Artistic but lacks integrity

Very talented haute couture designer, pattern maker and dress maker but will insist for a deposit and once you've paid the deposit there will be a list of excuses, delays, dis interest and lack of enthusiasm to deliver what you've paid a deposit for. Do not pay her a deposit without any form of a paper trail or receipt to guarantee the goods. I canceled my dress request a few days after making payment in June and am still awaiting my refund. She does not respond to emails nor honor her word to repay me back the money I paid her so think her work ethics are questionable. Very disappointed as she is exceptionally talented and artistic, her attention to design and dress detail are flawless but I will never do business with her ever again!
