None — A Charlotte high school student said the prom dress she paid for with her own money was ruined by an alterations shop.
Cori Floyd said she never got a chance to wear her $425 prom dress because of a big stain.
Floyd blamed Vina's Alterations shop for staining her dress after doing alterations and attempting to remove small white spots from the dress. The stain left the dress un-wearable, she said.
When the shop refused to do anything, Floyd's mom spent $270 the day before the prom for a second dress.
Floyd said she still gets emotional talking about the ordeal and said it spoiled her prom memories.
"When I think back on it, all I think about is how my dress was ruined," she said.
It wasn't until her father, Eric Floyd, stepped in that the shop offered to pay $140. But he rejected it, instead demanding the full $425. He said the shop refused.
Action 9 paid the shop a visit and talked to one of the owners over the phone. She admitted that her sister mistakenly cleaned the dress with water and then said she would pay the $425 price of the dress, if Eric Floyd brought in his receipts.
But later, the co-owner called Action 9 to say the most they'd pay was $200.
Eric and Cori Floyd are refusing the offer, saying they will take it to small claims court and let a judge decide.
