Lawrentta had on Monday accused designer Mariam Elisha of lying about her wedding reception dress, which she said the dressmaker had told was made away with by a courier. Only for her to see the pictures of Mercy wearing the dress who credited Elisha for designing the dress.
In their statement, Elisha via her fashion house says she holds her clients in high esteem and that the mix-up was all down to dispatch error. According to her, due to shortness of time, they couldn’t recall the dress and that the bride, that’s Miss Lawrentta agreed to have a replacement dress, which was actually Aigbe’s dress.
Read the statement
.
“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 the 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 the 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 shouldn’t 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”
Who do we believe sef?
If you are a Nigerian and you still give your tailor the exact date of your event to deliver your clothes, then you are not smart. Always give them a date at least one week earlier than the actual date so they wouldn’t give you HBP. I once saw a lady making frantic calls in front of a tailor’s locked shop, obviously, she came to pick up her dress on the morning of the wedding she was supposed to be a chief bride’s maid. Who does that for God’s sake? Once it is even mid November, I can’t take any cloth to any tailor because of the December rush. These people cannot change, so learn to adjust to their modus operandi.
How did this mix up happen?
the designs on the chest to breast of both dresses are different.
I wonder oo that what am also saw
Hmmmmm
should we believe this?
are they trying to clear their name?
