Has it vanished? I was watching it but can't find it any more. At least I think so was watching it but now I'm doubting myself!

I'm really sad because you did such a lovely thing ilove and it seems a less than grateful way to treat you. The bride just needed to let you know, you sound like you'd have genuinely been ok if she'd changed the dress after you worked on it. I really hope she comes back and talks to you if not the rest of us.
What is fantastic is the great stuff that came out of the thread for the kids you help. Nothing can change that :)

Poor thing ilove, what you did was a truly lovely thing

How did Crap change your design in the end?

Queenbean · 26/07/2016 10:40

Btw; I have advance searched her and it seems she has deregistered entirely - she was called crapartist right?

None of this changes what you did ilove. You stepped up to help out a total stranger at a time when you had a million other things happening. You can be seriously proud of yourself, MN is proud of you Wink. I'm hoping there's a good reason behind her reaction but none of it changes your wonderfulness Star

Aww such a shame! Ilove you are a wonderful human being don't let it get you down Flowers

bananapeanut · 26/07/2016 10:54

Much love ilove WineCake you did a wonderful job

JennyBunn · 26/07/2016 10:57

ilove I'm de-lurking to say that I think that you a wonderful person. In a world that seems so shitty at the moment, it's nice to be reminded that there is good in the world and you did that Flowers

DoloresVanCartier · 26/07/2016 11:02

This makes me so sad Sadilove. You are a wonderful person and I suppose I would feel terrible if I went and changed what someone had done because of the lengths they had gone to to help, and I'm not sure if have it in me to say it wasn't quite what I wanted for fear of hurting a wonderful persons generosity at talent, I would be embarrassed so I maybe understand a wee bit. I think the dress was lovely with your alterations, and you make me proud Smile

LineyReborn · 26/07/2016 12:18

Just found this thread. I was just about to theorise that crapartist didn't go with the alterations, and was to embarrassed too say, when I read that that's the explanation.

But blocking and deleting you, Ilove, wedding stress or not - that's very self-absorbed and a bit immature of her. I hope she sorts her head out soon and at least explains herself to you.

Hope you're having a great time with all your visiting children.

ilove · 26/07/2016 12:28

Ok so. I've messaged her, and she's replied. I simply said she looked beautiful, and so happy, and wished them a fantastic life together, and that I didn't mind at all that she's altered it again.

She said she was so sorry, didn't know how to tell me, and had handled it badly. Also that she had been outed and was embarrassed.

But it's ok. Really, it is.

LineyReborn · 26/07/2016 12:31

Good - that's the least you deserved, a proper explanation. Hopefully everyone can move on more happily now.

ArmySal · 26/07/2016 12:47

Ahh, at least she's replied to you.

You were the star of the thread anyway Smile

intravenouscoffee · 26/07/2016 12:48

ilove you've been fantastic in all of this. Sorry if this thread has stirred up stuff, I hope it hasn't upset you.

I'm fine. I'd just have liked a copy of the thread for nostalgia really.

RaeSkywalker · 26/07/2016 12:58

ilove I just wanted to say that I've been genuinely touched by what you did. It was amazing of you to help out a stranger like that. You are very gracious to accept what has happened, you didn't deserve that treatment and 'being embarrassed' was no excuse for her blocking you! Flowers

glasgowlass · 26/07/2016 13:05

Aww ilove you really are an inspiration. As I said in original thread the world needs more people like you. You are truly wonderful! In so glad your 'kids' got a great benefit from the thread, I was happy to donate & thought that a bit of good karma was due to come your way. Another looking for you to adopt me...💐

bananapeanut · 26/07/2016 13:09

Yes ilove - your kindness didn't go wasted at all because of the money raised for the children 😊

Vipermisnomer · 26/07/2016 13:10

It was MN Gold ilove, being outed can be tricky for some, don't be put off good deeding. Oh put the link back up for your kids please?

I can imagine how upsetting that would be ilove but you did a lovely and incredibly generous thing. I'm surprised the bride changed your alterations they were a vast improvement Smile

ilove · 26/07/2016 13:27

Yes. I did - she brought me gin, flowers and chocolates which are all lovely. I simply think she panicked and didn't know what to do.

My kids are on the woolly hugs page on Facebook and their website too, and in the Chernobyl thread on the woolly hugs board on here

PrettyFlyForATightGuy · 26/07/2016 13:34

Jesus ilove don't say you'll never help again! I'm in Leeds and was planning to come banging on your front door with a bottle of gin every time I fuck up an outfit for some overly complicated school fancy dress shite! GrinGrinGrin
