Dress deposit question ( a little long)

Ok.. So I went dress shopping with my mom and sister at the end of January.  The came from out of state to go look with  me.  We started our day with the best experience at a bridal shop.  I tried on a bunch of dresses and I liked a lot of them but I just never got that " this is the dress feeling"  I had about three different dress types in mind and had to go to a second shop to try on the other dresses.  When we arrived at the 2nd shop they were very rude and unattentive ( we had an appointment) so we left after 10 minutes.  My fam was in from out of town so I called another shop to see if they could fit me in.  I tried on more dresses there and in the end and caught up in a lot of emotions...I put a deposit down on a great dress...but again.... It didn't give me that " this is my dress feeling."  After spending two months with the other dress  in the back of my mind and trying to convince myself that the dress I have is amazing..I can't take it any more and spent the last week searching for this other dress so that I can try it on and atleast know if I made the right decision.   I realize that most of you think I am torturing myself..but in hindsight... I probably should have went home after my bad experience and tried again on another day...SO ... My question is... If I walk into this other bridal shop on Tuesday and I try on this "dream dress" and I absolutely fall in love with it and I have to have it.  What am I responsible for with the dress that I ordred?  Some people tell me that i just forfiet my deposit and others tell me I will have to pay the whole amount?  Do any of you know?  My contract is weird and says I am responsible but it also says if I don't pick it up I am out my deposit?  I haven't done anything crazy yet.  Just looking for some thoughts on the subject.

    Every bridal salon is different, it is all up to their contract and policies.  If the salon you ordered your dress through can order your dream dress, check and see if they can apply the deposit towards that new one.  Even though they may not have the style there, depending on the designer, they might still be able to order it for you.

    Rebecca has some great advice.  I would just emphasize checking your contract since each store is different.
