Or owns an iron. We helped a friend when she needed 2 dance recital
outfits altered for her young daughters. They were a mess. The
straps were waaaay too long on both of them (the reason for
altering), which we can understand. However, they were crossover
spaghetti straps, 2 on each side. The two dresses - supposedly
identical - had the straps on one hopelessly tangled when they were
stitched down. She said that these were very expensive dresses (like
$40 or $50 for each), and there was maybe 1/4 yard spandex and 1 yard
of tulle in them. Go figure. And, of course, the tulle was all
scrunched up from shipping. We told her she would have to press the
skirts, and she looked at us like we were from Mars - she didn't own an iron.
