One of my favorite memories concerning Halloween is of the haunted dress.
There was a certain dress at the shop I worked at. The dress looked innocent enough. And it was quite popular with the brides. It was on the low end of pricing.
But…. the fit was a bit funky. And brides just seemed to keep coming back for more adjustments after I finished their alterations. It kept haunting me, coming back over and over again for fiddly stuff. And the fabric seemed to shred after a few times unpicking. Grrrr.
I would get that movie “Psycho” shower stabbing scene music in my head whenever I saw a bride come out of the dressing room in it.
It just would not stop haunting me. So I started calling it the haunted dress.
When Halloween came around, I asked if they could put that dress in the front window with the halloween display. It made the display quite scary for me.
It was just a fun Halloween “ inside joke” with the staff and me.
Have a great week and I hope you don’t have any nightmare dresses this month.
