Designer Bones Jones' speaks up about his side of the dress fiasco

Bones Jones came live on his Instagram handle on Monday, March 21, 2022, and and shared his side of the story.

Jones claimed on Instagram live that the dress wasn't solely made by him, but he made the dress with the help of a friend in a very short period of time, i.e., two days. He further stated that the measurements received was not complete, with the inclusion of only "three measurements" from Shannon Beador.

Shannon's mishap was covered by a pink dress, and Jones further said that despite the debacle, he was "still extremely grateful" to Beador for giving him a chance, he wrote in another Instagram post.

"I was going to let everyone think what they wanted to think, and the people who were there knew what was going on, knew what was going down. I was just going to let it be. The messages that were coming in like, ‘OMG the dress is so amazing,’ I would just be like, ‘She looked incredible, right?’ Leave it at that,” he admitted.

Now that the expectations have turned into disappointments, Jones ended up saying he wasn't the one who made the dress.

“If I would’ve just been able to do what I wanted to do from the jump and be the designer … we would’ve had that dress, but by Bones Jones and not by … I don’t even know who that dress is by,” he said.

He further spoke about his reaction to the incident, he ended up crying in regards to the situation and felt truly ashamed.
