The wedding/birthday dress drama continues as the real owner
of the dress Mercy Aigbe used for her birthday photoshoot has
just replied the designer.
Incase you’re in the dark about this drama, lets bring u up to
speed.
It all started when a newly wed called out a Nigerian tailor/
fashion designer, for giving her outfit to Actress, Mercy Aigbe
for her birthday shoot, thus disappointing her on her wedding
day.
Read Her Story;
This was too bad. On the 29th of December 2017 which
happens to be a day to my wedding, a greedy designer decided
to ruin my big day. I cried all day no stop.
I bought this lovely fabric from @bshani_bridalfbrics and asked
her to deliver to this designer @rikaotobyme after I had
concluded the style and price with @rikaotobyme I made a 50%
payment to her as soon the fabric got to her.
Told her its my wedding reception dress she assured me it will
be ready on 26th. on that 26th i chatted her up to ask for my
dress she replied saying it was ready as u can see on the chat
above, she also said she will send a pics, eventually now sent a
video d next day which was 27th u can also see that on the chat
above.
I sent the balance 50% to her on 28th when I had seen the dress
and was satisfied, she couldn’t send that day cos all flights
coming to Benin that day were cancelled. So we were now left
with 29th a day to my wedding, I called her by 6am that
morning and she told me d delivery Guy has gone to d park to
send my dress that she will send the waybill details(sending
details ) across shortly. I waited till 9am no words from her.
I started calling to ask for the waybill details she wasn’t taking
my calls, atimes she even cut the calls. I sent several
messages no response at 1pm I started crying cos the situation
got beyond my control.
My hubby,friends and family requested for the number and also
started calling her but she obviously decided not to take any
calls again. Until 4pm when I was drained in tears she then
called and was apologising that she didn’t know what to say to
me that y she refuse taking calls, she continued saying the
delivery guy she gave my dress to is no where to be found.
when she heard how I was crying she then suggested to give
me one of her old dresses for me to use for the day, I had no
choice cos I was desperate I then accepted it.i got d dress on
my wedding morning.
I went on IG yesterdy only to see @realmercyaigbe wearing my
dress with the same fabric I bought and she tagged same
designer @rikaotobyme.how much did she pay u to disappoint
a bride on her wedding day? U are heartlessly wicked and u
will sure not get away with this @rikaotobyme
The Tailor of course reacted to the whole drama, and claimed it
was a dispatch error.. She wrote;
Our attention has been drawn to the ongoing chaos surrounding
a dress and one of our esteemed clients on Instagram and
possibly on other blogs and social media sites. . . .
We would have preferred if this matter was addressed directly
to us for a quick resolution and to avoid the media frenzy, but
unfortunately it wasn’t.
. . .
We hold our clients dearly and offer our services on first come
first served bases with no iota of discrimination or insinuation
of such.
. . .
We admit that a dispatch error occurred in the delivery of a
dress to Miss Lawrentta, who was set to get married on the
30th December, 2017 and the pick up of another dress on behalf
of actress, Mercy Aigbe. . . .
Please note that both dresses were of the same style, the same
colour (red) and almost the same measurement.
. . .
On realising the error on dispatch, we quickly tried to rectify the
mix up. But it was too late as the wrong dress was already on
its way to Edo state for the bride to be.
. . .
We contacted the bride and explained we had an issue and
asked if she would be comfortable with another dress, of same
kind (which was the one meant for Mercy Aigbe), the bride
agreed, so we allowed the dress to be delivered as time to recall
dispatch was short in relation to the time of the wedding.
. . .
We have already apologised to Miss Lawrentta, but once again
use the public fora to tender an unreserved apology to her and
by extension to Mercy Aigbe who shouldnt have been dragged
into this.
. . .
We assure all our clients, past and future that our resolve to
deliver top notch designs to clients within the country and
beyond will not be compromised and the error that led to this
unhappy situation has since been corrected. Thank you.
The real owner of the dress, the newly wedded bride, has fired
back at the tailor, she also shared a screenshot of a text
message from the tailor where she said the dress was on her
the way to her… The text message was dated 29th of December.
Reading your reply @rikaotobyme to the pain and
embarrassment you deliberately caused my me for financial
profit on the eve of and on my wedding day, I am convinced that
you are indeed wicked. A wickedness that has consequences.
Firstly, in your response you claim there was a dispatch error.
Was the error of dispatch the cause of the delivery agent’s
number being “not reachable” as you claimed?
Secondly, you also claimed the “dispatch error” was too late to
be rectified as the wrong dress was already on the way to Edo
state. At what point was the “dispatch error” discovered since
your staff Kate, dropped off the dress at Ojota at around 9pm
for nightbus delivery?
Dress the tailor later sent to the bride.
Thirdly you claimed also that similarities in the dresses caused
the “mixup”. If that was the case why did @realmercyaigbe on
receipt of a dress that wasn’t hers still go ahead to wear it for
her 40th birthday shoot and post on social media on the 31st of
December ? Mind you, the dress you sent to me was torn and
musty on delivery, not in any shape for a client how much more
a celebrity. While that which conveniently landed with Mercy
Aigbe, was a fabric i purchased myself from
@bshani_bridalfabrics.
Lastly in your response, you lied about apologizing to me. Since
the 29th i have not heard a single word from you and there is
not a chance in hell that what you called an apology on “public
fora” or the chat above would suffice.
In all of this, it’s blatantly obvious from your statement you
have refused to accept responsibility like a true professional
should and sincerely apologize for your moment of indiscretion
and weakness. Until then I am personally committed you face
the full consequences of your actions and the pains you meted
on me.
