Advise for Hedda:

The dresses which Paula had supplied to Hedda were as per their discussion and agreements. Paula has already explained the issues for Guido brand. Then Hedda was OK as informed by Paula.

So now Hedda should not have any problem with the dresses as these dresses were as per the order and agreement between Hedda and Paula.

Hedda was already comfortable with the dresses and love to have such dresses.

The show was OK and no issues in the promo due to dresses.

Thus Hedda should pay to Paula as per the payment contract. If Hedda not willing to pay, then Paula may have legal action against Hedda. In such Legal lawsuit, Paula will be having favor as the conditions and evidences are in support of Paula.

Thus Hedda to pay back the Paula s per their terms and conditions. Because there was not any discussion that the dress should not be from J mart brand. Paula has explained the issue initially and then ordered to J mart designer.
