Nigerian fashion designer, Maryam
Elisha who was accused of giving out a bride’s wedding dress to actress MercyAigbe for her birthday photos has spoken.
Mercy Aigbe was dragged online by
Nigerians after a bride accused her of using her dress for birthday shots.
According to the designer, there
was a dispatch error as both dresses ordered by Mercy Aigbe and the bride-to-be
were the same material.
On her Instagram page, she wrote:
“Our attention has been drawn to
the ongoing chaos surrounding a dress and one of our esteemed clients on
Instagram and possibly on other blogs and social media sites.
“We would have preferred if this
matter was addressed directly to us for a quick resolution and to avoid the
media frenzy, but unfortunately it wasn’t.
“We hold our clients dearly and
offer our services on first come first served bases with no iota of
discrimination or insinuation of such.
“We admit that a dispatch error
occurred in the delivery of a dress to Miss Lawrentta, who was set to get
married on the 30th December, 2017 and the pick up of another dress on behalf
of actress, Mercy Aigbe. . . .Please note that both dresses were of the same
style, the same colour (red) and almost the same measurement.
“On realising the error on
dispatch, we quickly tried to rectify the mix up. But it was too late as the
wrong dress was already on its way to Edo state for the bride to be.
“We contacted the bride and
explained we had an issue and asked if she would be comfortable with another
dress, of same kind (which was the one meant for Mercy Aigbe), the bride
agreed, so we allowed the dress to be delivered as time to recall dispatch was
short in relation to the time of the wedding.
“We have already apologised to
Miss Lawrentta, but once again use the public fora to tender an unreserved
apology to her and by extension to Mercy Aigbe who shouldn’t have been dragged
into this.
“We assure all our clients, past
and future that our resolve to deliver top notch designs to clients within the
country and beyond will not be compromised and the error that led to this
unhappy situation has since been corrected. Thank you.”
The bride in question has again replied the fashion designer calling her a liar. Sharing the picture below, she said:

Reading your reply @rikaotobyme
to the pain and embarrassment you deliberately caused my me for financial
profit on the eve of and on my wedding day, I am convinced that you are indeed
wicked. A wickedness that has consequences.
Firstly, in your response you
claim there was a dispatch error. Was the error of dispatch the cause of the
delivery agent's number being "not reachable" as you claimed?
Secondly, you also claimed the
"dispatch error" was too late to be rectified as the wrong dress was
already on the way to Edo state. At what point was the "dispatch
error" discovered since your staff Kate, dropped off the dress at Ojota at
around 9pm for nightbus delivery?
Thirdly you claimed also that
similarities in the dresses caused the "mixup". If that was the case
why did @realmercyaigbe on receipt of a dress that wasn't hers still go ahead
to wear it for her 40th birthday shoot and post on social media on the 31st of
December ? Mind you, the dress you sent to me was torn and musty on delivery,
not in any shape for a client how much more a celebrity. While that which
conveniently landed with Mercy Aigbe, was a fabric i purchased myself from
@bshani_bridalfabrics.
Lastly in your response, you lied
about apologizing to me. Since the 29th i have not heard a single word from you
and there is not a chance in hell that what you called an apology on
"public fora" or the chat above would suffice.
In all of this, it's blatantly
obvious from your statement you have refused to accept responsibility like a
true professional should and sincerely apologize for your moment of
indiscretion and weakness. Until then I am personally committed you face the
full consequences of your actions and the pains you meted on me.
