1) You do not know the original fabric of evrey gown ever made. Did you see the original gown? Funny because I took my information from people who actually did. Regardless; silk crepe comes in varying weights and stiffness. I chose the fabric I liked best. My opinion is silk taffeta is way too shiny for this gown. I agree it is not identical to the movie; the buds are too big because the flowiness of the crepe refused to pleat small enough. But you know what? I'm very proud of my gown

No, I have not seen the gown in person; but I *do* have a vast knowledge about fabrics and how they drape and 'behave'. I actually have a sample of that heavy indian taffeta here and could send it to you so that you can judge whether it would have been an extremely good choice or not. It's not shiny at all, just like all silk taffeta it has a certain subtile sheen, but it's not shiny. Just out of curiosity: The 'people you got your information from' do not include a certain someone who puts a tremendous amount of work into her gowns just to have an outcome that looks beautiful but still as if it's been made about 2-3 sizes too large for her? (I'm fully aware that this question will practically invite further people to bashing my journal, thank you.)

I don't know you. I barely know fieryredhead. I don't have any reason to get in between the two of you on this and I'm suprised, based on the obvious content this was leading to, that I even chose to read this post

I think you are completely missing the point as to why she unfriended you. It has to do more with the way you told her the picture was confusing in the auction rather than the fact that you told her. Several people have considered that it might have something to do with the language barrier, but there is a tactful way of commenting on the picture and your comment was not at all tactful or polite. Instead of pointing out what was wrong with the costume to make the picture inaccurate, all you had to say was this:
The picture of the original gown is not clearly labeled in the auction, which can be confusing to buyers who might think that is the exact gown they are getting.
See? The comments you made about the pleating being incorrect were completely uncessary and in fact a little rude. Why can you not seem to realize this? Every comment I've seen you make on Traci's journal has been negative in some way. Are you really that negative of a person or do you simply not realize that what you are doing is not courteous?
...and here's the rest of my comment, as it became a tad too long for Livejournal:
There is something wrong with trying to prove that you are always correct and all other costumers are crap.
Believe me, if I would ever have thought anything like that then my own skills, with which I surprisingly was *no* born, would never have improved. And wouldn't it, like, be totally against what you just wrote that I ask other costumers in postings in my journal for help on certain items that I can't figure out, which I recently quite often did? Why, in your opinion, should I want advice from people of whose work I think that it's crap? You're illogical.
But thank you for telling me that you just friended me because of my costumes. That makes it much easier for me to remove you from my friendslist.
