Only One Tailoring

I feel as though I have been scammed. I went in wanting more support for my wedding dress. I forgot to ask about a bustle, but I needed one as well. The tailor basically told me that what I wanted wasn’t possible, but that she would add different cups and that would solve my problem. It definitely didn’t. She told me she could add an extra button to the back so it would be tighter, but I guess she decided that wasn’t necessary because she didn’t do it. When I received back my dress, the only discernible difference was that the cups were bigger…but the interior corner of one cup can now be easily seen through the illusion mesh. I do not understand why she didn’t want to help me. I needed the waist taken in so the dress’s weight wouldn’t be on my shoulders all night. She told me the weight of the dress is supposed to be on my shoulders, and that I was wrong to think it was uncomfortable and heavy. The waist is indiscernible from before. She might have taken it in like an eighth of an inch, but I can see the place where it needs another button or hook—basically so that I have support where a bra would have a band. For $100/hour, shouldn’t a wedding dress tailor know how to make a wedding dress more supportive? I’ll have to take it to another tailor. Weddings are already so expensive, and the shoddy and incomplete work on my dress cost $350. She was adamant that we had a conversation about the bustle, but I know we didn’t because I know how much I’ll be dancing and there is no way I agreed that I would be okay holding my train the entire night. Then she told me that bustling my dress would be an additional $250. I feel horrible about how little I got and how much I spent. If they had done what I needed, I’d be happy to pay, but I feel like I paid $350 for them to hold on to my dress for a month and gaslight me about what I want. I said all of this in a private review that they prompted me to write in an email with the receipt, and they never reached out to me. They clearly care more about money than making customers happy.
