Taking to her Instagram story, she recounted how she had contracted the designer identified as Topefnr on Instagram to make the dress. However, when Abiodun received a video of the dress, she was far from impressed and she made this known to the designer.

Abiodun stated that she no longer wanted the dress but the designer insisted on sending it over as she claimed to have already done the job. According to a friend of the bride, the sum of $4,500 dollars (about R63k) was paid for the dress to be made.

In her Instastory post, Abiodun wrote:
