After trying so many dresses that just did not work and looked too old for her, it was wonderful for Randy to come in with fresh eyes to help find the dress. You should not be upset that he helped land a beautiful dress, instead swallow your pride and learn from this experience. The dress looked beautiful and classy and fit her youthfulness perfectly.

This is an old episode. The crumb catcher neckline was one of those weird fads from 2010 that, thankfully, disappeared quickly and has never come back

a rare miss from randy. the consultant was right, that dress did not look good on her. honestly i think crumb catchers look ridiculous in general, but she just looked absurd, especially for a military wedding. from what she was describing and what she liked and didn't like, i don't know why they didn't look for an illusion v-neck, one of those ones where the straps are floral embroidery that kind of blends into the dress. she's small-busted so she needs something that accentuates her bust instead of hiding it like the crumb catcher and ruching. and she didn't seem to love randy's pick either, "i guess i'll get it"? not to mention repeatedly bothering that other bride for a dress that wasn't even what caitlin asked for.

Sure. But she also said that she wants something traditional and elegant. A lace dress that would have worked for her would be out of her price range. That's why at the beginning the staff was looking at non-lace dresses. She would have liked lace, but she had other requirements like to look young. Randy steered her away from lace because the lace dresses weren't doing it.

I didn’t like the dress as much as others. The extra ruffles on the back and the crumb catcher ruffle on front just looks unfinished

There is no way that bride looked frumpy! She looks modest and absolutely nothing wrong with being modest.

That’s right. I don’t know if she wore that dress for her wedding though. She didn’t seem happy.

Carmel pulled about a dozen dresses that the bride asked for - deep v-neck with lace, within her budget. The bride didn't like any of them. I can see why Carmel was getting annoyed, after giving the bride exactly what she asked for. She was really trying to please her. Randy gave her something entirely different; no lace, nor a v-neck, and she ended up choosing that one, which I bet was frustrating for Carmel. Remember, this is edited; we didn't see everything...

*Most of the consultants go to Randy for help* Then some consultants get annoyed if *Randy* helps w/o asking. *Randy* isn’t the type to take ur commission away 🤦🏼‍♂️

The bride came in with an idea of what she "thought" she wanted but once she had them ON her body she wasnt pleased. Not that uncommon. Especially where lace dresses are concerned. Lace can be VERY matronly if not done right. When the bride was describing what she was looking for to Randy she didn't mention lace at all OR the v neck. I mean that could be as simple as creative editing on productions part 🤷‍♀️ too. I'm willing to bet she had the alterations dept pin down that ruffle across thst entire top "crumb catcher" to clean up the look and make it more streamline to follow the lines of the rest of the dress. I do wish they would show what the bride looked like on their actual wedding day with an actual taylored wedding dress rather than the rack/sample dress that is clipped together in the back 😂

Randy has gotten way better than from his early days at Kleinfields. This episode is from 2009 and Randy was pushy and didn’t have much great taste then. The bride is young and beautiful and while the budget wasn’t great, they could have done way better than that awful crumb catcher dress. Feel sorry for the bride.

I hated Carmel, she was so arrogant and egotistical. The episode where she was saying "she's not used to working with brides on a budget, she only wanted to work with high end brides etc" and I think it was Dorothy who said she wasn't having her consultants pick and choose their brides and dictate to management, then getting annoyed about Randy, just doing his job. Even if he finds the dress, she should be pleased if the bride buys because she still gets the commission!

Randy knows his job, he definitely knows what looks good on a Bride and Carmela is jealous. She really could learn from him.

Randy is so good at finding THE DRESS for brides…this associate should be much more grateful he got her the sale.

Don't like the dress at all

This episode is from 2009. Likely the onsite production crew simply decided to never film with her again, as is their right. Doubtful the store fired her, considering that the director of the filming tells the various actors to play up every little bit of possible drama they can, and they saw a golden opportunity in that particular person's attitude that day. The so-called "reality" tv genre is well known, and well shown, all over the Internet for being nothing but hyped up lies. If anyone is foolish enough to believe any of it, they're truly foolish, indeed.

Randy was hard core on this dress. It was pretty, but not overwhelmingly "perfection". I would definitely be swayed by his over expertise.

The bride seems like she'll be planning on returning the dress by the time she gets home. Consultants need to listen to their brides and not each other's egos. They sent that lovely young woman home with a dress that makes her look old and frumpy. If they couldn't meet her price, then they owed her the respect to tell her.

The crumbcatcher neckline is fighting with the two pieces of criss-crossed fabric in front. It's too busy. Without those two pieces of unnecessary fabric the dress would look better.
