Jess’s cousin Sarah offered to sew her wedding dress as a gift, and though their relationship was complicated, Jess accepted the gesture. Sarah, a talented seamstress, took detailed measurements, but when Jess tried on the final dress two weeks before the wedding, it was two sizes too small.
“Did you gain weight?” Sarah asked mockingly. Jess was devastated and realized the dress was too small on purpose.
Michael suggested she visit his mother’s friend, Mrs. Lawson, a retired seamstress known for fixing difficult garments. Together, they transformed the ill-fitting dress into a chic, cocktail-style gown—fun, bold, and perfectly suited to Jess.
On the wedding day, Jess glowed with confidence as she walked down the aisle, her new dress a hit among the guests. Sarah, shocked by the turn of events, confronted Jess at the reception, upset about the change. Jess calmly explained that Mrs. Lawson had improved her design, creating something that made Jess feel truly beautiful.
Surrounded by compliments, Jess smiled, knowing Sarah’s sabotage had failed.
