Amen!

I'm sorry Angela's mom went overboard when she started whining about the colors and that they weren't "what she wanted". I understand as a designer you want to please your client, but for me as a potential client (hypothetically), I would also be open that the designer knows much more about fabric, cut, color, design, etc... than I do. I would assume that the designer is going to do their best to make me look good.

Plus, I'm sorry, Angela's mom was very much a person who is extremely uncomfortable with her body (as evidenced by her baggy and boring clothing). (I also saw it in her attitude and body language). They totally had a difference in opinion on what the design should be, they were both being difficult.

It would be different if it weren't a competition. I mean if this was just Angela's mom coming to Jeffrey to get a dress made, I'm sure they could have worked something out. But because it's a competition and because they only had one day to get the dress done, he really had to do something that would impress the judges. As much as he wanted to work with the Angela's mom, he had to think about himself.
