Question: I ordered a wedding dress of line. I had already been to a wedding dress shop, tried on the one and the size I needed. I ordered a standard size. When I received it is about 2 or 3 sizes too big! Now in order for me to return it for a refund they want me to send pictures with the dress and a measuring chart? I have no idea how to do that or what to do?? On the website before I even ordered the dress it said simply if you are not happy with the workmanship you may return it for a refund but now they want pictures!

Answer: Save yourself some time and the hassle of having to send those pictures. Every bride that I have spoken with wants to save money by ordering online which who can blame them. The problem isn't the poor bride who is just trying to get a dress they fell in love with and then wanted to save money in the process. The problem is all those websites who are taking advantage of the overwhelming emotions associated with purchasing that dress!

I would love to hear feedback on this dress. I am going to have family as well as friends at my wedding including parents, grandparents, aunts and cousins, and while none of us are a TRADITIONAL or conservative bunch, I definitely don't want to offend anyone. In my opinion, if I can wear a bathing suit in front of these people without offending them, this dress should be acceptable. Am I wrong to assume that? I realize a wedding is no place for a bathing suit/bikini, but on any other occasion I would wear this, should I worry about crossing a line BECAUSE of the occasion, or is it acceptable like I am thinking?

Answer: the dress is a bit risqu for a wedding, which I think calls for a more serious outfit. I think that for the occasion, it is too low cut and the see thru bodice is quite low on the hips (almost down to the crotch- yikes). If you like the general design, I think that a tan or silver liner to cover the stomach and some lace or a silver bow to obscure the boob gap would make it more modest and still preserve the integrity of the design. It would certainly be a fabulous and flashy dress choice!

Was that the episode with the girl from Miami with the blond hair who wanted a dress that her daughter would look at in 10 years and say "Mom, what were you thinking?" That dress (with all the crystals) was 8500, I believe. Also, occasion does make a difference. You can wear a bathing suit in front of your grandmother at the pool, but not in the mall. I would have to say that this dress would offend the most moderate of parents.
