she refunds them.
that's a shame. I'm really sorry those girls had to go through that!!!! I hope they ended up making the most of the situation & having a great night with friends after the prom!! 💕
So heartbreaking and had me in tears!!!!! The whole pandemic had no one going to prom graduation and now that everything is open NO DRESSES heartbreaking for the young lady’s!!!!!
Beautiful young ladies! I wish you all nothing but the best. I'm so sorry this happened to you all.
This a life long lesson. Always have a back up plan. Especially when it comes to these so called dress makers.
Yep pick up a dress at the mall,
This boils my blood 😤😤😤 How dare that “fashion designer” trash
Anxiety is real! I feel so bad for the girls because this is a once in a lifetime thing! I suffer with anxiety and have lost jobs and clients because of my anxiety
I'm so sorry to hear that. Praying for you. And hoping this dressmaker gets to improve. Anxiety is understandable, but making as though the dresses were basically done and on their way the *morning of* is shocking.
Girl the dresses were not made, on the day so unless she had 2 month anxiety, the anxiety happened when she couldn't finish in time which she should have been upfront and said that..... also 3 dresses from scratch for 1 designer due on the same day, doesn't seem like good business
Even paying them back is NOT going to make up for them missing their proms! She needs to compensate for that as well!
I'm heart broken for the girls that they're prom night was ruined 🙏
That's horrible how can someone do this to teenagers
Y’all need to Air out the house of design real fast!! Street justice is the best !
Dusties stay resorting to violence, which is why no one wants to live amongst BP. Yes, they were wronged, but to advocate to shoot up a house that could possibly kill innocents is evil.
This is inexcusable she should have told them at least a few days before that she couldn’t get it done so they could’ve gotten a back up dress although that’s not what they intended but to miss the prom to a teenager is like a wedding. No excuse.
This is why I we have a one week policy for my business. An outfit must be ready two weeks before the day of the event, otherwise its not possible. Those poor girls that's a lot of money...
They need to sue
Yes we are!
@@dionbrown7673 Good cuz that's fucked up!
yeah that's a once in a lifetime type of event and I really hate they didn't get to enjoy their prom. This is sad. You will never get to go to prom again. She ought to be ashamed. They should've paid her a deposit half of the money and said you'll get rest when the dresses are finish. I think that's only right.
This is so heartbreaking. They can’t get those memories back. When my daughter attended her prom in 2020 I had a custom dress made for her but also bought 2 other “standby” dresses just in case any issues arose to prevent from her night potentially being ruined. Always have to have a backup plan in unfortunate situations like these. The designer definitely took on way more than she could do.
You are a smart mom!
Bridal shops have beautiful dresses for proms and they do alterations and custom add ons if the customer asks for it. They're not just for bridesmaids. I would've done that because I don't trust people doing anything for me especially asking for money upfront.
That’s horrible. I feel bad for those girls 🥲
People who are scamming will get their karma. It’s ok. Keep living righteously! Sorry baby girls, from a man with a 4 year old daughter who I kno in the future will attend prom; it’s heartbreaking!
Blessings to the family 💕 .
Please sue ! Emotional distress, fraud etc. Just horrible !
This crap happen every year. It’s so devastating each time.
Oh wow! That is scary to know especially since I have a rising senior
Off topic but 2:34 was so in sync😭
Ladies I'm so sorry for your pain. This so called designer needs to come out of those pockets. One of the most important events of they're lives was ruined but I hope you ladies turned up & had a good time... God Bless...
That’s crazy, I I were in position to I would send those girls with their dates and a chaperone on a little getaway or awesome night out! These are events in life that are part of your coming of age. Heartbreaking that someone ruined it. And before anyone says it, not everyone has a second dress or money to just go replace one at the last minute, just as everyone else who has a dress made you pay and you truss the seamstress especially for prom.
they’re so gorgeous, i feel bad because my prom was everything & an amazing feeling !!! no money cannot replace prom ..
make your own prom night! my daughter's friends did that due to covid and still had fun. it doesn't have to be at school. invite friends and dates and do your own. don't let prom get away from you!
😢My HEART goes out to each of you beautiful young ladies and. IM BEYOND SORRY THAT THIS HORRIBLE MESS HAPPENED TO YOU ALL🥺😥😭😭😭DAMN IT MADE ME CRY
Trust No Man or Woman Buffy Should be Ashamed as Well Shamed by these Parents and Young Ladies who did What was Right by Working Hard and Paying their Bill.My Heart goes out to these Beautiful Young Ladies 💜
It was really cute the mom and daughter❤️ as sad as the situation was and how it was an unacceptable of what happened ... Those 3 ladies still looked absolutely beautiful ❤️❤️❤️ and the girls looked like they could be on a cover of magazines.
The dresses or lack thier of i should say, didn't make the night, those 3 beautiful teenagers stole the show, despite the situation even with thier dressed down clothes !! Still looked breath taking ❤️ and good job to the mama dukes for making sure that the materialistic things didn't come in the way of a memory and experience that if missed they couldn't get back🙏🙏 good job mama making em go!!
Also it was really cute how the mother and daughter both did the same thing at the exact same time to keep their lashes fresh and their makeup fresh from their tears with the hand waves❤️ I do that too❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful all of you❤️❤️
Very proud of all you guys, except for Buffy the prom dress slayer
🤣🤣 the prom dress slayer
I'm heartbroken over this, unbelievable 💔
It's not even that she didn't make the dresses, on top of that it's how she led them on and on!! She kept texting them all smiley and sweet like everything was fine until the last possible second, giving them 0 time to find replacements! If she'd been honest days before that the dresses weren't even close to done then they would've had time to find other dresses 😔 truly a scam that lady is running, hopefully this exposure ruins whatever "business" she had
I can remember that excitement well, the whole experience just felt like a life milestone. I’m crushed for them. Shame on that so called designer, if they can even be called that.
Unfortunate story, but that clip of the 2 of them drying their tears with their hands the exact same way was adorable.
lol
Literally noticed that
Poor beautiful girls I know how important promise. I'm so sorry this happened to them. I hope that another bigger blessing comes in their lives that will overlap this and wish them happiness.
Buffy The Prom Dress Slayer
Seeing the mom and daughter cry together made this even more sadder.
Buffy needs to just close her shop down she's scandalous
2:31
The synchronization 😭
No one is stopping me from going to my prom if I really want to go. If it’s two weeks before prom and I don’t have my custom dress, I will go right to the department store and get a quick one. No one can take your happiness unless you let them.
Preach, I never believe in going all out for a prom dress you wearing one time, My daughter was asked to prom twice, 2017 so we went to the mall found 2 dresses only spend maybe 400-500 dollars, and until this day people still talk about how beautiful my daughter was, heck if I knew them I would of donated dresses to them
That's really sad. Prom is a big deal, and they earned it. Especially with the way things have been these last two years. I still have my prom dress and it's been 11yrs since I graduated. It's still my favorite dress that I ever wore. I hope they get their money back asap. Unfortunate that they didn't get the dresses they paid for :(
Buffy the "Dressmaker" is a dope! She let y'all down AFTER payment was made. Very wrong, very crappy! Hope you all get the money back and Buffy doesn't work with this field again. Buffy is lucky these momma's didn't slap her.
That is sooooooooo messed up. They need to sue her.
Any young ladies watching this, Always, ALWAYS, have a backup dress. Something cute and affordable if the first dress was financially straining ..
Lawwwd 😩😍 she was slaying them braids
2:34 they fanned themselves in sync 😭
So devastating for those poor girls. And I can feel that moms pain awful
Love the synchronize eye fanning
Sweet Mama ..its all gonna be OK .Your love for your daughter is precious !😘
