Some of y’all may remember my dress regret threads a while
back. Basically, my grandma came down to where I live to go dress shopping with
me, and I ended up buying a dress that I realized I didn’t like at all. Grandma kept telling me to put that dress back on again, and the sales lady
insisted that it would probably be gone if I left
and came back later. I got caught up in all the feels and I caved in, and immediately regretted it. It wasn’t the
shape or color that I wanted, and there were a lot of little things that weren’t
right, but the sales lady told me those things could be easily fixed. I took the dress to a seamstress and she said that some of the issues couldn't be fixed at all. Other changes were doable but very
costly. I didn’t want to spend that much money on alterations for a dress that still wouldn't be what I wanted, so I ended up finding a new dress on clearance and I love it.
So now I have to tell my grandma that I've decided not to wear
the dress we bought, and I don’t know how to go about it. She really loved that dress. I don’t want to hurt
her feelings, especially since she traveled all the way here to shop with me. So, what’s the best way to go about that conversation? Of course I don’t want to tell her “I hate
the dress we picked so I bought a new one” but I’m not sure how to spin it to
sound better. Any advice would be much appreciated.
TLDR: I went dress shopping with my grandma, got pressured
into buying a dress and realized I hated it. So I bought a new dress that I love. How do I tell my grandma?
