How I came to own 'Joy Couture' clothing:
I was invited to participate in what I was told was a fashion show for Joy Couture. I went in for a fitting with one of her assistants (which was incredibly awkward and unprofessional) and was instructed when and where to show up.

When I arrived, the models were then informed that we would just have some photos taken by an amateur photographer, and have to dance around in the club with the dresses on for a little while. I wasn't even wearing the dress I was fitted in, and a couple models were having to scramble into random ill-fitting dresses. What!?! But this was all fine, as I was handed a $600 gift certificate afterward.

My experience purchasing 'Joy Couture' clothing:
The assistant told me at the "show" that I could buy the ill-fitting dress they threw me in last minute for $500 OR that I could select something online off of Joy's facebook OR I could go into her studio to select something. After a month of trying to pick things online with little to no response from the designer, I scheduled a time the next Friday when I could go in to pick something out as I lived out of town. When I arrived, no one was there. I contacted the assistant I had previously been in contact with, and she told me no one would be there until Monday. Awesome.

I set up another date, (and I may have been slightly impatient with Joy, I will admit) and when I arrived on that day, she was there, but extremely rude and dismissive. I picked out a yoga outfit and a cute dress and was on my way.

My experience with the clothing itself:
I have not yet worn the dress, but it looks cute and well constructed (we will see how it turns out). The yoga outfit, well, I can't say it's not well made, but I can say it was not made by Joy. I washed the pants today, and her logo FELL OFF the pants and ANOTHER LOGO was underneath. Really?!?!?! What a great designer.

Needless to say, I will NEVER be purchasing from Joy in the future, or working with her designs if future events come up. I didn't even pay $600 for the things I now own, and I'm still livid. I feel bad for girls who have lost money on a fraudulent, disorganized, and rude designer.
