Black & White ruined my dress, the plastic holders they use had melted onto the actual dress, they tried to fix it & made a complete hash of it. My husband was up & down like a yoyo complaining, we only ended up with 100dhs as compensation not the cost of the dress!! Avoid

Her show was amazing - but very disappointed she left a very hot crowd waiting so long in the heat, very selfish! I saw many that struggled & was a mass exist when she finished as everyone realised she wouldn't come back on. I was amazed that the drinks bars where not allowing you to stock up on cold drinks esp water insisting they removed the lids! What was all that about!! Luckily we persuaded one of them to let us have some lids but in the heat like that & with the amount of people there I couldn't believe they had done that!
