At my “proper” high-society dress appointment, my future MIL sneered at the gown I brought from my tiny hometown: “Everyone will know you bought something cheap.” She laughed, flipped the collar to prove it was a knockoff, and loudly mocked me in front of her rich friends. Then she saw the label. Her face went white. Her friends went silent. And right then, the woman who designed the dress walked in… and called my mom by her first name.
