Celebrity Justice
Gossip Girl Sued -- Left in Stitches

Posted Oct 23rd 2008 6:15AM by TMZ Staff

Blake Lively has a date with a tailor -- in small clams court.

Brooklyn tailor Angela Bilotti claims Blake hasn't paid $500 for work she did on the dress (left) Lively wore to the Teen Choice Awards

We're told Blake was "extremely kind" during the fitting and even offered to walk over to an ATM to get cash out for the work, but Bilotti told her not to worry. Since then, Bilotti alleges she's tried to contact Blake directly to no avail.

Blake's rep tells us Bilotti botched the job on the dress and Lively agreed to pay her half the fee.

16. Blake is a fake!
Remember how she said she does not party and rarely goes out? Now that she turned 21 she is partying constantly.
Looks ike her ugly nose is growing from all that lying..

17. Blake is NO movie star. Fugface is only an 'also ran' on a popular show.
She has no common decency. Not paying for a measly $500 job if she is so rich, come on. Isn't that trying to take advantage of the tailor?
Blake is white trash.

18. Sounds like Blake is already the typical narcissistic lowclass "actress". Getting someone to cut their bill in half by claiming their work was no good is such a common ploy.
B;lake's behavior stinks.

19. My company uses Angela on photo shoots monthly, and she is amazing!!! The dress does not look botched!! If it was...do you think a celeb would wear it in the end???! Angie is a sweetheart, and prob only turned down Blake going to an ATM on the spot as a favor knowing she would still get paid in the near future. Knowing Angie and now this accusation from Blake has changed my opinion of this little snot who BTW HAS NOT PAID ANYTHING TO ANGIE STILL!!!!

20. The idiot bitch seamstress should have let Blake pay it on the spot as was suggested by Blake in the first place. To call Blake insolent and disrespectful names because a seamstress wouldn't accept payment suggests the ignorant behavior displayed by the seamstress for not accepting payment is okay. However, to be perfectly clear, if the picture is in fact the dress that was tailored, Lively needs to pay up, it does not looked botched.

21. The dress in the photo was not the dress the tailor screwed up - Blake told a reporter the tailor ruined her dress and she had to find a last minute replacement - that's the dress in the photo.

22. Yo guys are such haters,you don't know who is telling the truth don't be mad cause she is beautiful!

23. If that is the dress, she needs to pay the tailor because she was obviously able to repair the botched job since the dress looks fine.


Alice, Blake isn't a movie star. She's only well known for Gossip Girl and a teenybopper chick flick and butter fly, why would people be mad because she's beautiful. Just because she's beautiful to you doesn't mean that she's beautiful to others. Beauty is subjective.
