I can't believe that I almost forgot to write about my first ever heartbreak in this wedding journey. But looking at the bright side, maybe I have completely moved on that's why I barely remember the details. Anyway, I still want to write about it. Here it goes.
I have been doing a lot of research during my idle time. One of my most common things I look for are wedding gowns. Like I always tell you, I have no artistic bone so I need to exert a lot of effort to look fab but still making sure that I do not over splurge on the budget. I don't know which is in and which is out. But my heart says go for a lacy gown. I don't want a mermaid cut gown. I just want it to look simple but gives compliment to my body shape. In contrary to what other people think, I am not insecure with my body type. I am confident with my body. (Sexy kaya ako! Self-proclaimed!)
Anyway, I was looking for a budget-friendly and classic-sexy gown. That's when RoyAnne Camillia Couture entered the picture. I saw a lot of gowns she made that I like. I was impressed and got all giddy! I told Waldz that I finally found the gown that I really like to wear in our wedding. He got excited too so we went to the shop the following day. Thank you WAZE for making it easier to look for their shop.
We didn't make an appointment so I did not expect to meet the designer. Besides, I was only going to check if the gowns were as great as they look in pictures. We were assisted by one of her assistants, I cannot remember her name. Tall girl with a long straight hair. She showed me the gowns I saw on line that really caught my attention. It was very simple but I like it. I really do. The moment I saw the gown, I wanted to try it on! But since there is no harm in believing the superstitious beliefs, I didn't. But I held the gown in front of the mirror to imagine how it would look like if I wear it. The gown was really nice. And I really really really like it.
But they/she broke my heart.
I had experienced one of the worst customer service. The lady that assisted me was rude. She did not directly told me that I was fat. But she told me more than twice that the gown I chose will not fit me. So maybe I was a little fat at that time. Maybe I was emotional. But I don't think it is appropriate to make your potential customers feel bad about themselves. No matter how honest you want to be, please keep in mind that you still need to choose your words wisely.
This entry is not intended to rant or ruin the reputation of the above mentioned. I am merely stating personal opinions based on experience. And just for the record, I did not fought back after hearing some rude words, we just left the shop. I cried in the car while my ever loving fiance comforted me.
So as much as I want to have the gown, even if I have already loose weight, I promise not to go back to your shop anymore. I am dead serious about this.
To the Rude Lady Assistant: I hope someday you do not get to experience what you did to me that day. I still wish you well.
