I got a $3,000 wedding dress custom-made – the end result was so bad, it made my cry my lashes off
SOMETIMES the magic of finding the perfect wedding dress can feel not-so-special with all the added stress and pressure.
One influencer shared her wedding dress horror story — and how she shelled out thousands, only to end up in tears.
Dallas-based influencer and realtor Nadia Thomas (@naadiathomasrealty) shares wedding content, lifestyle videos, and travel tips on TikTok.
In her two-part series, Thomas shared her nightmare wedding dress story, which made her “cry her lashes off.”
In her first video, she explained her “big mistake.”
The realtor had a vision for a custom made dress: “I went to pick up my wedding dress,” she started, “and I knew it was a long shot of me liking it.”

“I saw a sneak peak preview of how the dress was going to look — and I didn’t like the sneak peak,” she said.
“In my head, after talking to people, I felt like I could make alterations to it, it’ll be fine,” she added.
“It was not,” she concluded.
“I just paid the remainder of a $700 balance for a dress that I will never wear — never,” she shared.

She tried to convince herself she would wear it to a bridal shower.
“But I hate it,” she concluded.
“The moral of the story is don’t think you can design s*** in your head,” she said. “It won’t work.”
In her second video, she shared the custom $3,000 dress — a sequin-clad, strapless gown.
TikTok users were quick to the comments. One user wrote: “Okay it had potential but $3k … hell nah.”
Another user was shocked at the end product: “I didn’t think it would be that bad.”
