Wow, I thought I had sensitive skin, but I'm good with neosporin and bandaids will occasionally make my skin a little red, but nothing like what was described above.
Hivemind advice please: Before I went away from my cousin's wedding I brought one of my trashy diva dresses to be altered because it was gaping under the arms a bit. Somehow the tailor ended up making it tighter in the waist where it certainly did not need to be tighter and even looser under the arms. So, do I take it back to the guy who screwed it up and make him fix it? Or do I take it to another tailor and pay more money to have it fixed, assuming the first guy really doesn't know what he is doing?
You need to ask for your $$ back from bad tailor and take it to a new tailor.
(edited to add the "r" in your so I didn't sound like Mr. T.)
That sounds like it would require a confrontation, which isn't really something I'm good at.
sj,
not a confrontation. just tell them: the alterations done were not what I wanted. Here are the two things wrong. I would like to take it to a different tailor. May I have my $$ back. Here is my receipt.
If you don't get the response you want or you feel uncomfortable, leave. It needn't be unpleasant, least of all for you who did nothing wrong.

This. Totally.
I get a hive-y reaction to Neosporin if I use it for too many days in a row, or on too large of an area (basically, cut on a finger = no problem; scrape the size of a mass-market paperback on my thigh = I'm gonna get hive-y).
And I totally have a problem with the adhesive on band-aids or even medical tape. After my back surgery, the incision healed great, but I got a bunch of tiny wounds running parallel to it from the tape that held the gauze on. (Again, I'm usually okay with a band-aid for a day or 2, especially on an area like my fingers, because they can take a beating. But on other areas, like my back, which never sees the light of day? Forget it. I'm a delicate goddamn flower.)
And once again, I am Steph. I'm allergic to latex, and to the adhesive in most bandages, and to something in Neosporin. I can handle a little of the last two, but the slightest contact with latex makes my skin burn.
Yeah, people who are all "Woo! Duct tape for kinky shenanigans!" make me want to dial 911. And then it turns out that, no, not everyone is a delicate goddamn flower like me.
I think Delicate Goddam Flower ought to be the default setting for kinky shenanigans. Better to dial it up than down. Also, duct tape, hell no.

My ass is totally pansy. (I feel like that's a variation on an quote from Angel. Something Wesley said? "My ass is not pansy!", maybe?)
