My Stepsister Asked Me to Sew Dresses for Her Six Bridesmaids – Then Refused to Pay Me for the Materials and My Work

“You know I’m getting married next month, right? Well, I’m having an absolute nightmare finding bridesmaid dresses. I’ve been to 12 boutiques, and nothing looks decent on all the six girls. Different body types, you know? Then I remembered… you’re absolutely incredible with that sewing machine. Your work is professional quality.”

“Jade, I’m not really…”

“Could you possibly make them? Please? I mean, you’re home anyway, and I’d pay you really well, of course! You’d literally be saving my entire wedding. I’m running out of options here.”

Jade and I had never been particularly close. We had different mothers and different lives. But she was family. Well, sort of.

“I haven’t done professional work since Max was born. How much time do I have?”
